ANTONIVS II

I am a philosopher, a poet, a follower of Neoplatonism and the great Emperor Julian. May Minerva both bless and defend these works to inspire my fellow lovers of wisdom. Artwork is cited where it is available. *special thanks to tumblr* Your work gives an outlet for our work.

The bible is proof, not everything you read, is truth.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

The love of money is like falling in love with the Sun. It gives you the things that you need but it's constantly out of reach, it's dangerous, and it always leaves you for another.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

"Let it not be mistaken, one can be rich and uncivilized. For not all things royal are reserved for royalty.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

No birth, No death, No life.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

Dixi, honorifice tamen me paenitet. Dixit "paratis ad imperum estis. Non inimicorum Qui diceris. Vos sola es. Id facto. Quadem fidelis es".

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

Imperator locutus est. Habet haeredes habuerint. Habuitque consilium, dixit ego sum Unum… ad sedem imperium!  Dixit, ducam sine voto quam potentiae consulebant, in fortitudine deos, favorem populi, et haberent pacem. Progredi, implere fatum meam.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

Peace is love, love is truth

A philosophis e illuminatis est veritas

Goodbye for now

Thank you for reading!

Vale,

Antonivs-II

[antonivs-ii]

Listen Senator, I cannot be pushed by your politics. I am on the side of none but the truth. That is my faith.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

I seek peace, yes, but trust me, I know why my people are on the run. I have stepped out into the light. I cannot be pushed around by the lie anymore. I am not the best citizen in a christian country, a faith I was born into. They call me a trouble maker for thinking. They tried to silence me, keep me quiet, but I will not conform. I am a joke to the thoughtless. It does not matter because I fought for us. Know it, with my life I live, I speak! She calls me and I would live for her again. Forza Roma!

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

The art of words, the brilliant teachers, masters of thought and language. Read them and understand what you will never understand.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

O’ Christian! I am concerned for you. The after life cannot be proven but this one is hard to deny. I forgive you for your ignorance, but not for promoting a lack of thought. One book! What an absurd thing to say. I prefer to keep company that has read a library. A fan of knowledge gives the best advice.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

Historical “events” that make bold claims without reliable witnesses are invalid.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

So you have studied philosophy your entire life without finding one of your own? Did you forget to think for yourself?

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

Any bad reputation can be made good by kindness. Walk with humility and people will see that you have changed. Those who cannot are not yet wise enough to realize and ought to be ignored. Like a clear night, your heart will shine like a star, it is not your fault that some do not know their constellations.

Antonius

[antonivs-ii]

There is no point in appeasement. The truth can both inspire and infuriate.

Antonius
