Longinus


Technically I don't think there was anything that could kill Longinus. Longinus was doomed to walk the face of the earth until the second coming of Christ according to some books. His charecter in the "Seventh Sign" with Demi Moore stuck around until he eventually tried to aid the second coming. If any are interested, Barry Sadler (yes...Ballad of the Green Berets Barry Sadler)wrote a real good series of books called the CASCA series. It deals with Casca Longinus from the cruxifiction all the way up to after the Vietnam war. The eternal mercenary, finding love and happiness... always to loose it again and again. The series won't win a Pulitzer but good just the same.

Wow. I didn't know there was anyone else around who remembered Barry Sadler, much less that has read the Casca books. You're right-not great literature, but not bad books, either.

I am a big fan of the Casca books. There have been several new books in the series released over the last few years. see www.casca.net

Yeppers. They locked him up in a coffin and dropped him into the sea. Yet he lives. He waits for someone to find and release him.
