<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3182385, member: 76194&quot;]I think the University of Michigan needs to look at getting a new professor of Greek and Latin studies. This guy looks like he probably graduated from the same school as the Ancient Aliens guy. I&#039;m shocked at the claim that he appears as an expert on Ancient Rome for television history documentaries, yet manages to makes such basic mistakes that anyone here (none of us are experts on Rome) can easily spot a mile away. An expert on Rome has never seen imperial portraits and can&#039;t tell the difference between Antoninus Pius and Caracala? Can&#039;t he read the Latin inscriptions on the coins and figure out Severus Alexander is not Geta? For crying out loud, he is a Latin professor.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And how can anyone with a degree in Latin Studies confuse Pliny the Younger with Virgil? What an embarrassment. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie18" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banhappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This might explain it, here is an image of the professor in question:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]820264[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Professor David Potter</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
