wish i was a late republican roman girl
i would listen to speeches by cicero at the rostra. i would read caesar's commentaries on the gallic war in the roman forum. i would fear invasions from the germanic tribes. i would marry a man with a purple bordered toga and distinguished ancestors and follow the mos maiorum. i would get proscribed and have my property confiscated and be declared an enemy of the state

Bronze head from the statue of Marcus Agrippa discovered in Susa, Italy in 1904. The inscribed pedestal most likely belonging to the statue was found nearby, confirming the identity.

starting a rumour that clodius was only that antagonistic to cicero because he wanted to fuck that old man.
When I was 35 I had a crush on a guy in my senate & didnt know how to deal w it so I wrote him a law that just said "get out of my city"

If you go into a 100-year-old house after midnight, turn out all the lights except for a candle, and say "Marcus Agrippa" three times, he'll appear in the mirror and tell you all the ways the building isn't up to code.

The most unbelievable of Agrippa's abilities is that of finding Octavian fuckable.
