Not sure if this was intentional but some of the information regarding the Roman emperors here is wrong. Titus was not disembowelled (he died of brain fever), Hadrian didn't die peacefully (long and painful illness) and Nero didn't set fire to Rome (though it's a popular myth).
Furthermore, the final "unknown" bust is clearly Vespasian.
the word 'pretentious' comes to mind.

You can watch these movies time and time again and never figure them out.

No doubt, Vespasian ;)
Every collector of ancient coins knows it.
Well, Greenaways movies are famous for their arrangements, not for their content.
