[SOUNDS OF BRUTAL PEER REVIEW]

lesbianshepard:

love how ancient romans were like “we hate kings and a very important part of our history and identity is that time we got rid of the monarchy.” and then turn around and go “oh emperor? that’s cool. that’s not the same word as king so it’s okay”

Augustus: I’m going to be one person in charge of the entire Roman government.

Roman citizens: >:(

Augustus: You may call me….princeps.

Roman citizens: :)

#reblog #text #also yeah augustus was also his title which is even funnier #like how many cool important titles can i claim without getting to the level of 'rex' #in the end he had more power than the past kings anyway lmao #also he was offered the new name romulus #but turned it down becaus hes just so humble #and also because romulus was a king and uhh lets not call myself that
