Who is your Favourite Roman Emperor?

no, what i really mean is like, many of our parents arent from the same backrground [ im speaking mainly of us in the "new world"] so like my parents for exaplme wouldnt have gotten together...for some of us, there would have been people similar to us possibly, but the world would be completly different if christianity had not strched as far as it did through Constatine

 

Very true.
Your previous statement threw me for a loop.
Thanks for clarifying.

 

I voted Marcus Aurelius because he was a man of wisdom.

 

true. But Claudius was a good emperor nonetheless.

 

I think Christianity contributed to the demise of the Roman Empire.

 

well... obviously. Hahahaa... I used to regard Constantine as my greatest hero. Seriously.

 

Roman philosophies, such as, Stocism and Epicureanism are infintely better than Christianity.

 

but, I admire Jesus too, and I think Christianity should have been accepted, but without the dismissal of everything else as pagan and worthless.

 

You used to be Catholic. So, that is no surprise

 

well in Christains defense, the dismissal of paganism started with Judeaism, as well as the Zoroastian faith...the two oldest monotheistic religions, well there eas that Pharoh who oulawed all other Gods cept for one, but yeah...

 

well, I mean a lot of good philosophy was dismissed by the Christian, simply because, "it was unchristian"

 

yeah, im not gonna disagree with that - and all of the record at the library of Alexandria in Greece was burned during either the Crusades or was it an emperor...cant remember

 

it was burnt by Julius Caesar, but the Christians also burnt many ancient texts.

 

No nero.. because he is one of the Worst Emperor. No Caesar because he was not even an emperor.

 

I say Constantine simply because since he was all scared and indecisive, Theodora had the real power and was running the show. Theodora kicks ass.

 

If I am not mistaken, Theodora was Justinian's wife, not Constantine's.

 

God fucking damnit!!!!

Of course you're right. I knew that. I swear I knew that. I really really did I'm just being quite dumb right now.

BAH. Of course she was Justinian's wife. The byzantine mosaics of them in that one cathedral... her on one side him on the other... I feel foolish. Twice in one night, sheesh.

 

Theodora is a good baby name.

 

I'd say Nero. He was a sneaky little devil. :X

 

constantine was the best, but they were all fuck heads at the end of the day
