Explanation: The bust at center is the Emperor Hadrian, traditionally counted as one of the ‘Five Good Emperors’. As the chart shows, you can place his activities as Emperor as quite… varied.
I must note that his favorite teenage sexual partner was not a slave, but a free provincial. Not that it makes any less concerning by modern standards that a 40+ year old man is fucking a 13-17 year old boy (accounts on when they met vary, but tend towards 15-17 and lasted until he died at the age of 19 or 20).
Yes, I still like Funny Colored Square Memes
Is this the same Hadrian who built a wall to keep people from going to Scotland?
The very same! Though it was the other way around - he wanted to keep the proto-Scots out.
That’s what he told everyone, but in reality he was just desperately trying to stem the tide of defecting legionaries after they got a taste for our phenomenal… uhh… oatcakes, maybe?
“The Caledonii fry a bar of the god of war Himself in animal fat, and then EAT it?! They are truly a powerful people! We must make pilgrimage there and taste of this divinity!”
It was to keep the twinks in
Ah yes, Londinium was full of twinks.
“Looking after” (read “fucking”) the “wellbeing” (read “Buttholes”) of the “plebs” (read “twinks”)
Pretty standup guy!
