"I think it was the syphilis that made the Roman emperors psychopaths."

Interesting. I had never given that a thought. Extremely likely indeed. That suddenly explains a lot!

Thank you.

No, syphilis is native to the America's, and was unknown in Europe before Columbus and the Spanish accidentally 'discovered' it.

I think the other poster was being humorous.
