@ Rayn haydyn Because we are playing courtesan, not a maiden, bride or wife...

@ StoryGirl83 I guess Syphax seemed to be quite popular ancient Numidian/African male name, as much as Sabina was quite popular ancient Roman female name.

The first time I had met name "Syphax" in Quo Vadis, novel of Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. The whole action takes place in Rome during Nero's reigns. Among the main crew there was a strong man named Ursus. There was an episodic scene when two men were disputing who is stronger, Ursus or a certain gladiator named Syphax of Ethiopia. However, name "Syphax" was only mentioned once in the book, and he was fictional character.
