PORTUS was a typo but I think it's funny
PORTUS is no different than these guys. He wears a suit, but this is him. No one has ever been with him for him. He's rich. No one likes him. He's a loser. He pays or rapes women because no one would choose to be near him. He lost money owning a casino. How? Loser.

The whopper that stopped me cold was his idea that Roman grain shipments came ashore at Puteoli and moved by cart until the emperors built a new harbor (he says Ostia but he's thinking Portus) because he has no idea Ostia Antica existed.

A relief sculpture of a blacksmith at work in his workshop. He’s surrounded by the tools of his trade. It was found in Tomb 29 at the Necropolis of Portus on the Isola Sacra. AD 160-180.
