Triple convergence

[Jorge_Stolfi]

It's an arbitrary symbol in an arbitrary place. It looks like an inverted letter 'V', the Roman numeral 'five' and it's in the fifth position. That is a coincidence! And the 'coincidences' mount up from there.  They are objective facts from valid historical sources. This is not something that happens by accident.

I would be impressed if there was more than ONE symbol in that list with such a coincidence. 

"Octavian" has eight letters, and the fifth one is "v".  Is that more than just a double coincidence?

All the best, and Happy New Year! --stolfi
