Once an OG, always an OG.
You simply cannot go back in time and create a wristwatch that will be put on the wrists of legends like Rolex did You can’t go back in time and create historical NFTs pre 2021 The supply is now fixed and will only get rarer as collectors lock them down in long term collections I have traded art and collectibles for over 30 years and guarantee this is how it pans out for NFTs Punks CryptoSkulls Curio Cards Rare Pepe There are other and it’s these I’d look at for long term stability

NFT X has become an echo chamber the size of a thimble and AI has eviscerated the creative economy. Just remember, your RomanPunks (et al) were minted in MMXXI and history can never take that from us. #altpunks #cryptopunks

His excess was INXS.
Talking of Elagabalus, emperor Severus Alexander's cousin and predecessor, who reigned from AD 218 to 222, here's his most famous bust currently on display in the Hall of the Emperors, part of the Capitoline Museums. 📸 by me.

Tiberius, he lived his best life.
Today 37AD Tiberius Died. Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals; his conquest of Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and temporarily, parts of Germania, laid the foundations for the northern frontier.

Hannibal looks like how we want him to look.
Does anyone in the entire Anglosphere know what a North African looks like?

He was fiddlin' with his upright organ.
Today 51AD Nero, later to become Roman Emperor, is given the title princeps iuventutis (head of the youth). He is infamously known as the Emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned" and as an early persecutor of Christians.

Vespasian. He loved the Circus so much he built a colosseum. He also taxed piss to pay for it. What a clown.
In AD 69, Rome tore itself apart. Three emperors, Galba, Otho and Vitellius, rose and quickly fell. Then came the 4th emperor of 69 AD. Vespasian. A soldier from the provinces who restored stability, rebuilt Rome’s finances, and ended the chaos. By the time he died in AD 79, Romans had a simple way to measure his success: Since Augustus, no emperor had ruled better. From civil war to Rome’s second-greatest emperor in a single decade. Pretty impressive🏛️

The Emperor of Peace, dude.
The award for Rome's most underrated Emperor goes to.... Antoninus Pius 🥇 Do you agree?
