When I was in Rome with @piecesoftape this year, one of our favorite running jokes was to make silly observations of the type "to think, the Caesars themselves once..." about whatever we were doing.
"To think, the Caesars themselves once ate gelato at this very shop."
"To think, the Caesars themselves once listened to street musicians playing classic rock songs on this very bridge."
"To think, the Caesars themselves once bought dick-shaped bottles of limoncello at this very market."
