Subject: 15.0173 Julius Caesar : New Question
Comment:        Re: SHK 15.0173 Julius Caesar : New Question

Since the original race was not run in the nude -- wasn't Greek after
all -- and given the bias against actors as sinful folk of the day -- I
very much doubt that the staging of the lupercal was done in the nude,
notably since Antony is running, and one expects his character would not
be naked for a variety of reasons. HR Greenberg MD ENDIT
