Who is your Favourite Roman Emperor?

well arent i a foo

 

Marcus Aurelius

 

Yes. Yes it is. I was thinking about being Theodora for Halloween last year. Maybe if I ever have a daughter I will name her Theodora. Her middle name would probably be Catherine, for Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights (though that is slightly too common to arouse questioning as to why I've named her that, which is the main point of the name anyhow since it in itself is nothing spectacular).

If I ever have a son, maybe I'll make his middle name Heathcliff. But I wouldn't want him to grow up to hang dogs and dig up dead bodies and sleep with them.

Maybe I'd even name him Justinian, and then he'd get a wife to boss him around and convince him not to flee his empire.

 

Gludius Maximus

 

Augustus, octavius caesar

 

"eenie-meanie minie-moe"...

 

Erol Flynn the magical serpant boy!

 

Judge Judy

 

Erol flynn backed into a dimmer pack w\ a sword on his belt while filming some variation of robin hood... he fried his ass, he also impaled himself twice

 

Nero! Nero! i think its fascinating a person can do such a bad thing ... no conscience. Ive been doing some research about his brother Britannicus and im writing about them, so ... maybe bad people turn me on or so im a naughty girl

 

As a classics major, some of the things in this thread make me cringe. Study your history, people!

 

Dude, where's Tiberius?!

 

i voted for augustus

 

Caligula was the best roman emperor, he tried turning his horse into a senator

 

that was the oddest question i've ever heard

 

I can�t imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low.
I don�t understand all the things you've seen,
but I�m slipping in between you and your big dreams,
it's always you in my big dreams,
and you tell me that it's over,
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers and your restless and I�m naked,
you have to get out you cant stand to see me shaking,
no could you let me go? I didn�t think so,
and you don�t want to be here in the future,
so you say the present just a pleasant interruption to the past
and you don�t want to look much closer cause your afraid to find out all this hope
you extend into the sky,
by now I crash
and it did because of me,
and then you bring me home,
afraid to find out that you're alone,
and im sleeping in your living room,
but we don�t have much room to live
and I had these dreams that I may learn to play guitar
maybe cross the country become a rock star
and there was hope in me that I could take you there,
but damn your so young and I don�t think I care,
and if I hurt you then im sorry
please don�t think that this was easy,
and then you bring me home
we both know what its like to be alone and
I�m dreaming in your living room,
but we don�t have much room to love
and Constantine is walking down the stairs,
doesn�t she look good standing in her underwear,
I was thinking and I was thinking
we've been drinking and it doesn�t get me anywhere,
my Constantine came walking down the stairs,
and all I can do is touch her long blonde hair, and
I�ve been thinking it hurts me thinking
that these nights when we�ve been drinking never got us anywhere no no..
It�s because I can spell confusion with a K and I can like it,
its to dying in another�s' arm and why I had to try it,
it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car,
when the first star you see may not be a star,
I�m not your star,
isn�t that what you said what you thought this song meant,
and if this is what it takes just to lie in my mistakes
and live with what I did to you and all the things I�ve put your through,
I always catch the clock its 11:11
and now you want to talk,
its not hard to dream you�ll always be my Constantine...
my Constantine,
they�ll never hurt you like I do,
no they�ll never hurt you like I do,
no no no no no no no no,
this is to a girl who got into my head with all these pretty things she did,
hey you know you keep me up in bed,
it's to a girl who got into my head with all these fucked up things I did ,
hey maybe baby you could keep me up in bed,
my Constantine,
you spin around me like a dream we played out on this moving screen
and I said did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you, did you know I miss you?
then you bring me home, and
you go to sleep
and this time not alone,
no no,
and you kiss me in your living room,
and you know you miss me in your living room,
cause these nights I think maybe that I miss you in my living room,
we don�t have much room
I said does anybody need that room?
Cause we all need a little more room to love..
My Constantine
