Every person eventually becomes devoted to something. If not a principle, then a pleasure; if not a purpose, then a distraction.

My “The Last Supper” is “Et tu, Brute?”, in the sense that it so aptly predicts the realization that the wound you expected from your enemies came instead from someone you trusted. The words aren’t really about politics or Rome when they are on my mind, but about discovering that the person standing closest to you was already holding the knife.

If I had a denarius for every Roman civil war, I’d probably have enough to finance another Roman civil war.

You wouldn't happen to be a fallout new vegas fan would you.

I would happen to be, in fact… Your intuition serves you well!

It seems that every archaeological discovery is either “beautiful masterpiece” or “2,000-year-old dick joke.”

hi I hope you're doing well! are you okay with getting dms?

I am doing well, and I am more than okay with DMs! I like most forms of attention, in fact; my doctor said I suffer from an attention deficit.

do french people eat snails? n if so do u guys season them? i like to make friends with snails so this could make the french my enemy. are you french?

French people do eat snails, hahah; I’ve seen them in supermarkets and even sometimes served in restaurants. They are called “escargots”.

I am not French, and I’ve not eaten any snails personally, but I’ve spent a fair amount of time in France… It’s frog legs that I hear a lot about as a stereotypical aspect of French cuisine, but rarely actually see… I think I’ve seen them once in the frozen section of a large supermarket. I’ve seen pigeon meat sold more often, actually.

To teach the trumpet a lesson.

Do you have any other interests besides the things listed? Like favorite shows / etc !! ?

For shows, I would say The Boys, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Fallout, Dexter, and House.

I am… not much of a gamer; my primary hobbies are reading and working out. Of course, I like to read about philosophy and history. I also like to read about certain aspects of human biology… That said, I would like to try playing some video games as I did recently obtain a PS5… I have an interest in the Silent Hill series, the Fallout series, and the Resident Evil series.

Do you have a favorite god?

Jupiter (considered to be analogous to Zeus, but I know more about Roman mythology in this regard.)

Then perhaps Apollo.

I also have an interest in the legal, religious, and cultural classification of mortals as gods or saints throughout history across various societies and traditions.
