One person's barbarity is another person's civilisation.
I'd quite like to be in Caligula's court - living in the back room somewhere and just being able to observe.
My mother took me to the British Museum aged five. I had thought people from the past weren't as good as we were, and then I saw the Elgin marbles. Suddenly, the world seemed more complicated.
