ZOMG! Delenn is Thomas Becket and Neroon is Henry II! Or Neroon is Friedrich II and Delenn is Pope Innocent IV...

Centauri military: there is the "war minister" who is among Londo's and Vir's anti-Cartagia-conspiracy, and Londo's friend Urza is explicitly referred to as a war hero, but it all seems very Roman in nature, i.e. if you're from a noble house, you do some military time as part of the cursus honorum, but then you get into politics. I don't think we see non-noble soldiers except for the ever present guards in their Roman uniforms, and we don't have info whether they're enlisted or serve voluntarily. Still, if even the torturers have their own guild, one assumes becoming a soldier is something you as an ordinary Centauri citizen can decide, or not. (Following the Roman model again I imagine you do have to be a citizen to join, though.)
