Reading Service Model after reading Murderbot is quite the mental whiplash (so far, at least).

The hairy fifth to enslave the State, To enslave the State, though against his will, Shall be that idiot whom all despised. He shall have hair in a generous mop. He shall give Rome water and winter bread And die at the hand of his wife, no wife, To the gain of his son, no son.

To die, that's nothing. I would have given my life for you and Rome a thousand times over. But to die like a dog...

On 24 September 15 AD, Aulus Vitellius, one of the emperors from 69 AD (the year of 4 Emperors) was born. Here are some facts about Vitellius:

When his parents saw his horoscope, they were so horrified they tried to keep him from governing a province or commanding an army.

In his youth, he was a guest of Emperor Tiberius on Capri and the most malicious rumors say that he was one of the emperor's tiddlers - boys trained to sexually please him - which in turn won political advancement to Aulus's father Lucius.

Galba named Vitellius commander of the Rhine legions because he believed he was too lazy and incompetent to lead a rebellion and declare himself emperor.

He was the only one who didn't take the name Caesar as part of his regnal name, choosing Germanicus instead.

He allegedly feasted four times a day. Extravagant dishes like pheasant brains and flamingo tongues were served at these feasts.

When his army was defeated by Vespasian's legions, he tried to abdicate but his supporters wouldn't let him.

After his final defeat, he tried to hide but was dragged by an angry jeering mob to Gemonian stairs and savagely killed. His head was then paraded through the streets of Rome and his body was thrown into the Tiber.

I, Claudius in the House of Cards style where Claudius frequently breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience but instead of discussing the political situation he just gives out random facts about Etruscans.

“If you only knew,” he said softly, perhaps speaking to the Jedi Masters, or perhaps to himself, or perhaps to the scarlet blade lifted now as though in mocking salute, “how long I have been waiting for this…”
