Thread 211786997

What would an average Roman citizen in 100 AD say if you told him this is what future Roman emperors will look like in thousand years?

>>211786997 (OP)
" Rome will never have kings or emperors, fuck off back to your faggy/barbarous country gaylic retard/gayreek"

>>211786997 (OP)
Nikephoros II Phokas Was from the 10th century not 100 AD

>>211787039
100 AD Rome had emperors, though

>>211787072
... can you people read?

>>211787075
The principate isn't rly an official emperor polebro, more of a lifelong non official consul, the tittle of imperator or baesilius will become a thing later

>>211787094
Aye, I'm mearly trying to portray a pleb's way of thinking via modern day american mannerisms

>>211786997 (OP)
>>211787072
I'm willing to bet that the reason as to why the Byzantines have so little representation in media compared to the Roman empire is at least 70% due to their aesthetic being so shit.

>>211787128
Luke's Gospel from 1AD calls Augustus "a caesar" and treats him as a ruler, so they already treated them like emperors back then.

>>211787272
Ceaser isn't emperor tho, Octavian didn't rule from a throne nor did they wear a crown

>>211787128
>>211787272
Also, the case of Pharisees trying to bait Jesus into undermining Tiberius' rule, as well as Jesus' trial (“We have no king but Caesar").

>>211787387
See >>211787411
They were kings in all but name, and even plebs knew this.

>>211787232
Shit taste.

They would see some similarities but in the end Byzantium is a foreign place to 1-2nd century Rome. If Diocletian saw the 7th century he would probably recognise most of what was going on but if he saw the 9th he wouldn't see much outside of law and the Imperial court ceremony as familiar since Diocletian is the earliest Emperor they have these things from.
>>211787128
Appian writing in the 140-150's calls Rome a monarchy without any reservations, with Augustus as the first. They were over the totally-not-a-monarchy phase of Augustus, even in 69AD there were calls for the restoration of the Republic after the death of Nero. They had a pretty clear sense that the Roman Emperor was a monarch.

>>211787956
Then it's my bad, I simply assumed the principate period had a different cultural interpretation at the time

funny seeing slavs larp as east meds

>>211787232
their aesthetics were top tier albeit way too zesty and exotic for normies who associate rome and ancient greece with being hypermasculine despite all the gay sex

"How did the scythians conquer Rome?"

Literally what made him mad this time?

>>211791544
Rome is haram

>>211786997 (OP)
I don't understand why people consider the Romans of the late imperial era or byzantine era any less Roman than the Romans of the early imperial era.
People from the republic would think the early imperial era has nothing to do with their own era.

Why is the early imperial era seen as the true roman era? Other eras were just as roman but in their own way. If what you mean by "roman" is "early imperial Rome" then just say "early imperial rome"

>>211787128
The technicality didn't fool anyone even in ancient rome, please don't act as dense as you are.

>>211791993
? Early imperial era was still pagan, why would republicans feel different

>>211787232
Agreed

I think they would say:

>What changed?
Central Italian society in the Middle and Late Republic was structured differently from the Imperial period. Notably the mass conscription and mobilisation of men, with some 20% of them at any given time serving in the military. By the 2nd century this culture was long dead and Italy was largely demilitarised and conscription ended in the Augustan period, with the mass mobilisation ending in in the mid 1st century. The political system was different, with obviously the empire being an absolute monarchy with elections outside of Rome and local cities being defunct for any position of real power, all instead being appointee's.
