A Wild Discussion Post Appears!

Because I suppose we all need somewhere to squee.

Venting frustrations is what anon memes are made for, but keep it respectful.

You are allowed to talk about the show, the actors, their other projects, the twitter RP, the forum, and what you had for breakfast.

It really is!! :D

om you're so lucky! I went to Rhodes when I was 7 but that's the only time I've been to Greece. I'd love to go and travel through Greece and see the sites. I've been to Rome twice (once with college, once with uni) and got teased as I took notes all the time - but I wanted to know and remember as much as I could! Everyone was desperate for my notes once we'd got home, haha.

Oh, Claudius is amazing. He ended up as such an awesome emperor despite everything everyone held against him. And totally agree, a HH sketch about Hadrian would be awesome! I'm fascinated with Elagabalus too, especially since I know a couple of people who are trans and are genderqueer as it brings him into a whole new level of understanding in my mind.

Nero's horrible things he did are part of the reason I adore him...I wouldn't change him for the world. He's a dispicable character but so amazing at the same time.

Livia is amazing, as is Agrippina the younger! I've always adored them in an awestruck kind of way combined with a 'nooo!' kind of way... you know what I mean, obviously!

I did 2 years of Roman History at AS and A Level, the first year being Roman Britain and the second the Julio Claudian Emperors - I was so much better at the emperors than Roman Britain. Then when I went to uni I did Ancient History and Archaeology and basically specialised down into the early Roman Empire and late Iron Age Britain/Europe (there weren't enough modules offered for me to solely concentrate on the Romans, boo). I adore them so much, and I'm one of the only people I know who has read Suetonius and Tacitus for fun...but Suetonius especially is so entertaining!

oh, and regarding Hadrian, if you're in the UK did you go see the Hadrian exhibit at the British Museum about 4 years ago? It was amazing! I went on my own and had such a fantastic time looking at everything, and it's made me desperate to go to the Louvre to see the massive bust of Antinous again.
