Pope Alexander VI (the Borgia) staged a bullfight in Saint Peter's Square. That might be interesting to watch.

 

I wouldn't want to see Caesar murdered.

 

Virgil read from the Aeneid to Augustus, his wife Livia and his sister Octavia. That would be interesting to hear it read from the poet's mouth. When he came to Marcellus in the Underworld Octavia fainted. She was his mother.

Does Prince Harry's infamous night of naked billards in Las Vegas count?

 

If you want it to. Me, I'd rather be with Henry V at Agincourt.

 

The game's afoot:

Follow your spirit, and upon this charge

Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
