Achievement unlocked! Remember your childhood hyperfixation on the Caesar family? No? Well that's alright because it remembers you, and NOW THE BEAST IS ONCE AGAIN AWAKE. IT DEMANDS SUSTENANCE. A THOUSAND YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND PRESTIGE DRAMAS. YOU NEED ALL THE HOTTEST GOSS FROM 2000 YEARS AGO. WHY IS JULIUS CAESAR AN EVIL DILF? WHY IS AUGUSTUS CAESAR THE MICHAEL CORLEONE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN?? HOW DID ONE FATHER-SON DUO WRECK EVERYONE'S SHIT SO HARD THAT 1/6 OF OUR MONTHS ARE STILL NAMED AFTER THEM???

I NEED TO KNOW.

#original #honestly every time I wake up an old hyperfixation it feels like an eldritch beast awakening to crawl out of the deep sea #but like in a fun way #Roman history #Augustus Caesar #Julius Caesar #Octavius Caesar #Octavian caesar #Roman Empire #Roman republic #july and august are named for Julius and Augustus Caesar #meanwhile September through December is all fucked up naming wise because we used to have 10 months #which is why the months with the names translating to 'months 7 8 9 and 10' are all off by 2 #june is for juno #january for janus and march for mars. the rest i have forgotten
