We are only at 146 AD on the marker-to-marker scale with the Roman Empire? I thought our Gov’t and society was further along than that.

Overpaid sports stars? check!
Bread and circuses? check!
Central Bank diluting value of money? check!
Welfare for nearly everyone in the capital? check!
Gov’t takeover of key industries? check!
wars around the globe? check!
Decline of Republican Gov’t? check!
Elites and Homosexuals controlling society? check!

LOL!!! In a lot of ways we are very similar to the ancient Romans and I mean that in a good way.

But we know human nature is virtually immutable... the more things change... the more they stay the same.


except to a libtard, in their conceit and arrogance they think they can change it..

Not a tape. It was more of a bowl.

I have a feeling that it was written out and not done in Roman numerals.

Sounds a lot like Formula 1 and they sound like the predecessors of the company up the coast in Marenello aka Ferrari. The horses on the chariot? Ferrari's name is The Scuderia or "stable" for horses. The company logo is a prancing black stallion.
