I mean he probably didn’t have any special opinions on the Jews. He fought a war with them but that was his job. They revolted, he put them down.

IIRC the Romans were weirded out by the Jews because of their whole 'you shall have no other gods but me' thing, some considered them atheists as a result.

I mean they were seen as kind of weird and the brutality of the first two Jewish revokts didn’t help.


Granted that brutality was just as likely to be against other Jews but what they did to Cyrene was something

Since the Romans were big on syncreticism (which does not mean "all religions are true", but rather "everybody worships the same gods but calls them different names"),the other reaction was deciding the Jews were worshipping Caelus, the Sky Itself and grandfather of Jupiter.

His thumb was said to be so large that he wore his wife's bracelet as a ring for it.

According to Historia Augusta, "he was of such size, so Cordus reports, that men said he was eight foot, one finger (c. 2.4 metres) in height".

Santa Anna did not attack the Alamo to abolish slavery. If the texans had paid their taxes he had probably had left them alone with their slaves.

he looks so much like Phil Collins it's uncanny

Domitian looks like he does Christopher Walken impressions because that is obviously Kevin Pollak

And why is Jack Whitehall the roman emperor Hostilian now? Because that's clearly him and that's either very funny or somehow fitting.
