Pax Romana was a misspelling in history books, with "Pox" being the correct word due to all those damn poxy romans ruining the countryside with their damn sexy aquaducts

At least that's the part of history I choose to misremember whilst doodling in my textbook

The Romans create a desert and call it peace.
