Queens. Queens. Strip them naked as any other woman, they are no longer queens. It is also difficult to tell the rank of a naked general. Generals without armies are naked indeed.

“At night, when he liked to wander about the city, stand by the doors or windows of ordinary citizens’ houses, and make fun of the people inside, she would dress up as a maidservant and play her part in any mad prank that came into Antony’s head, for it was his custom to go out disguised as a slave. On these occasions he was always received with torrents of abuse, and sometimes even found himself beaten up before he returned to the palace, although most people guessed who he was. The fact was that the Alexandrians had a weakness for his buffoonery and enjoyed taking part in these amusements in their elegant and cultivated way. They liked him personally, and used to say that Antony put on his tragic mask for the Romans, but kept the comic one for them.”

- Plutarch, trans. Ian Scott-Kilvert
