Elder son of Drusus, about 25, brother of Julius — the Gazetteer’s “cartography enthusiast,” and the man who found a map with the mirror lake on it. (S8)
(Gazetteer spelling Atilius; the notes have Atillius / Attilius. Name as the Gazetteer gives it.)
What We Know
- Cartography enthusiast. (Gazetteer) About 25. (S8)
- Quite enthusiastic talking maps with Haroun and Farraj; found a map with the mirror lake on it. (S8)
- Correlating the maps proved hard; he got frustrated and went off in a sulk on day 3 — and came back to the problem on day 4. (S8)
Relationships
- Julius Menenius — younger brother
- Haroun al-Affan, Farraj ibn Ihab al-Rabi — four days of map work
Speculation
Speculation
House Menenia is famous for guarding recovered Imperial navigation methods as family assets (GM primer — see House Menenia), and Master Baram says the house is “obsessed with this kind of stuff.” Atilius opened the map room to strangers with real enthusiasm. Either the house sanctioned it as part of courting House Ulpia, or Atilius is a hobbyist who doesn’t much care what the family guards. Worth knowing which before relying on him again.
Appearances
- Session 8 — maps at Castromar; the mirror lake found.
