Perhaps a book that could be written is: "Continuum Medicum Romanum"? It could contain such legendary quotations like: "You'll be happy and gay, on the Appian Way, with a chariot by Mad Marcus".

Just ordered a great botany book for my local cleric (he's a big succulent fan) who's off to the Canary Islands later this month:

'Sedum on Gomera'.
