    Calpurnius Piso was an interesting historical figure in the first century:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Calpurnius_Piso

    One excerpt in particular:

    "Piso was tall, good-looking, affable, and an excellent orator and advocate in the courts. Despite these facts Piso's overall integrity was questionable."

    Gee, a lawyer with questionable integrity... isn't that rare. Seems even in ancient Rome, lawyers had bad reputations. Just like today, where 98% of lawyers give the other 2% a bad name.

    True, but that's the only way I can get my RR's in this thread. Besides, Moneyers were a part of the hierarchy, right?
