You can’t change my mind: Scipio vs Hannibal was peak Roman history, and everything sucks after that. It had everything: drama, revenge, a battle of wits and strategy, a build up of tension spanning years, man-on-man action, war elephants, Roman citizen pissing their pants in fear for three decades, and a swamp.

I don’t give a shit about Julius Ceaser or whatever the fuck Augustus and the 5 good emperors were up to. We have enough “historical” political dramas, Hollywood, give us HANNIBAL BARCA VS SCIPIO AFRICANUS (OG) IN IMAX.

Explanation: Exactly what it looks like. Although I must note that Scipio Africanus popularized shaving every day, whereas shaving every few days had been Roman practice for about a century at that point.

People lived longer than you’d think back then.
