Mary Beard Lecture on Imperial Busts

This is one fascinating lecture concerning what we don't know about imperial busts, given by classical scholarships premier skeptic Mary Beard. Coins are indeed discussed.

Really good lecture... coincidentally after I watched that, there was a "mystery" statue in the BBC 4 program "Petworth House: The Big Spring Clean"... after some investigation, it turned out to be a rare statue of a young Nero. Up until then, the statue was listed as "item number 55, boy with a toga".
