Havelock Vetinari Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Emperor sounds cooler and his history is vague enough that I can get away with it. So I am.

otter Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Except Romulus founded Rome, and we know that Rome's history went King > Republic > Emperor. Even Shakespeare knew that. So no, it's really not ambiguous enough, because if this is Romulus, founder of Rome, he'd have been a King.

Constructelf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Kal, your insistence on Romulus being a king is starting to get amusing. But yeah, technically, the first Emperor was Augustus.

Havelock Vetinari Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 At first yes. But he lived for tens of thousands of years. Might have spent time as Emperor. Did spend time as an Emperor.

otter Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Well, technically, the first Emporor was Augustus. A: Who doesn't know this? B: When did I imply he wasn't? C: Are you just trying to help or something, because you're just confusing sometimes. EDIT: He spent time as a werewolf, and the thought that he would have come back to be an Emperor in such a crazy country is a really weird thought. Especially in this universe.

Havelock Vetinari Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Rome lasted for hundreds of years. Not a small chunk of time....

Constructelf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Tens of thousands of years old isn't Rome. It's the Cro-Magnon era. So why would Romulus wait until Rome? I mean, if he really is 10 000+ years old, he could of had a kingdom during the Ice Age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havelock Vetinari Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Considering Rome's legacy is largely Imperial and it is known for it's emperors....and that is the legacy he is attempting to rebuild... I'm going with the cool sounding one. He might have been called King once, but in the modern day...

Krayzikk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Or, here's an idea. Romulus existed throughout all eras of Rome's history. Though he ruled as a king, there is a good chance that he would refer to the position using the last known term. Emperor. Problem solved, timestream repaired.

ZTG Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Okay I'm finally (hopefully) back. This RP moves so fast...Anyway, I'm sorry for dropping in and out so many times but with the fact this RP is so popular and is currently 400+ I've been confused at what has been going. So...What has happened so far, anything important about te X-Men, Brotherhood and SHIELD? Quote "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.

Havelock Vetinari Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 President is dead. Romulus was a clone who has just been offed by the real Romulus. The Hellfire Club is having security problems... SHIELD is still dead in the sky from what I know. Magic Users are gathering in the Bay Area. .....And uh....Anyone else got anything?
