I thought this was slightly funny.

Mark Zuckerberg is known these days for wearing t-shirts with Latin phrases on them, especially ones where he compares himself to Julius Caesar.

Bluesky made a shirt in the same style, but theirs says “a world without Caesars” in Latin.

    Agreed. But if you’re going to fixate on one era, you could do a lot worse than Roman history.

    Other cool eras to fixate on:

    • Joseon Dynasty and Sejong the Great in Korea
    • Chola Empire - naval empire before navies were really a thing
    • Ethiopian Empire - somehow survived with strong empire neighbors

    There’s a lot of really cool history, Roman history is extra cool though since you can see so much of it in Europe.

      You can also hear it every day if you’re an English speaker. The Roman conquest of England greatly affected the English language.
