Thank god no one asked me to explain the ancient Roman origins of the "Platypus" and their victory at the battle of Actium over Mark Antony. I
was hired by HBO for the series "Rome" to provide historic accuracy. The producers were skeptical at first but if you look very carefully at the
Actium battle scene you can see Augustus looking at the ground giving orders. The platypus are simply out of shot for artistic reasons. This is the
compromise I made with the producers before they had me escorted off the set.......
