Constantinople was so bussin’ that even loser crusaders got jealous.
C’mon they had chariot racing sport teams, and people would riot when their team lost - the Nike riots killing a fuckton of people. Like modern soccer fans, they took athletics very seriously!

It's an empire, Michael. How long could it be dead for? Several years?

After 5 years of on-and-off listening, today I finally finished The History of Rome podcast. So I'm all for as many Roman shitposts as possible.

Rome never fell, it went underground enrolled some gospel writers, and rules from the shadows of mount Olympus.

Rome didn’t fall until 1453. Let’s be real - Justinian and Theodora >>>> like Caracalla.
Theodora was such a baddie that even while Precopius was trying to cancel he was clearly gooning.
If you don’t look at an icon and feel a little twinge of desire to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, what are you?
Constantinople was so bussin’ that even loser crusaders got jealous.

It’s time to bring the true Roman Empire back!

I wonder what Wittgenstein or Sapir and Whorf would make of the fact that Latin had a whole verb for “face fucking.”

I like to think the term casual sex stands in opposition to competitive sex that I assume Roman's had somewhere sometime...
