  Too good it was. One of them sneaked into the Strip and approached me with some gibberish about Caesar when I walked out of the Lucky38 the other day.

  The description of a Speculatore seems quite similar to the Japanese shinobi. Not the unlikely &quot;ultimate assassin,&quot; but the sociocultural chameleon and intelligence gatherer.

  They are the Frumentarii, the Legions watching eyes, and telling Truth to Tariis is always very wise!

  Are there any historical documents describing Frumentarii as glowing in the dark?

  Intelligence and Reconnaissance are distinct. The romans sent grain merchants ahead of the army. They met all the big landholders, knew where they lived and to whom they sold how much of their harvest, all without prying. Disaffected sons of nobility (+network) were attracted as a both local expert and &apos;client king-in-waiting&apos; (Caesar&apos;s &apos;De bello Gallico&apos;)
