Someone suggested modern day Brits would have tested Roman soldiers’ loyalty to Caesar and it prompted some very funny and totally on-point responses
Over on Twitter someone’s been doing a little bit of time-travelling, suggesting that modern day Brits would have tested Roman soldiers’ loyalty to Caesar.
Specifically, this ‘modern day Brit’, as posted by history (well, sort of) Twitter account @UpdatingOnRome.
It’s August of 55 BC. You land on the foggy island of Britannia. The first thing you see is this. Do you stay loyal to Caesar? pic.twitter.com/UN2lTlNoyS

And we mention it because it prompted some very funny and totally on-point responses, welcome evidence that Twitter still can be fun just every now and again.

Man, some of you are so desperate and lonely that shit like this is funny and sad at the same time. Touch grass, larpers. No girl looking like that is touching with you with a 10 foot pole, not 2000 years ago, not today, not 2000 years from now
