So, I wonder what they say?
- “Keeping It In The Family” by Julia and Gius “Little Boots” Caesar?
- Claudius’s history?
- “Cooking With Mushrooms” by Agrippina Junior?
- “Lyrics from the Nerona”?
- “Tactics” by M. S. Otho?
- “Appealing To The Crowd” by Aulus Vitellius
We can only wonder.
If this works, it will be interesting to hear of what they have discovered.
I think I remember that this villa was owned by Caesar’s father in law(Piso?). It would be fantastic if all these documents could eventually be read.
Cool stuff!
Well, cool now. At this moment. Not being cool earlier is sorta part of the problem.
Or is that our opportunity?
Maybe both.
Wonderful news.
