Many of these were historical in their settings and took place during the Roman empire (<i>I Claudius, Masada, The Last Days of Pompeii, A.D.). </i>Despite the cheesy nature of a few of them, I was inspired to read about Roman history, particularly the Flavian Dynasty (the Masada and Pompeii miniseries were particularly influential). And of course Suetonius was an eye-opener!</p><p><br /></p><p>Many years later I realised one could actually collect the coins the Romans actually used. A whole new world had opened up before my eyes! I haven&#039;t looked back since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
