Thread Name: Lyr Req: King Karactacus / Caractacus
Subject: Lyr Add: King Caracticus
I've always seen it spelled "Caracticus." Is there an official correct (Karact?) spelling? He was a Roman, wasn't he (when the Romans invaded what is now England)? I don't recall Latin having a "k" -- but maybe his name got Germanicized.
