[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

It is interesting that we know more about the Caesars than we do about King Harold and the kings who lived 1000 years later.

I couldn't resist buying the delightful dramatization of I, Claudius, starring Derek Jacobi (and many others, including John Hurt and even Patrick Stewart as Tiberius' dreaded enforcer Sejanus) on DVD, a few years ago.

Watched originally as a mini-series installment of "Masterpiece Theater," back in the late '70's. Worth every penny.

“It is interesting that we know more about the Caesars than we do about King Harold and the kings who lived 1000 years later.”

True, but we know as much about King Harold’s academic record as we know about BO’s.
