Well two of them look reasonably pleased with the idea......

Being an Emperor would trump Trump being only a President... Maybe the the etymological root of 'trample' is actually 'trump'. As in the following. "The Emperor exhorted the populace to 'trumple' over the Senate."

Isn't the etymology of trump, 'trump'? As in, make a loud noise that smells really bad...

Like Trump?

Freeman already been finding varieties ?

This card I picked up in an auction lot the other day - rather tickled me: It occurred to me later that: It would have seemed funny at the time because the thought that the vicar might have had any nefarious purpose would have been unthinkable and In the modern day his attentions would more likely have been aimed at the young men of the parish!

Probably declared their imperium stolen from them and got the mob to march on the Senate building!!

Also interesting is that he was succeeded by Caracalla and Geta - brothers. They couldn't stand their father's advisors, so had them all beheaded. A recent excavation in York discovered a Roman cemetery with about 30 bodies buried with their heads between their knees - presumed to be Septimus Severus's advisors. Geta didn't last long - murdered probably on the orders of his brother. Caracalla only made it another 5 years before too was murdered. Who would be emperor in those days!

Septimus severus is an interesting emperor he died in York UK after catching an unknown infection (probably a flu bug ) and leading a battle against the scots Funny enough not many emperors put the uk on their bucket list after this and most remained stuck on the palitine hill with its mod cons and relative safety.

It’s going to be difficult to stop people from taking cow dewormer when a Covid variant named “Mu” hits.

I got PLNNY of nothing......

In for a PLNNY in for a pound
