THE BIRTH OF FAME

«...the concept of fame has been stretched almost to breaking point since it was literally first minted by Alexander the great in the 4th century BC. For placing his own portrait on his empire's coinage where previously there had only been images of the Gods, Alexander is often cited as the original self conscious seeker of fame».
