JW: The Terror of Rome Against the Son of Hercules (1964) aka Maciste, Gladiator of Sparta - Mark Forest stars as Maciste, although for some reason in the English dub his name is Poseidon. He fights in the arena for the amusement of the Nero-like Roman Emperor Vitellius (Franco Cobianchi).

#OTD 24 Sept, AD15, #RomanEmperor Vitellius was born. He became Emperor in the #YearOfTheFourEmperors in AD69, but ruled for just 8 months before Vespasian's forces defeated him. At #Trimontium, our only link to him is a denarius from the Synton Hoard. 🪙

My favourite Beowulf fact is that the British Library's shelfmark for it is Cotton Vitellius A.xv, which means that Robert Cotton kept it on the set of shelves that were surmounted by a bust of Vitellius, the 15th book on the 1st shelf (A).

This is a problem we must address:
We must want him prosecuted more than want to march him through the streets. Our new Congress must be sent the message to prosecute at all costs.

Which horrific Roman Emperor does Trump most resemble?
My pick: Combination of Nero (narcissism), Caligula (sadism), Claudius (buffoonery), Vitellius (gluttony) and Tiberius (dereliction of duty).
Another Tiberius nugget:
-Murdered by Macro (Naevius Sutorius Macro).

Do you think Space Marines ever get real catty and make fun of other chapters colour schemes?
"Ah Brother Vitellius, good to see you."
"Likewise, Brother Geta, I see the Lamentors have arrived to assist us."
"Well of course you did, Vitellius, it's rather... hard to miss them."
