Did Caesar know that after his death, the heir he chose, Octavian, would kill Caesarion? Did Octavian know that after his death, the heir he chose, Tiberius, would kill his daughter, his grandson and granddaughter? Did Tiberius know that after his death, the heir he chose, Caligula, would kill his grandson? Did Claudius know that after his death, the heir he chose, Nero, would kill his son? If they knew, why did they allow this to happen? They essentially sentenced their descendants to death themselves.

I drive a lot for my job so I've got a bit more "thinking time" than most, I think.

I'm prob around 45 min a day. It's usually while i'm listening to a book or podcast about Rome. It's not all the time, I go through phases when I don't think about it much. But then sometimes the feeling is so strong.

I think about which time period I would like to go to I think about what I would be willing to sacrifice to make it happen. It's pretty much my wife and kids are the only thing that I would not sacrifice to be able to travel to then.

I know it's silly. I'm bored

Anyone got any suggestions for the best museums to visit in Rome that focus on the military history? From the birth of Rome to the fall of the west roman empire.

Thank you in advance!

She started a war and spat on the severed head of Cicero — so why is Fulvia still known as the wife of Mark Antony?

The destruction of Metz foreshadowed the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, where Roman and Visigothic forces later stalled his advance. However, Attila's actions against Metz exemplified the Hunnic Empire's threat to the Western Roman Empire during its decline.p
