Minor quibble here:  of *course* Sev recognizes his portrait on "his"
chrisos.  He posed for it!  I think his denial to Hadelin is a mixture
of (a) dry humor, (b) an unwillingness to begin a discussion which
would only make him sound insane, and (c) a deliberate echo of Graves's
_Claudius_the_God_.
