#7 Lunch Special: Rome, Sweet Rome!

from Cubicle Comrades · host CubicleComrades

Apparently, men are constantly thinking about ancient Rome. In this episode, Michelle does them one better and talks about life in the Roman Empire.   *Michelle's Corrections Corner* (bc she was tired and got some stuff wrong)  Commodus was definitely NOT a part of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. Don't know what my tired brain was thinking. He was actually part of the Nervan-Antonine Dynasty and ended the line of the 'Five Good Emperors' (and yes I don't count Lucius Verus. There. I said it!)  The Swiss Guard at the Vatican is only recruited from single Catholic Swiss men who have completed basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces. The Little Timmy I knew stood no chance to get in. Also. it's likely the gentleman from Goa was a Vatican docent of some sort. Good dude!

From his preface to this biography:"An association of some thirty years with the subject of these pages, a familiarity with his history gained by opportune meetings and conversations with comrades now living, and those since dead—who were witnesses of the events that assisted to make the individual prominent—makes me feel it a public duty to accede to the publisher’s request to compile a short, sharp, and veracio The Four Feathers A.
