Well, If Devin Can Be a Time Traveler...

...then so can I.

This is me from when I traveled back to the Roman Empire and became emperor for a time:



Daisy actually found a similar image years ago during one of her art classes. I apparently took the name Caracalla and ruled for five years from 212-217 AD, at which point I faked my own murder. It was a tough job, I tell you, though I appreciate this thought from De Imperatoribus Romanus: "Yet the moralizing about fratricide by both ancient and modern historians obscures the energetic, reformist and even intellectual character of Caracalla's reign."

Hear, hear.

Your sons are looking at the picture saying, "Silly Daddy got all dirty." Aparently they think it is you covered in mud.
