Very nice,Primvs.
Why do you think the Capricorn is wrong?
Do you mean for your group or generally?

Just a dumb question,please. Why is fourteen sometimes
written XIIII and other times XIV. Is the last one more modern?
(a bit OT,sorry) but I've been wondering.

Andy,
Yes, you're right. Setting the numeral fourteen as "XIV" is a modern thing. The Romans themselves didn't follow such strict rules, so sometimes you'll see XIIII and other times XIV.
