Can we talk about Verginius?
Not only did he persuade his slaves to not kill him for the money promised by the Triumvirs, so that they helped him get to Sicily (to Sextus), he also convinced the soldiers who were afther him, to follow him to Sicily to get money in a more honest way than killing a man. (yes ofc. he bribed them.)
The soldiers, afther getting payed, stayed with him in Sicily.
(App. 4.48)

I didnt get the Odazai twitter joke?
Pffttt then maybe it wasn't a funny joke. What I was trying to say is that as far as I myself could see over there it's socially accepted to harass people over ships, and odazai is one of the bsd ships that's picked on the most for some known unknown reason, so you know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#Some time ago I stumbled across some crazy yet hilarious drama over there. People were spreading literal proscription lists not even of–#oda/zai pages themselves but OF PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THOSE PAGES#And those lists were just?? The “followed by peaople you follow” list???? Like LMAO what were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament#Like the drama i witnessed that day was just.#Why are you as a oda/zai hater spending so much time looking for oda/zai pages. Do you have anything to share with the class lol#people asks me stuff

Octavian and Marcus Antonius afther they drafted the first proscription list, 43 B.C. colorized

[Image: two men in suits, each with a cigarette in their mouth, leaning in like they’re about to kiss — but the cigarettes meet instead. Caption: “Wahre Freundschaft gibt es nur unter Männern.”]
Ah yes, nothing says true friendship like casually burning down the Roman Republic — one puff at a time.
Octavian and Antony lighting up like, “Hey bro, let’s kill 300 senators (and ~2000 equites) and ride this state-sanctioned bromance into absolute power.” That’s not a kiss — that’s the Republic smoldering between their lips.

Its kinda like hm why do all the emperors that have been framed as depraved madmen are also the ones that more explicitedly descarded the senate? And i am not denying that they (caligula, domitian, nero etc) werent good rulers, or weren't power hungry, or even the fact that yeah the more self centered you are the more you ignore councils decision to rule on your own, but also when you think about the roman historiographs, and how they all belonged to senatorial classes, and how the senate was rightfully seething at its power and worth being taken away of course the historiographs would paint these emperors in the worst light ever (especially facturing the damnatio memoriae and the wanting to appease to the new regime)
#its kinda like yeah what nero did to cremutius cordus and also to the ones involved in the pisonian conjure was bad#but didn't august do the same with the proscription lists? (down to aquiring the assassinated's properties?)#roman historiography is interesting in the way of it being a rather blatant showing of history being written by the victors

remember your morality laws well i have broken sooo many of them and i would like a Pardon :3 (I may or may not have fucked your... im not finishing that sentence)
that sentence had better not end with “daughter”.
….
……………….
even if it does not, the answer is no.
#proscription list#not that any other answer would be particularly welcome either#“wife” “best friend” and “other best friend” are almost to be expected at this point#“uncle” or “archrival” would be a surprise#not a welcome one but a surprise#augustus#octavian augustus#petitions#roman history#roman empire#ancient rome

i think my toxic trait is the fact that i am actually am augustus fan first and foremost and the only reason i have this url is because nobody else did and i thought the opportunity was too good to pass up
#like yeah i’ve read bits of de bello gallico. yeah i know that bald man#but like . isn’t augustus so much more pookie meowmeow#he even did proscriptions. caesar could never#of course i could technically brand this into an augustus blog since you know#same name#but that would be a disservice to the imperator augustus divi filius#ruri’s rome tag#ruri’s caesar tag

Why was Antony loved by Romans even after the proscriptions?
Cassius Dio, writing more than two and a half centuries after Antony's death, describes Antony as being the most ruthless of the three Triumvirs at the time of the proscriptions.

So does Velleius, but it was this historian's policy to show Augustus, in whose circle he moved, in the best light, and to malign Antony; and therefore his evidence is not to be accepted. He accused Antony, in any case, chiefly of having shut for ever Cicero's "divine lips"; but the Philippics were not divine they were devilish.
But Suetonius who was separated from the period by over a hundred year less than this, and is the better authority, is emphatic, as has already been said, that Octavian was the only one of the three who showed no wish to bring the massacre to an end. Antony, in fact, appears to have been the first to feel shame for his atrocious behaviour; and at any rate there can be no doubt that he alone retained his popularity with Rome's democracy, whereas Octavian was detested.
