Introduction
Persona
Roman naming conventions, being the opposite of our modern naming system, makes Celera my personal name, used by family and friends. Gnaea is my family name.
Celera is a 1st century Roman glassworker and is apprenticed to Master Ali (otherwise known as Arab Boy).
(With a deep love of textiles and all of the periods within the Society, it is not uncommon to find me in everything from Roman to Late Period garb. I may, or may not, have multiple persona disorder...)
