The Optimus Princehips

There's something about the kind of, you talk about power. And the story that you tell in this book is very different from today because the power is so unvarnished and present. So Trajan really does deserve triumph. You know, he conquers Dacia, this very, very golden, silver-rich territory that kind of occupies what's now Romania. This is seen as absolutely splendid. He comes back and he lavishes money on Rome.
