Fun fact: Ever wondered why it's called The Iliad? Because Ilium was another name for Troy, and the -ad suffix was used to mean "The Story of." This means that, if you translated the title, The Iliad should actually be called Troy Story.

Here's one of my preciouses. A portrait coin of Caesar as a priest, minted shortly before the Ides of March, and at a time when minting the portraits of living people was a scandalous novelty in the Roman republic, smacking altogether of monarchy... #IdesOfMarch
