Pullo and Verenus are real too, sort of, being the only two Roman soldiers mentioned in Caesar's history of the Gallic Wars. Verenus a Centurion and Pullo a legionaire.
I've a feeling M'ludner knows more.
Why, thank you. I have to admit, I do not recollect encountering those names in CAESAR's books. He does mention others, though, such as SEXTVS BACVLVS (Possible misspelling in the second name, could be BACCVLVS or BACVLLVS) whom he shows as perhaps the greatest soldier in his army in GALLIA COMITATENSIS. He also names two of the CENTVRIONES who scaled the walls of GERGOVIA and were killed on them.
