“Are you confusing Caligula with Claudius.”
No, I’m not Claudius is an idiot, so is obama. The similarities are there. A roman emperor and the ‘leader of the free world’. Which person is going to destroy the republic?
......Claudius is an idiot
I’m guessing you never saw “I, Claudius” or even read the book. If you had, you’d know that [the fictional] Cladius was quite wise, but he played the fool—which is why he survived to become Emperor. And the real one had a pretty good record of leading the Empire.
At least Claudius was a Roman who cared about keeping Rome great. In short, there’s no comparison with Obama.
That said, the parallel between Claudius is tenuous...but the parallel between Obama and Caligula is profound.
I do appreciate your drawing parallels between the present and classical Rome...congrats on that.
Keep up the good work.
And Happy Thanksgiving.
Claudius' love life was unusual for an upper-class Roman of his day, in that he was the only one out of the first 15 emperors not to take men or boys, but only women as lovers
Uh-oh... comparison might falter here...
He was not a good guy, but apparently the people around him was worse.
Claudius was not an idiot. He was actually a genius.
