Joshacus Pious


Joshua takes third place in school Emperor Club Contest!


Here are some fun facts from Josh himself...




  1. Who was the first emperor with a beard?


  2. Who's pet snake was eaten by ants?


  3. Who's name/nickname means little boots?


  4. Who did not want to be emperor?


  5. Who was a glutton and a drunk?


  6. Who used gold dust to make his hair have golden highlights?


  7. Who started the Flavien Dynasty?


  8. Who held a 100 day festival to open the Colliseum?


  9. Who renovated the pantheon?


  10. Under who did Rome burn?


Try to answer in the comments.


My favorite emperor is Trajan. Because Rome was not only at its largest but also its wealthiest.

WOW! Congratulations, Josh(acus)!! I won't even attempt to answer any of those questions because I have NO IDEA! But, now I know who to call if I ever DO need to know!

Didn't Nero play the fiddle on a roof while the city burned.....? Or something? That's the only one I know. I am not even sure.
