#Curul

[laopiniondedaniel]

Y Elkin Bueno dijo sí

Finalmente el ex candidato a la Alcaldía de Barrancabermeja y ex alcalde Elkin David Bueno Altahona dio el sí. El sí a aceptar la curul 17 en el Concejo de Barrancabermeja, como lo contempla el Estatuto de la oposición a quien obtuvo el segundo lugar en la votación al máximo cargo municipal el pasado 29 de octubre.

Muchos daban por hecho que no la iba a aceptar pues hacerlo era considerado un retroceso en su carrera política en la que siempre fue protagonista y para el máximo cargo municipal.

Otros, en cambio, argumentaban que la vida social del ex alcalde y sus relaciones públicas le iban a dejar poco espacio para aceptar la responsabilidad de cumplir con su presencia en las sesiones del Concejo que se cumplen cuatro bimestres al año.

También se argumentó que esa faceta de Elkin Bueno de controvertir, de debatir y de responder a una crítica o un señalamiento no es la suya, en especial cuando tiene acostumbrados a sus seguidores a responder con el silencio cuando lo atacan. Pero sobre todo, se imaginan ustedes un debate propiciado por Elkin Bueno y que en consecuencia tenga que defenderse de los señalamientos que le caerán por todos aquellos aspectos turbios y oscuros que caracterizaron sus tres administraciones municipales. Como para alquilar balcón.

En campaña algunos de los concejales electos lo acompañaron: Jorge Escalante, Josué Taborda, Sandra Galvis, entre otros. Es fácil elucubrar que esos concejales, con El, se declararían en oposición. Sin embargo, son intensos los rumores que situan al ex alcalde Alfonso Eljach Manrique como aliado del gobierno electo, cuando fue un rumor a voces que tuvo en Bueno su candidato y por ende los apoyos de los partidos En Marcha y Energía Viva habían sido direccionado hacia el ex alcalde.

Con este cambio de panorama es poco probable que se de esa oposición pensada. Además, cabe recordar que el alcalde Alfonso Eljach termina en diciembre y creemos que su influencia hacia estos concejales sea poca. En contraste, vemos que el escenario político en el Concejo será de una mayoría representativa para el alcalde Jhonatan Vasquez y quizás una oposición tímida y hasta solitaria en la que su protagonista sería el concejal #17.

Me parece que esta 'palomita' será la estrategia política de Elkin Bueno para reencaucharse, cambiar esa opinión deesfavorable en su contra y, por que no, pensar en un escenario poíítico nacional. El balón está en el campo del tunebo quien deberá ser estratégico para no salir más quemado como ocurrió en su frustrada aspiración a la Alcaldía.

Favorite Consul Pairing Dynamics

The Plebs Ship It: Love wins! The power of your longing glances and agricultural reform policies have won the people’s hearts and minds. Or at least their fanfics. Enjoy writing your names together to mark the year forever.

Star Crossed Enemies: Love FAILS! Thanks to the poorly designed voting system, you and your worst enemy must somehow co-parent a nation for an entire year without burning it down.  Veto the shit out of everything he does. Veto his stupid face.

Pompey and Himself: Co-consul? Who needs one? You’re man enough for both spots.

Pinky And The Brain: Only one of you actually does any work, and you know what? That’s fine. Just dangle Macedonia in front of your colleague like car keys to a baby and he’ll let you do anything.

Brilliant Upstart and Snooty Noble: You wish you had Pinky And The Brain, but nooo, after decades of study, reforms and military service you have to share your consulship with the brain-dead Lucius Tiddlypuss because his granddaddy conquered Flibbertigoria.

Mom Says It’s My Turn On The Imperium Today: Lucius Tiddlypuss strikes back! Every day the legions turn around as one of you vetoes yesterday’s battle tactics. The men are getting very good at going in circles.

He Ran Into My Knife: There were a pair of consuls. You send flowers of condolence to Lucius Tiddlypuss’ wife.

What Are You Doing Here: You’re pretty sure your co-consul wasn’t even running for office. He’s just as confused as you are.

