It's an empire, Michael. How long could it be dead for? Several years?

After 5 years of on-and-off listening, today I finally finished The History of Rome podcast. So I'm all for as many Roman shitposts as possible.

May I recommend the Fall of Rome podcast next. And then the History of Byzantium podcast. You're set for life

Rome never fell, it went underground enrolled some gospel writers, and rules from the shadows of mount Olympus.

Rome didn’t fall until 1453. Let’s be real - Justinian and Theodora >>>> like Caracalla.

Theodora was such a baddie that even while Precopius was trying to cancel he was clearly gooning.

If you don’t look at an icon and feel a little twinge of desire to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, what are you?

Constantinople was so bussin’ that even loser crusaders got jealous.

C’mon they had chariot racing sport teams, and people would riot when their team lost - the Nike riots killing a fuckton of people. Like modern soccer fans, they took athletics very seriously!

It’s time to bring the true Roman Empire back!

As long as I can write vulgar dis peoms like Cattalus 16 I'm down...

Pēdīcābō ego vōs et irrumābō Aurēlī pathice et cinaede Fūrī......

I wonder what Wittgenstein or Sapir and Whorf would make of the fact that Latin had a whole verb for “face fucking.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like to think the term casual sex stands in opposition to competitive sex that I assume Roman's had somewhere sometime...
