BallsToTheWall
04.08.12 | We might be talking about somebody else then...pretty sure Octavius..the one who crushed Cleopatras/Antonys army and who influenced the empire for more than a 1000 years lived a lot longer than 18. Tranny? I doub it. |
Ovrot
04.08.12 | i was talking about 1 |

eternium
04.08.12 | Only reason the Mongols didn't conquer Europe was because of the plague.
The black plague bacteria was the most m/ of all. |
Ovrot
04.09.12 | Yeah

Is there any metal albums about the plague? |

04.09.12 | Diocletian muthafuckas. |
Ovrot
04.09.12 | Diocletian was badass
|
BallsToTheWall
04.09.12 | especially when it came to his stance on Christianity. |
Ovrot
04.09.12 | he also retired from being a emperor and had a sweet garden in his house |
BallsToTheWall
04.09.12 | Yah, not being assassinated and leaving the office on his own terms, alive, is pretty commendable. |
Ovrot
04.09.12 | especially for a roman emperor
that job doesn't have a good job safety rate |
ThyCrossAwaits
04.09.12 | There was a period where there were 36 Roman emperors within 40 years. Only 1 died of natural causes.
Irony: Diocletian divided the empire into quadrants, which is where we get the word "diocese" lol |
Ovrot
04.09.12 | neat |
StrangerofSorts
04.09.12 | Fun facts: Nero fucked his mum and also little boys. He'd tie them up to posts then dress up as an animal and rape them. Also Caligula was a prick in every sense of the word - he went completely mad with power.
The more you know. Oh, and Augustus was the absolute tits. You guys need to read up on your Tacitus/ Suetonius. |
Aids
04.09.12 | Nero was such a disgusting motherfucker
wasn't he the one that kicked his pregnant wife to death and then forced some guy that looked like her to dress up as a woman and pretend to be her so he could fuck him? |
Palimpsest
04.09.12 | Those emperors drove Rome into the ground, other than maybe Hadrian. Augustus is the best. Deal with it. |

04.09.12 | I'm studying in Rome at the moment so naturally I'm all up in the Ancient Rome bizness.
Nero was a pussy not sure why you put him on here.
Domitian is one of my favorites, has he been mentioned? I mean he did build the Coliseum and all.
Hadrian was ok.
Overall my favorites are Augustus and Marcus Aurelius though... Aurelius is definitely one of the most interesting, surprising he hasn't been mentioned yet. Augustus is just obvious. |
SeaAnemone
04.09.12 | Oh and not sure how I forgot Commodus: the guy walked around Rome literally with a lion skin on his back and a giant club made from a tree trunk because he believed he was the reincarnation of Hercules. He would stage gladiator fights just to kill people all the time. Did I mention he strolled around Rome wearing a lion on his back with its paws tied around his neck?
Yeah he's the most badass. |
SpiritCrusher2
04.09.12 | so the conclusion is they were all fucking lunatics |
SeaAnemone
04.09.12 | Not Augustus, guy was an amazing ruler. |
Tyrannic
04.09.12 | he's no andrew jackson

04.09.12 | oh wait you said you'd be gone by then i think. you'll just have to come to vancovuer and chill sometime I guess. |
SeaAnemone
04.09.12 | Yeah I leave April 29, unless I can find a way to somehow miss my plane, ditch my family, and just live at Italian discotecas and pizza places for the rest of my life. Trust me- plan in the works ; ) |
Aids
04.09.12 | sounds like a perfect plan. I'll meet you there. |
StrangerofSorts
04.09.12 | "Domitian is one of my favorites, has he been mentioned? I mean he did build the Coliseum and all. "
Nah, Vespasian + Titus built the Colosseum. Domitian added an underground section though. Not quite sure why you like him, Tacitus makes him out to be an absolute dick. |
