Alexander bust at auction

Post by marcus »

A small, but quite interesting nugget courtesy of RogueClassicism, about a Hellenistic bust of Alexander going up for auction. Look at the rather intriguing comment at the bottom of the article - I wonder what that's all about? :?

I'd like to comment but it might be construed as "harassment". Oh... hang on.. you actually asked the question. Then again if I answer a question about that blog or its comment am I harassing?

Oh dear...

Wicked men, you sin against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander.
