I honestly wish I knew! The manuscript was submitted to Lynn on the 4th of May, and Dustin sent me a confirmation of its receipt on the 21st. Since then its been silent running. I had a quick chat with Charlie at Continuum, and it seems that Chaosium is awash with more raw BRP material than they can immediately handle.
A few things may be delaying its publication. Firstly, its a seriously big supplement packed to the brim with history, culture and Latin, which makes it a significant (and possibly daunting) project for any editor. Secondly, since it was intended to be a proper book, rather than a straight-to-print monograph, it was submitted in raw text with no artwork (although the maps were all done and included) - necessitating further effort by a layout editor. Thirdly, the poll on the Chaosium website, showed that historical supplements are lagging behind other genres, so they may be focusing their efforts on publishing more popular settings - and wisely so!
In conclusion, I wouldn't hold your breath!
