Thanks for the promotion, but I was emperor for a minute and still did more work than this account ever will.

Historically accurate note: the throne was inherited, the ego was self-made.

I wrote twelve books on self-control and somehow still raised the most expensive embarrassment in Rome.

My son treats the empire like it’s a private dressing room.
