Zazzle Monday!

Today is a Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, but I’m still working! Lots to do, including this blog!

So last week we dipped in to the world of ancient Greece with a Sparta hat, this week we are swinging back to the Romans.

What I love about the ancient world is that it can inspire so many things, a desire to learn for example. An inexplicable urge to throw yourself in a trench in Greece and start poking things with a trowel. And humour, lots of humour.

Today I bring to you a postcard that’s poking a little bit of fun at the Roman emperor Nero. Nero was famous for being a nutter, and at the time he considered himself to be a wonderful musician. He liked going to Greece and competing in their musical competitions because he said they were the only ones that could appreciate his talent (they knew what side their bread was buttered and gave him first prize every time). So I had to chuckle when I saw this:
