Tummy Ache

Nico: *gets a tummy ache and raises his hand* Chiron: Yes, Mr. di Angelo? Nico: I have a tummy ache, I'd like to see the doctor. Octavian: A tummy ache? Nico: Yes, OcTavian. I have a tummy and it aches, ergo, tummy ache Octavian: Ergo? Nico: It's latin, OcTavian.

apparently the statue head in the pompeii scene was also the same guy as octavius? funny how he got to meet himself lmao.

imagine if they helped him get around on a roomba

Ummm ☝️🤓 actually I think our Octavius is supposed to be Gaius Octavius and the statue head is Augustus Ceasar (aka his son which makes this 100 times funnier imo)

Here's a closeup photo from the movie (I couldn't find a better picture but you can kinda make out that it says 'Augustus Ceasar' and then something else I couldn't decipher).

Also here's a photo from Wikipedia

hashirama and madara is not the romeo and juliet of naruto. no one is.

madara and izuna is the romeo and juliet at second glances. or rather, the mark anthony and cleopatra of naruto.

izuna is cleopatra. the senju is the romans who conquered them, conquered her, and drives her up into a corner of defeat and suicide.

hashirama and tobirama together are octavian and julius, in other words, traits of augustus and julius ceasars are fairly exchanged in the brothers. hashirama has the status and power of julius but the cunning tactics of octavian. tobirama has augustus' bearings but caesar's war savvy and thundergodlike thorough influence. the senju and their people reigned supreme and made uchiha their egypt in a way.

madara is mark anthony or a twisted version of him. the uchiha/egypt lost in real times but their image haunts the romans. the only difference is izunas mark anthony never had enough decency and honor to die with him, disregarded his wishes, went gay for ceasar and delusional about his life, betrayed both his rome and egypt to pursue his own goals, and actively stayed alive to be a miserable war criminal.

Yea, Regan & Thatcher ruined a lot of things, but I think blaming them for everything is a bit much. We need to go further back. The real cause of all our current woes is the fucking romans.

A ROMAN BRONZE SPHINX CIRCA 1ST CENTURY B.C. - 1ST CENTURY A.D.

Representations of sphinxes are known in Egyptian, Greek and Roman art, from the Great Sphinx in Giza dating the 4th Dynasty to diminutive 3rd Century Roman intaglios: it was a popular subject matter. Originally the sphinx was an Egyptian invention - the term comes from the Egyptian shepesankh or 'living statue', combining a human head with the body of a lion. In Egyptian times they were seen as protectors of temples and sanctuaries or as an image of royalty with the face of the Pharaoh. This Roman bronze however, is a more sensuous winged representation, seated and pushing back on her front legs with her body raised and head thrown back, her breasts are visible and her ribcage beneath. The details of her hair and wings are finely incised.

The dating of this bronze sphinx suggests that she would have been made during the rule of Augustus, whose seal ring, that he had inherited from his adoptive father, Julius Ceasar, depicted a sphinx. Augustus also employed the device of a seated sphinx on some of his coins minted circa 20 B.C.

The Death of Cleopatra and its Ancient Origins

By Adalbert von Roessler - http://www.duesseldorfer-auktionshaus.de/de/katalog/view/01_2013/600, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=26512773

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE), better known as Horace, was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus, also known as Octavian (Gaius Julius Ceasar Agustus). He lived during the change in Rome from republic to empire as well as the death of Cleopatra in 300 BCE. His writing style relied on the ancient, even to him, Greek poets who lived during the Archaic period of Greek history, while using his writing to both mock and place blame on those in power and to praise and entertain. This alacrity with tone and duality made him popular among many Romantic poets, inspiring many of them to write their own works, such as Andrew Marvell's Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland, which takes its cues from The Death of Cleopatra as it reflects on the death of Charles I.

Cleopatra was the last active ruler of Egypt, the only of the Ptolomic dynasty to bother learning the Egyptian language, among others, well read and highly intelligent, as well as a consummate states person caught in the fallout of her Father's (Ptolemy XII Auletes) fleeing from Egypt to Rome after a revolt by her sister Bernice IV. She started her reign with her sister and brother (Ptolemy XIII), but the trouble between them led to a civil war. During this time, Pompey (Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus), Roman general and statesman, fled to Egypt after a battle against Julius Caesar. Ptolemy XIII, at the advice of his eunuchs, ambushed and killed Pompey, which brought the wrath of Caesar. Caesar tried to fix the problem between the three rulers, but Potheinos, the chief eunuch advisor, mistrusted Caesar, thinking he favored Cleopatra, sent forces to besiege her and Caesar. After the siege was broken and another battle, Caesar set up Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIV as rulers. She maintained an affair with Caesar then after his assassination and assassinated Ptolemy XIV soon after. She then sided with Mark Antony and Marcus Aemeilius Lepidus in the power vacuum left behind, and embarked on an affair with Mark Antony while funding and supporting his military campaigns. When Mark Antony took Cleopatra as his wife and divorced his wife Octavia Minor, he lost the support of the Roman Senate, leading to the declaration of war against Cleopatra. Not wanting to go into exile to Rome as a treasure, a prisoner in a Roman triumphal procession, she poisoned herself rather than allow that.

Despite this, or perhaps because of this, his poem The Death of Cleopatra is ambiguous about the ruler. While he calls for revelry, 'Now let us drink; with nimble feet/Now let us strike the holy ground;', he also laments and praises her 'But Egypt knows her dream a cheat/Begot with Mareotic [referring to Lake Mariout in Northern Egypt] fumes…She homeward steers, resolved to die/preferring death to slavery/Or exile from her own domains.'
