Like it has the largest temple of Jupiter out of anywhere on the Roman Empire.

Generally speaking, it's got some of the biggest temples in the Roman Empire period, but it's a far-flung corner of their empire.

And it's not an important city, really.

I mean, it's semi-important in the region, but it's certainly no Cairo or anything.

Right.

The whole but but it has all these huge temples.

My opinion is my thinking is that they showed up and there was this massive stonework there.

And these are the Romans.

They can't have these can't have the locals thinking their ancestors were better than the Romans.

So they fucking hijack it.

We just build big shit on top of it.

This is now ours.

We plant our stamp on it.

This is a Roman building.

This is all Roman now.

This was never your ancestors.

This was always ours.

And then the locals don't ever – you can't look to their forefathers or whatever legends they had in a couple of generations.

Just the power of Rome.
