@mlabowicz @Green_Footballs oh man, the irony of thinking he is resulting in all his bros getting demolished by parthian shots is exquisite.

The world’s richest man, a naturalized American citizen, appears to think replacing the republic with a bloodthirsty dictatorship would be a good thing.

Been sick all week. But I managed to finish reading Mike Duncan’s Storm Before the Storm. It’s a fascinating look at the troubles of the end of the Roman Republic. The violent breakdown of the government process and rise of populist leaders and factionalism.

A good read. Highly recommended.

In 88 BCE, Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138-78 BCE) marched on Rome and entered the city's sacred inner boundary, the pomerium , bearing arms. Breaking this taboo, he sought to gain political power and control of the army of the East that had been offered to his enemy, Gaius Marius (c. 157-86 BCE). A second march occurred in 83-82 BCE when he assumed the title of dictator. worldhistory.org/article/2146/

A student favorite among the horror was an anecdote I shared from (life of sulla §13) in which a cavorting sends an amount of pepper instead of grain, which was requested by a starving Athenian population under his siege (87/6 BCE). pun not withstanding (purós, -oû “wheat” vs. pûr, purós “fire”), the cruelty of the joke amounts to “you want to eat? Here’s some treasure—eat that [knowing full well that it will burn on the way down]”

Students in my class were horrified by but they questioned whether he was really as bad as the say. I replied that the paints a specific sort of megalomania; he’s someone who thought he was smarter than everyone, who comes in a breaks something he’s “saving” all in the name of a personal quest for power. Couldn’t help but say “reminds me of someone…” (over yonder on the bird site)
