SPQR - Senatus PopulusQue Romae- 'the Senate and People of Rome' - found on many a Roman inscription and upon the eagle standards of the legions on their march northwards into Scotland in 79AD under Agricola, who set up camp along the River Tay in Perth - Bertha in Latin - now has a new meaning.
Ossian, our champion award-winning supremely golden ale, is now on sale in the Eternal City at the Coliseum in Rome courtesy of our importer Johnny's Off-Licence (http://www.offlicense.it/). Two years past, Arlene and I had a wee break in Rome, our 'Roman Holiday', even including Vespa rides around the Forum and the Coliseum, before a very pleasant afternoon spent in Johnny's Off-Licence sampling the glorious Ossian.
Fresh supplies arriving at Johnny's Off-Licence
Therefore SPQR also stands for Stylish Premium Quaffing in Rome!
Salute!
