    Here it is, small blunders and all…



    Poor @-jeffB didn’t know he’d be cast in a movie. ;)

    It was just a bit part. I'm happy to donate my residuals to CoinTalk. :)

    Your presence and occasional feedback made it a better presentation than a monologue would be. It’s rough, of course- I made a few goofs- but I think it works, as a rough draft. Elizabeth’s contributions were awesome. It is mostly her work.

    I have to say that as I assembled my twelve Ceasars set early this year, I did consume a great deal of info and found each of these twelve me to be eccentric in his own right….. But I sure missed Vespasian and his urine tax. And that today an Italian urinal is called a vespasiano sure speaks to these guys lasting influence. I love stuff like that.

    Rob, thank you. I very much enjoyed it, and like @Randy Abercrombie, I learned a lot! I started to put together a "Poor Man's" Caesar set, but i stopped and considered how important was that to me? I love to see them, but do I want to spend my coin money on a 12 Caesars set? And I just can't talk myself into it. I'd rather spend in other areas. My Ancient focus is really on Coins of the Bible. So, where a Ceasar appears in that group, I'm interested. And the ones that had a major impact in history, I'm interested in those, too. I may wind up with a 12 Ceasar set, but I will have approached it in a different way. Thanks again. Even though I'm not technically trying to create a set, I'm still interested in history, and you piqued my interest, lol. By the way, I do have a Vespasian coin. Thank you sister for her work in this, and @-jeffB, thank you, too!

    Did Zemeckis have a hand in this production?
