7315. ALL THOSE ROMAN GUYS

ALL THOSE ROMAN GUYS
The Gemma Augustea can make me blind : 
Augustus as Jupiter, I mean, c'mon  -  Caligula, 
Nero, Claudius, Livia, Julia. The too much to 
burn crowd just gobbling up the sex. Daughters 
and brothers and sons and mothers. I don't know. 
Oh those Julio-Claudians. I dynasty to behold.
Stay happy, my friends  -  although it's all history, 
it's right here, today, just as well. Our fondness 
now, for the 'mingling of tyranny and achievement. 
sadism, and glamour. Look, look just see : 
it's all around you everywhere.
