[QUOTE="Bing, post: 3931577, member: 44132"]History indeed! I've told this story before, but what the heck. I feel nostalgic tonight. When I was 12 years old, my parents enrolled me in a thespian troupe. After being an understudy for a year or so, I was selected to play Marcus Antonius in Shakespeare's The Death of Julius Caesar.

I was enamored with Marcus Antonius from that point. I read every historical piece and novel about MA that I could get my hands on, and in 1981 I purchased my first Ancient coin. Need I say that it was a legionary denarius of MA. [ATTACH=full]1036203[/ATTACH] The rest, as you say, is history! P.S., I also played the role of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
