Thanks for this! I'm currently writing an essay on Roman deification; a comparative source analysis of Pliny the younger and a coin of Domitian. This has given me a nice overall picture of deification and its significance, as well as my study materials. I watched this on my study break, just to keep the juices flowing. Cheers!
Not really, if you have a basic understanding of Roman culture and history. The book of Revelation is obviously a written revenge fantasy directed towards the Roman Empire. I’ve heard every apologetic argument on the interpretation of Revelation and I find them unconvincing.

Pretty much the ultimate oligarchic hubris: the senate creating actual gods.
Yeah, imagine some guys in the backwaters of the empire doing that some years later! XD
So this is the “Mark of the Beast” that John of Patmos was talking about in Revelation? 🤔
No Christians allowed you worship a Jewish god
Nonsense

@86thrasher so you're not some post-apocalyptic nonsense Christian ?
@86thrasher I can assure you I know quite a bit about Roman religion and culture, but I'm not a monotheist at all
