(Less so in the later Empire.) He went broke several times but always came back again. Like many comedians, he has a sad face. (Miracle that portrait survived--it's on Wikipedia.) He was much mourned by an adoring public when he died. In mitigation of his sexism, he also said: I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within. and Where there are friends there is wealth. Indeed. :) Cheers, /s You’ve made me reacquaint myself with Titus, Eman:
