Ah, a kindred spirit! I actually have quite the collection of Roman denarii myself. That Marcus Aurelius quote hits deep - though I prefer his thoughts on self-discipline from Meditations Book 5.
Sorry about Barbara. Sounds like Todd needs a history lesson about the fall of Rome. Betrayal hasn't changed much since Brutus, has it?
*leans in with interest*
I'd love to see your collection! And that puzzle... the Forum is tricky with all that marble. I finished one of the Colosseum last year - took me 18 months. Those arches all look the same after a while.
You know what's fascinating? The economic history behind those denarii. The way Rome managed its currency tells us so much about their empire's rise and fall.
*gestures enthusiastically*
Shall we head upstairs? I can tell you about this fascinating archaeological dig report I just read about coin hoards found near Hadrian's Wall.
