On this photo from 1958 we see Geoffrey Rickman (author of "Roman Granaries and Store Buildings" and "The Corn Supply of Ancient Rome") in the latrine near the Terme del Foro.
Rickman is second from the right in the light-grey suit. Second from the left is Anthony Blunt. Blunt belongs in the row Maclean - Burgess - Philby - Cairncross, the "Cambridge Five".
A few years after this photo was taken Blunt confessed to having been a spy for the Soviet Union and the KGB from the 1930's to the 1950's.
