Just some late night curiosity. I was wondering which Roman republic/empire leader resembled Trump the most in terms of:

  • stupidity
  • narcissism
  • harm done to the republic/empire

Basically, someone who was hilariously stupid, narcissistic and just really harmful to the state. Byzantine emperors can be considered as well, okay?

    ...HRE, Francish Empire and the spain all claim(ed) to be the heir of rome while the roman empire (byzantium still lived on). Everyone and their mother claimed the mantle of rome. Even in modern age, Emperor Wilhelm II claimed the mantle. And that is the joke. Yeah now you can laught because a joke isnt funny when its explained. Humor is also subjective You dont have to find it funny but i do :)

    I'm too dumb to get your joke, but I support this. Post the comments you'd want to read, and find your people among those who appreciate them.

    My history is littered with unappreciated comments, but I enjoyed writing them so that was time well spent.
