<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4913796, member: 111237&quot;]A truly stunning collection of his coinage. Thanks for posting them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Funny you mention Robert Graves because it was I, Claudius and the sequel Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina that drove me to study history.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I was working in the college library, my job was to take picture to be made into slides (ages me I know) for teachers. I spent some time while working there devouring Tacitus, Dio (they had the full collection), Livy, Suetonius, Juvenal, etc...because I wanted to know what the sources said about these people. These days I only read history sources. </p><p><br /></p><p>I saved a few shots in every roll of the camera to take picture of Roman busts which I later gave to my ancient history teacher to use in his class. Got an A. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Graves really inspired me, totally changed my life.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a big budget Claudius movie partially shot staring Charles Laughton but never finished. Looked very ambitious and I think would have really done the book justice but unfortunately little is left of it and the massive props and sets built for it...it&#039;s a shame. The 12 part mini series is great though. Maybe some day someone will try again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1184997[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184998[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184999[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
