On Strange Coincidences

I was chatting with my fellow Edinburgh reform group Convenor this afternoon about 2013 campaigns and plans. Which was nice.

On the way home she mentioned a piece of work she is doing on the use of theatre in Japan to legitimise the Imperial family. Knowing that I had an interest in theatre and Romans she wondered if I might know anything about use of popular entertainment by roman politicians. A little it turns out.

But then it occurred to me, I know way way less than someone I know about the politics of early imperial Rome. So I was able to suggest a name of a mutual acquaintance.

Which was nice.
