List of my absolute favourite Ancient Rome fanfic tropes:
‌Let's pick something wild Cicero accused someone of doing/Suetonius wrote and just run with it
‌Subverting the rigid Roman sex/gender norms
‌The inner dialogue expressing angst about subverting said norms
Oh my god, they were co-consuls!
‌There was only one military tent
‌Corrupting a good stoic with filthy, filthy Epicureanism
A purely innocent, platonic Greco-Roman wrestling match turns into something else
Senate shenanigans & shifting political alliances (now with extra tension!)
‌Let's reference Greek culture or straight up switch to Greek as a code for gay stuff
‌So Caesar's technically not there but you can feel his looming presence in every paragraph
Mommy issues or daddy issues? Why not both!
Bonus: the ultimate nerd/jock duo to end all nerd/jock duos

"The North Hertfordshire museum will now refer to the emperor Elagabalus with female pronouns.
Museum policy states the pronouns used in the displays will be those ‘the individual in question might have used themselves’ or whatever pronoun ‘in retrospect, is appropriate’."

Hello Aeneas didn’t found Rome, he founded the city (Lavinium) that founded the city (Alba Longa) that founded Rome (by Remus & Romulus).
If like wannabe world overlords you like to learn your mythological founding stories without having to read the actual epic poem, or you just want a fun refresher, here’s one to the tune of The Fresh Prince (because everyone knows The Fresh Prince):

There lived a certain man, a proconsul of Gaul He was lean and sharp and his head was almost bald Most people looked at him with envy and awe But to Cato, he thought himself above the law He had conquered Gaul and asked the Senate For a triumph through their town And to run for consul - he could win it But they said "Stand down."
Ra ra Julie C., Nicomedes' teenage fling There was a man who couldn't let go Ra ra Julie C., really wanted to be king It was a shame how he stole the show
He crossed the Rubicon, invaded his own home But the Pompeians had already fled from Rome With hardly any fights he captured Italy Though Spain and Greece didn't come so easily He got nearly slaughtered by Dyrrhachium And the next four years of strife But he won and had the Senate make him Dictator for life
Ra ra Julie C., Cleopatra's Roman fling There was a man who couldn't let go Ra ra Julie C., really wanted to be king It was a shame how he stole the show
But as his bogus elections and his hunger for power Became known to more and more people The conspiracy to assassinate This man became bigger and bigger
"This Caesar's gotta go," declared his enemies But a new war loomed and he'd soon go overseas No doubt this dictator was difficult to harm And within Rome's walls, they couldn't carry arms Then they thought, a meeting of the Senate Fit just right, for on the Ides He would be alone for just a minute And Caesar would die
Ra ra Julie C., every Roman woman's fling They had him cornered, took out their knives Ra ra Julie C., really wanted to be king He grabbed a pen and fought for his life Ra ra Julie C., emperor foreshadowing They didn't quit, they wanted his head Ra ra Julie C., Brutus jabbed his ding-a-ling And so they stabbed him till he was dead
Oh, those Romans…
