Control Rome?

Can you imagine the abject terror of being surrounded by tanks, buildings exploding around you and seeing unknown attack helicopters for the first time sending down its own dragon-like flame on the city?

They’d be begging for terms of surrender.

I'm reading Claudius, the God (the sequel to Robert Graves initial publication) again.

I just got passed the part where Messalina made the arguement why monopoly was best. I'm facinated by the whole issue of why Claudius failed.

Can you imagine watching the Detroit Lions about to win the Super Bowel, and the Emperor decides to thumb down a play on the field?

That means the player at issue has to commit suicide in front of the entire audience - immediately - before the game can commence.

I’m pretty certain that people do NOT understand how far we’ve come...
