#roman history#tagamemnon#roman empire#roman principate#augustus#gaius octavius#marcus agrippa#marcus vipsanius agrippa#i feel like posting this after the augustus hot or not poll is funny tbh#+was really fun to reference off their statues+written descriptions of augustus#anyway uhm how to have a homoerotic bestfriend in ancient rome. have him marry your daughter. make him live in your house. and so on.#loser fridays#my art#i'm generally not that into the emperors/empire but augustus is very interesting tbh#its something about his aura of mystery and how expertly he manipulated his own image#also some of the weird details abt him like the asparagus thing. funny. like he was a horrible person but also a freak and that makes me#like historical figures tbh.. the combination of warcrimes and strange eccentricities . slay#also the fact that he was really sickly and like constantly on the brink of dying and yet outlived agrippa and all his heirs...
