🪷 Happy birthday #Commodus, born 31 Aug 161 AD. Our fave film Commodus is #ChristopherPlummer in #falloftheromanempire. He looked so gleeful being so wicked. This sprawling Roman Forum film set was built on a sunny plain in Spain. Watch: https://youtu.be/EkSV81X-gQI 🪷

I should like to live in a #fortlet

Has anyone written about how hordes of archaeologists and other scientists are sent around the world to far-flung outposts away from the seats of empire, so they won’t be home plotting to overthrow the leadership back home?
