  1. Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. Lest anyone thinks this is "random," I happened to write an article (the longest article in NLJ history by a good margin...) on the subject back in 2021.

  9. Time for a change! While the old one was not yet empty at all, it did no longer dispense ink at any angle. So I always had to twist the pen in my hand to find the right position. It also made me press too hard, as is evident by the impressions on the Rhodia dot grid notepad.

  11. 1954 years to the day (April 16, 69 AD), the Roman Emperor Otho ended his brief reign by his own hand rather than continue in a Civil War for the throne against Vilettlius. Otho's seemingly noble(-ish) end captured the imagination of Roman historians in light of the fact he had previously been noted for his relationship to Nero, having serious debt problems, and seizing the throne by murdering his predecessor in January 69. I wrote a very long article about the enigmatic life and death of Otho, focusing on comparing four Roman historian accounts and their different opinions on the matter.

  12. CW: Consumerism, link to product page of a company I like

    Sometimes, the consumerist in me just wants to buy nice things. Good that I am broke enough to not afford yet another #Otho #pen

    But this is so cool:

  13. Otho, the second of Rome's four Emperors in 69 AD, took his own life on April 16, 69, rather than continue in a civil war to retain the throne. The extant ancient historian accounts grappled with the contrast Otho's seemingly noble end (under Roman standards) and their low opinions of him in life. I had a bit to say about the histories last year (a bit over 18k words).

  14. Ancient Roman historians had difficulty grappling with the enigmatic life of Otho, who ruled Rome as Emperor for 3 months in 69 AD. Once known for being Nero's associate, Otho opted to take his own life as Emperor after losing a significant, but perhaps not decisive battle, instead of continuing a civil war. I examine four ancient historians in more than 18,000 words.
