At least I'm reading.

I'm reading this biography of Cicero and, because it's told in what very closely approximates a narrative style, I keep imagining Hugh Laurie as the face of the great orator.





....That's weird, right?

Right.

Love your icon. I wrote a paper on imperial iconography when I was in college.

Thanks! It's David Bamber playing Cicero in 'Rome'. I saw the episode just after we'd studied sculpture in Roman Art & Architecture and when I saw him raise his arm like that I immediately thought 'ADLOCUTIO!'. I was so proud of myself for recognizing the pose. :D
