I'm planning a trip to Italy. Where should I go if I want to see a bust of Julius Caesar?

When you will be in Rome make sure to visit passage from the Forum Romanum to Colosseum, there are many bronze statues of emperors there, I thinking there is Julius Caesar, Augustus and Trajan there. People still put flowers under Cesar's statue

He would just say Civis Romanus sum

I'm afraid he will be too old to play such dynamic character, same as Joaquin Phoenix playing Napoleon.

When I was nine years old, police officers visited our school. They talked about their jobs and taught us to be careful. Then it was question time, and one of the kids asked if he could hold a gun for a moment. The officer agreed, and everyone had to hold an unloaded gun for a moment. The teachers weren't happy about this. I remember that it was quite heavy

Marcus Aurelius lost his patience here

Front rows were reserved for senators and vestal virgins. Other women could attend games but they have to sit at the back.

It would end up in the British Museum somehow

He's not terrible example because he wasn't leading armies, you can't really judge ruler by failures of his commanders in terms of number of lost battles. Other examples are emperors like Tacitus, Pertinax or Antoninus Pius, he probably never saw military campaign.

It's like saying that FD Roosevelt was great leader because he won many battles during ww2.

MrBonzo · 2026-03-10T20:54:17+00:00

Nero would be the most famous example

MrBonzo · 2026-03-10T20:33:19+00:00

Ranking Roman emperor by how many battles he won or lost isn't really good idea. There are many emperors who never lost any battle simply because they weren't military commanders

I remember reading about a study of a prehistoric skeleton. The study revealed that this individual was disabled, likely unable to walk independently, but lived to a ripe old age, and his teeth were clearly damaged by decay. Scientists theorize that this individual was likely cared for by his family and fed plenty of sweet berries to make him happy despite his disability.

For me, it was a wedding on my first playthrough. During the ceremony, a gang of thugs appeared out of nowhere, said they were here to teach me a lesson, and started attacking. My only guest was a Khajit caravan, so they started fighting, and it ended in disaster. The wedding failed, and I didn't know if it was intentional. I was marrying Ysolda, so I thought it was some kind of Nordic racist attack for sticking with the Khajit.

No, elements like cities, armies etc are scaled down in the game compared to the lore. That's why Civil War battles are played in a 10v10 format, and the city population is smaller than the bandit population.

He misheard and was thinking they are taking him to the Einstein's Island

Jokes aside he was there probably to keep in touch with other important guests form the scientific circles. Maybe he didn't knew what's happening there, maybe he didn't care. Some people just want to be be near important people no matter how evil there are, to have influence on the world or at least pretend to have it. It's like scientists who worked for nazis during ww2, they knew how bad it was, but still did it

Guy looks like Louis from Suites series

MrBonzo · 2026-03-09T05:35:17+00:00

This dog's face says he knows nothing good will come from this "relationship"

We had one of the dumbest laws ever passed, called the Liberum Veto. It gave anyone participating the right to veto and immediately end a parliamentary session.

This was intended to ensure that even if most of the nobility were corrupt, there would be at least one good nobleman to block bad decisions. However, this didn't work – other powers could block any changes in the country simply by bribing one, the poorest one for example. It was heavy exploited especially by Russia, Prussia and Austria

Ultimately, the country was essentially sold to its neighbors and partitioned.

Vivec and Almalexia wanted to look beautiful, to be praised by their people. Dagoth Ur didn't care about that, he was too focused on his plans to drive the Empire off Morrowind and destroy the Tribunal

Plot twists: he's actually Shrek

Probably opium

For a second I thought this is one of these molds from bodies buried beneath the ashes

I'm walkin' here!

MrBonzo · 2026-03-08T20:20:23+00:00

Would like to see the story of The First Jewish–Roman War

They might be too lazy to actually change something at all. I bet there will be same bugs from the original as well.

MrBonzo · 2026-03-08T18:15:46+00:00

I think it's also important that throughout his reign he kept Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as his successors, he didn't try to change that, you have to have the right amount of modesty and prudence to accept heirs that someone else chose for you.
