I thought it was Tiberius and Caligula who did most of the persecuting, though :u

[Orange Wizard]

Also Nero and Julian

I think Domitian too? I forget.

Julius and Augustus did basically 0, closest we get would be Titus sacking Jerusalem which pissed off the Jews but that was ages after the Caesars

[martinuzz]

All roman emperors were Caesar. The salute ave caesar persisted long after Julius croaked. The words Kaiser (de), Tsar/Czar (ru) and keizer (nl) stem directly from it.

[Orange Wizard]

They were also Augustus, but Augustus means Augustus, not every Augustus

Also Emperor from Imperator

Gaius Julius Caesar (not to be confused with Octavius Julius Caesar Augustus) was deified during the reign of his nephew/adopted son. Also Caesar was never augustus (emperor coming from imperator - general (which he totally was)), or even princeps. He was just the dictator of the SPQR (which, by the by, was an actual position regulated in their laws for times of crysis). Salute a god, all day erry day.

He denies kingship

Et tu?

He gets rekt

Sic semper tyrannis

Some random dude gets mobbed

Are these relevant to the discussion? Probably not. I like Plutarch though.

In Amsterdam, a man jumped from a window with a baby in his arms. They both died on impact. Police have evacuated a block of houses surrounding the location and a bomb squad is looking for explosives.

Why?

I'm not really sure how a murder-suicide translates into a bomb threat. Guess they're still on edge after the bombings.

[martinuzz]

No idea. Police claim it seems likely that he jumped and was not pushed. They can't confirm that he was the father of the baby or not. An arrest squad is on site, bomb squad is on site, and a police helicopter is circling the area. That's all the news my paper can give me so far.

Gay Pride starts tomorrow, so I suppose police is on edge.

Cult activity?

That's kinda what I meant yesterday when I exaggeratingly said that the terrorists have won, and destroyed our civilisation. It won't be long now until a bomb squad is called for every minor misdemeanor. (Not that I'd call this one a minor misdemeanor. Jumping from a window with a baby is a terrible act).

Cult activity?

Unlikely. Cults aren't really a thing here in the Netherlands.

[DJ]

Maybe there really was a bomb, and the guy was trying to save the baby.

The military has arrived on site now too. There's dozens of cops, soldiers, an arrest team and the bomb squad at the site. No further announcements.
