I need to go back to Rome.
August 19, 2009 at 9:59 am (2) ancienthistory says:: I have a feeling my clues may actually mislead.
August 19, 2009 at 12:16 pm (3) Beth says:: I had to click through to see who, too… but learned more about the fellow! For example, I’d not realized he ruled for so long! Thanks!
August 19, 2009 at 7:00 pm (4) Sukhmandir Kaur says:: It’s not your clues as much as our lack of knowledge or at least in my case. I’m struck how lifelike these busts are. The Romans were certainly masters of art with stone.

August 20, 2009 at 2:26 pm (6) Loretta says:: Reactionary post:
Darn it, that was actually my first thought, but 2nd guessed myself. Cannot wait until next wednesday.
