Hey Roan, I was just poring over the speeches of ancient Roman orators and wondered how they'd fare on a modern talk show—what would you say they'd joke about?
Ancient Romans on a talk show? Picture them complaining that Wi‑Fi can’t handle their oratory, then riffing on how Caesar’s “I am your emperor” turned into “I am your Instagram influencer.” They’d joke that their speeches were so fast the audience still hasn’t caught up, and that modern voters need a meme‑powered hashtag to even clap. And of course, they'd say, “We wrote history, now you write the comments, and we’ll pretend to listen.”
