The masks which were worn by ancient Roman actors were not only for the audience's eyes, they were also for its ears. They served as voice amplifiers so the actors could be heard throughout the vast Roman theaters. Fadl Ben Shahar was Grand Vizier of Caliph Mamun in Baghdad, and he was also a famed clairvoyant. He even predicted his own death at the hands of Ali Arrida in his bath. In an attempt to change his fate, he tried to make friends with his foe. He even persuaded the Caliph Mamun to name Ali Arrida as his successor. But his scheme backfired, for when Ali took over, his first official act was to have Fadl assassinated, and it was in his bath. Believe It or Not!
