Saw this one on reddit, had a chuckle. So which emperors you would't mind, and which ones you'd run away?!
I saw that as well. I'm not saying I googled trying to find it after that...I only found a couple of throw pillows with Marcus Aurelius on them
Well I am sure Elagabalus would be a circus in the sack, but I prefer women so I would choose: Orbiana (225 - 227 A.D.) AR Denarius O: SALL BARBIA ORBIANA AVG, draped bust right. R: CONCORDIA AVGG,Concordia seated left holding double cornucopia and patera. Rome 19mm 3.8g RIC IV 319, RSC III 1, BMCRE VI 287, SRCV II 8191
... Dio recounts an exchange between Elagabalus and the well-endowed Aurelius Zoticus: when Zoticus addressed the emperor as 'my lord,' Elagabalus responded, 'Don't call me lord, I am a lady.'
I wouldn't sleep with anyone...but I wouldn't mind a conversation on philosophy with Julian... "Once when in the darkness of night he was intent upon the lofty thought of some philosopher, he saw somewhat dimly, as he admitted to his intimates, that form of the protecting deity of the state which he had seen in Gaul when he was rising to Augustan dignity, but now with veil over both head and horn of plenty, sorrowfully passing out through the curtains of his tent. And although for a moment he remained sunk in stupefaction, yet rising above all fear, he commended his future fate to the decrees of heaven, and now fully awake, the night being now far advanced, he left his bed, which was spread on the ground, and prayed to the gods with rites designed to avert their displeasure. Then he thought he saw a blazing torch of fire, like a falling star, which furrowed part of the air and disappeared. And he was filled with fear lest the threatening star of Mars had thus visibly shown itself." Ammianus, Book XXV, section II
Who has that throw/blanket? And for how much? Looks fascinating, but I'd need a contact to follow up on that fascination.
