Ancient Romans’ Ideal Dates

Mark Antony: A day at the Circus Maximus, followed by bathhouse sex. 

Julius Caesar: A private tour of the new arena he sponsored, then a discreet dinner at his client’s house. 

Cassius: Dinner at a restaurant he picked at the last minute. 

Brutus: A romantic candlelit dinner at his house. 

LOL.

The Romans When They're Drunk

Caesar: He doesn't get drunk, and no one encourages him to. They don't know what he's like drunk, and they don't want to know

Antony: Is a really happy drunk. Cuddles with everyone and impulsively buys all kinds of nonsense. When he wakes up in the morning he's surrounded by his drunk purchases but has no idea who drained his bank account.

Brutus: Sobs hysterically, an absolute wreck. Tells you his whole life story and you'll find him throwing up in the bathroom later, Cassius holding his hair back while he has to listen to him cry about his past for the millionth time.

Octavian: Starts giving speeches to everyone while standing on the table. He thinks they're motivational, but they're complete gibberish.

Cassius: A bold, angry drunk. Will fight anyone and can make literally anything into a weapon.

Pompey: Calls everybody beautiful and suddenly is under the impression that he can sing and dance.

Unconventional Interrogation Technique

Captured Exchange Thug: I’ll never talk!

The Exile: *sharpens knife* We have ways of making people talk.

The Exile: *cuts pieces of cake and shares a slice with Atton*

Captured Exchange Thug: Can I have some?

The Exile: Cake is for talkers.

That went a direction I didn't anticipate.

This is so accurate.

We’re all pieces on a game board, Dr. March, and some of us are more powerful than others. You. Me. Her. We’re the ones the gods want. We’re the ones they’re fighting over.” “And I suppose you consider yourself the king on this board?” “You must not have played chess in a while. The king is the weakest piece in the game.” He gave Justin a level look. “The queen’s the strongest.”

Historic Sit In

Just found out today that one of the first sit-ins in America happened at the Alexandria Library in 1939. This was started by a black lawyer named Samuel Wilbert Tucker, and while he lost the case, Tucker continued to fight back against segregation and was part of the NAACP.

I’ve been here before, and it was amazing. There’s also the remains of an Ancient Roman bath house and the foundation of the barracks that would have housed the soldiers.
