Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.

By the way, I love Roman history. Can't get enough of those guys. They wrote everything down and it's so entertaining to read about their trials and antics. Some of the water engineering is very exciting. Once might feel a sliver of happiness installing hypocausts in the bath houses, writing plays or doing math puzzles... but what are the odds of that? No, you'd end up in the damn army or as a stressed out house servant or farmer.

And that's assuming that you were one of the lucky 30% who survived to puberty, because even very wealthy families could expect most of their children to die.
My standard answer to the clowns who ask "what I would have been" in the past is "dead at 14, if not earlier".
