A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

Explanation: Caesar, at the age of 32, was still a relative no-one, a minor Roman politician from a well-established family, and mourned this fact, weeping at a statue of Alexander because he felt that, at 32, he had achieved nothing, while Alexander, by 32, had performed massive and glorious deeds.
Your life isn't over at 32. You got a long road ahead of you.
Tell that to J.H. Christ, from Nazareth.
Tell that to Alexander himself, who died at 32 lmao
