    People who go nuts for Rome are so funny. They're all like "we must go back to this beautiful cradle of civilisation" and you read any history and it's like "the Emperor's bodyguard just keep assassinating the Emperor".

    Imagine knowing about the Third Century Crisis or the Year of Four Emperors and being like "we have to go back".

    The only good thing about the Roman Empire is that if you messed up bad enough you were basically just expected to kill yourself. Maybe that should come back for our glorious leaders.
