ROMAN IMPERATORII,
In the last
half of the last century BC Rome fell completely into the hands of successive
lots of big cheeses who fought amongst themselves to become top dog in
what looked to them like an emerging monarchy of sorts. The birth
of the Roman Empire was thus something of a redo of the Book of Samuel
in the Bible, where the people wanted a king, God advised against it, the
people insisted, God told them "OK, but don't tell me I didn't warn you."

Antonius hung with Cleopatra,
who made a baby, then he sailed away to his doom. Octavian, the underappreciated
one, became Augustus, the first "emperor."
