Commodus, I Don't Know if a Pass Is the Right Word, I Just Think He Was Created
One of the things i love about the greeks is their love of their prior generation. Is it fair for someone to assume that they were necessarily less than those that came before them? I just think that commodus was so historically bad, yet it didn't matter how he was raised. His stoicism didn't just get caught up in himself. He justi just didn't get through. That's but i want to give the guy a pass, because it's a lot more fun if he was really that great and comedist was that bad too. It makes for a better story, and hopefully for better i love it.
