Fulvia
Fulvia
(c. 83 BCE-40 BCE) The first non-mythological woman to appear on Roman coins. She was married three times (Publius Clodius Pulcher, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Mark Antony) and actively involved in all her husband’s careers. She testified against the murderer of her first husband, and inherited several street gangs. She unsuccessfully plotted against Octavian in retaliation for divorcing her daughter Clodia. She was exiled to Greece and died. One of her sons by Mark Antony, Antyllus was executed after the Battle of Actium, while the other Jullus committed suicide after participating in a plot with Julia (the daughter of Augustus).
She’s not as well known, due to being overshadowed by both Livia Drusilla and Cleopatra (who was also involved with Mark Antony).

Boardwalk and Park Place ==> Egypt and Syria
Baltic and Mediterranean ==> Britannia Prima and Britannia Secunda
instead of houses and hotels, villae and latifundia
instead of railroads, just roads
water works ==> bathhouse
electric company ==> amphitheater
free parking ==> forum
income tax ==> wealth tax
re-skinned Chance and Community Chest cards:
“You have been elected Aedile – pay each player 50 denarii”

I’m a bit disappointed I missed this festival.
Antinous Festival of the Nile Inundation remix image by honorthegods.
Today, July 25, the modern cult of Antinous celebrates the festival of the Inundation of the Nile. The annual flooding of the Nile had failed in the two years preceding the death of Antinous. Famine was a threat to northern Europe, Africa, and the Near East, regions which relied on imports of grain from Egypt. The year following Antinous’ death, the inundation of the Nile was restored and even exceeded prior levels, an occurrence believed by some at the time to have been a miracle brought about by the recently deified Antinous.
Hail to you, O Nile! Hail, holy waters of life! Mysterious is your issuing forth from the darkness, on this day whereon it is celebrated!
Hail to you, O Hapi! You bring water to the fields which Ra created! By your command, the land is fertile! Food is abundant, and the people are strong!
Hail, Antinous, deified by the Nile! You hear the prayers of all those who call out to you, and relieve the afflictions of those in need!

Damn, this is both hilarious and accurate.
If the Romans and Friends Had Outgoing Voice Messages Part 2
Cleopatra: You have reached 1-800 That Bitch, and this is a message to let SOMEBODY (Antony) know that if he so much as TRIES to steal my takeout this time I will stab him in the eye
Octavia: Before you begin your message I'd like to apologize for anything my brother has done to provoke you, I am not responsible for him
Cicero: You have reached the only voice of reason left in this hellhole, please leave a message.
Agrippa: Marcus Agrippa, please leave a message. Sorry I can't come to the phone right now but I literally never have a moment free *depressed laugh*
A gruesome, but excellently drawn art of Mark Antony dying in Cleopatra’s arms.

This is so accurate!

Seriously, everyone is missing OP’s point that EVERY religion except the Christian religion analogue is treated like crap. If that’s not Christian bias, I don’t know what is.
CONFESSION:
I’m still mad about the retconning of the Elven Pantheon in Inquisition. If they were set on Mythal being betrayed by the others and Fen'Harel being more than a trickster god, they could have done that without making all of the Elven gods straight up evil. I understand that fleshing them out would require making them less perfectly benevolent. Instead they lack any nuance and they basically made them the Elven equivalent of power hungry Tevinter Magisters. The Maker is still real though.
Freedom of Religion Means ALL Religions Not Just Christian Sects!
I respect Christian Dominionists’ right......to shut the fuck up about how we fallen away from being a “Christian nation”. The only reason we have “Under God” in our pledge was to show we were different from those “Godless communists”. Y’all need to re-read the First Amendment, which says that Congress shall not favor a particular religion over another.
