Thanks for the interesting blog. I will check back often. That said, I thought this little video quite rushed and it seemed the two speakers spent the whole time talking over one another and just rushing to get their thoughts in.

It is very interesting blog, I like ancient history. The video is a beautiful contrivance to convey three aspects of his public image: soldier, emperor, and administrator. A volume of Plutarch’s Lives positions him with the great generals of ancient history and reinforces the meaning of the uniform, sword, and campaign maps.

I agree with Brian. It was a little confusing and too much to take in at once, but still a good video nonetheless.
