"I inherited it, as I tell you, from my father," replied Caracalla. "Severus sometimes wore it. But wait. After the battle of Issos, in his triumph over Pescennius Niger I can see him now he wore it on his shoulder, and that was " "Two-and-twenty years ago," the philosopher put in; and Caracalla, turning to Melissa, asked her: "How old are you, child?"
