Geminus is appointed to the Imperial Treasury during the reign of Nero, who was renowned for his extravagance. The money flowed out and the remedy they thought of led to creeping inflation - and ultimately, disaster.

This week: Our School
Truancy has become an alarming problem. No one knows how many children ' bunk off' school. Some experts put the figure as high as half-a-million a day.
The teacher shortage, raising the school-leaving age, overcrowded classrooms, difficult family backgrounds, all contribute to the problem.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets - where more than 600 schoolchildren are absent from school every day - two teachers have set up an experimental school for truants, aged 8-15, in a crypt under a church.
Experts who realise that the juvenile court isn't an answer to the problem are watching with interest as this tiny experimental school grows. Already there's a 100 per cent regular attendance. Now the children are pleading for the school to stay open at weekends.
