Which Roman Emperor are you?
« on: March 18, 2024, 02:48:32 PM »
Bit of fun. I got Marcus Aurelius. And I was really hoping for Caligula.

I'm Clavdivs - which I'm pleased about, because he was one of the better emperors.

Julius Caesar.

Admittedly I was aiming for him.

Edit: Wait a minute. Julius Caesar wasn't emperor.

Didn't they do a TV series about him...

...in which he went round solving murders during The Anarchy?

I'm Constantine - and here was me hoping for Caracalla.

True, and yet he is the most famous 'emperor'

You Clavdivs. It's an interesting one. The big question mark which is what Robert Graves tried to deal with is the marriage to Agrippina the Younger, but looking at the corpses that littered the path to being emperor through his life, it makes sense.

I take it that's a baths related comment. Constantine had some too.

Well do have a love of baths in common: I don't suppose his was accompanied by a wee dram, which for me is an essential component of a successful bath - his loss!

You Clavdivs.
As you imply, I missed a trick - I should have written "I Claudius".
