I'd say most of the shit written pre-1700ish or so is made up. Especially Ancient "historian" writings.

It's not made up, it actually happened.

The part people exaggerate is the effects of his excessive gift giving. I've seen it get hyperbolised into him crashing the economy, or like you say, that "gold didn't recover in value for 200 years".

What actually happened was that he slightly devalued gold in Egypt. It's quite a significant feat for one guy but it doesn't look as good on an Atlanta Blackstar headline

It's real. Too bad there was nothing worth spending money on at the time.

Are you suggesting a bit of 'embellishment' may have occurred in order to secure continued readership interest?

Potentially. Or just straight up made up shit that never happens and was never researched

>Caesar and the Pirates


Fuck off Plutarch! This never fucking happened!!!

He was rich in gold but having an economy that runs on lots of gold isn't a good idea at all.

He also decided to waste a lot of his gold on a road trip instead of improving his kingdom.

European and Muslim kingdoms managed diversify their incomes which is better in the long run.
