Thank you
The reason I asked was because I have met people who conflated or confused the history of Draco and draconian law with the scant fact and much larger fiction of Dracula, mistakenly thinking that Vlad the Impaler was the author of so-called draconian law.
I merely wished to confirm you had your facts straight, not that I necessarily assumed you didn't.

I hadn't even thought of Dracula! I can sort of see how some people might connect him with Draco, but I usually think of him as good old Vlad the Impaler, or Vlad Tepes on his tax forms. :)

Well, that's fascinating, and I thank you for that. But I would appreciate RoxStar confirming that that's who she meant.

You're right, she could have been referring to OTHER ancient Draco from whose name we get the modern term draconian. I get them mixed up sometimes.

There's no call to be snotty. Of course I am aware of that Draco. She could have some other idea. It is possible. I wanted to verify. And I was asking her.
