When I was already into Roman history and the Crusades and now I find myself getting into WW2 as well...

I swear I'm not a white supremacist, they're just really fascinating eras!

If anything, the racists don't actually know or appreciate the real eras in question and their complexities, they only idolize the fake macho versions of these periods.

Looking up the Cato family on Wikipedia and

why did Romans do this. How does anyone tell each other apart. Cato the Younger my shapely ass, more like Marcus Porcius Cato friggin Septimus, learn some fucking originality my dudes!!

I think there needs to be a show about Sulla’s Civil War a la HBO Rome (perhaps a direct prequel?), and the marketing is House of the Dragon inspired (Team Green/Team Black = Sulla, Cinna/Marius) but because of the subject matter is in supremely bad taste. And there would be tumblr discourse about it.

Recently I've been seeing a lot of slander against the great Gaius Julius Caesar which has to stop. No, Caesar was NOT a bottom, any time he supposedly "bottomed" was to save the Republic and anyone who says otherwise should be strapped to a cross.... What do you mean I'm "coping hard"?

Pompeiians in the aftermath of the siege of 89 BCE: This is the worst possible thing that could ever happen to our city!

like god intended

Excuse you that'll be like mos maiorum and the proper respect for the ancestral ways intended, thankyouverymuch. We'll have none of these foreign 'gods' coming along and telling us how to do things in this imperial city, thank you!

For those who have overactive guilt complexes like me…

tfw when you try to find modern recreations of ancient roman clothing and get only halloween costumes, frat parties, and my hero academia

The real lesson from the Ides of March is that political assassinations are not a good way to re-establish civil liberties in a failing democracy and will instead be used as a pretext to consolidate authoritarian control over society.
