Christmas mail does seem to be slow. I sent my present to Caballo two weeks before Christmas and he hasn't got it yet! :?

Royal Mail or whatever they are called now decided that these should all go "Re-enactor" class post.................

Bring back the Cursus Publicus!

"The Cursus publicus, founded by Augustus, carried the mail of officials by relay throughout the Roman road system. The vehicle for carrying mail was a cisium with a box, but for special delivery, a horse and rider was faster. A relay of horses could carry a letter 500 miles in 24 hours. The postman wore a characteristic leather hat, the petanus. The postal service was a somewhat dangerous occupation, as postmen were a target for bandits and enemies of Rome.

Private mail of the well-to-do was carried by tabellarii, an organization of slaves available for a price."

I guess it's ok, giving and not receiving. That's more blessed, it's written. I like blessings!
