Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; Do not become the slave of your model. - Vincent Van Gogh

I found Rome a city of brick: I left it a city of marble. - Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus

[ElusiveAthena]

Yay, Turin! Perfectly right!

 

I loved studying Augustus in Ancient History last year - he was an incredible personage who did marvellous things for Rome (though his ethics were a bit debatable)... I can spout so many random facts about him and his reign, such as after he defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra he was given the "civic crown" to hang on his doorway, for "services to his country", and that he frequently portrayed himself wearing the laurel wreath... So this is actually very appropriate. *laying wreath on the statue of Augustus Caesar*

 

Time for Great 6:
