So these Adlocutio coins are very collectible. On the other side, they have a magnificent portrait of a young Caligula. Now, the coins of Claudius, who comes after Caligula, you're absolutely right. They have this interesting, they have this crenellated wall and buildings inside. And it's a strange image, in a sense, because they're actually highlighting military camp in Rome.

But then people will know the story because Tiberius is long dead. Caligula took over as his successor. And it was an equestrian prefect, leader, Cassius Caria, who led the conspiracy to kill him successfully, as it turns out. And now apparently in Rome, they've actually found the corridor that he was assassinated in, which I'm sure is very emotive when you go and see it.

The palace is where Claudius, this person who a lot of people think is a fool, turns out he's not quite such a fool after all. He is found initially by the German bodyguard. right, who are running around confused what they're going to do. And they find this man behind a curtain. And the story goes that they present this man not quite sure what to do.

And someone comes in and says, no, this is actually a member of the family. You're supposed to protect him. And then the Praetorians take over and they take him to the Praetorian camp. And in the meantime, as news is reaching the Senate, the story goes that the We'll do away with these Caesars.

Except the Praetorians have a view in this and they present their man and say, you're going to take this man, aren't you? And of course, what he does, he takes over and he, of course, pays them handsomely for the charge. And later in 1843, some Praetorians come to Britain. along with the elephants.

And it's quite fascinating to think that Colchester would have seen elephants as well, but also Praetorian cohorts too, because they were a personal bodyguard. They would go wherever he would. So you can imagine an entourage of the emperor on the move was thousands of people. Can you imagine if you're going by sea?

I mean, you've got transports and trimes, you're mentioning hexaremes and so on, moving equipment and horses and all this sort of stuff. and food if necessary. And this is how you have to imagine a trade union campaign with this large number of people or Hadrian when he goes on his tours.

We tend to think, I think these days, you know, like a US president, I'm living in the United States, and you constantly see Air Force One arriving and a man comes down and there's these guys with these curly cords in their ears and so on. And the Secret Service is quite small body, at least in public, I'm sure it's hundreds of people. But the Roman optics of that would probably be much bigger.