You Can’t Catch Me If I’m On Fire: Leapfrog over the senate, force through your legislation in a special election, dump shit over your colleague's head so he can’t veto, then grab a provincial command and start a war before anyone can prosecute you.

NEVER MIND I’m so sorry I just scrolled down and saw your post about Antony brokering it 😭 it’s such a one-degree of separation weirdness situation, I saw you mention her and immediately remembered your “number one at being number two” tag because it drives me feral

it's wild because it's not like agrippa is separate and unconnected to the proscriptions, literally octavian's best friend and the guy that he deployed into Any Situation, yet by all accounts agrippa had a really good relationship with his father-in-law. i also feel something about the coins released after actium which show him with a beard, potentially an indication that his wife had died and he was grieving her... and that he could've married a patrician woman but he chose to marry a woman of equestrian class! drives me craaaazy, the most normal guy in all of rome and his massive fucking hard on for octavian's success. i think they should kiss.

#lost in the sauce right now thinking about him being curule aedile after being consul #wrong way up the cursus honorum mate. #ask #number one at being number two

imagine being exiled from rome for saying what caius martinus did to lucius furius m. f. sp. n. camillus

#i wish i could add their consulship year to their names but i havent decided on it yet.... #i need to find out whose ass i can boot out of that curule chair to make way for the Year Of My Guys #also fun fact c. martinus is actually(slightly) older than l. furius however l. furius will always be the old man of the relationship to ME #because he has more old man vibes. lucius furius has always been like what if a young man was an old man and gaius martinus is like what if #an old man was a young man. #ficposting

im now curious because of the other coin ask so: do u think that like. a typical roman citizen would actually know what the hell was going on on a coin?? because honestly i would NEVER have expected that sulla one to be “sulla with huge abs dreams of victory”. would they look at these and actually recognise the scenes on them?

rip i typed out a whole answer to this but chrome crashed when i tried to upload a pic of another coin with sulla on it :/

anyway. and please bear in mind that i'm not a numismatics guy i just went to two (2) obligatory Coin Seminars and also think numismatics collections in museums are sexy. i know there Is some debate among People Who Actually Know About Coins over who the propaganda on coins is For / whether it actually had any effect. and idk! maybe!

but about just identifying What's Happening on coins. i think we have to remember that Typical Roman Citizens were exposed to a lot of visual iconography that just doesn't survive today. like there are coins with things like the rostra / specific temples and aqueducts / the tribunes' benches / voting bridges on them that nowadays we're like. what. because we do not live in a society (eye emoji) where tribunes' benches are a thing you See. similarly at least some coins seem to have been based on art that doesn't survive like paintings and statues e.g. this coin minted by sulla's son faustus

like 'felix' (sulla's agnomen) does give you a clue that this is Something to do with sulla! in fact the images on coins Often have smth to do with the family of whoever minted them, and the romans were really into remembering the deeds of every famous family, so that also helped them figure it out. but other than that. Literally How Could You Tell. except! this particular coin has been identified as showing king bocchus of mauretania surrendering iugurtha to sulla, based on a passage in plutarch's life of sulla (6.1) that mentions that there was a statue in rome depicting that scene. if you're a Typical Roman Citizen hanging out in rome you would be able to recognise the image on the coin from the statue. and this is just an example where the coin + a reference to the statue Both survive. there are a whole bunch of statues and paintings etc that we know Existed but otherwise know very few details about! maybe there Was lost iconography that lets you tell which Generic Goddess Wearing A Helmet is on each coin. also maybe there was a statue or painting of sulla with huge abs dreaming of victory and if there wasn't. Why Not.

#also tbf sulla with huge abs dreaming of victory is a Complicated scene and most designs are simpler #like. prow of boat. star. tiny arena (remember my sexy gladiatorial shows? Now Vote For Me). wolf #a lot of very detailed historical Stuff put on coins by people who wanted everyone to remember their famous ancestors are from right at the #end of the republic. historical Figures and faces were new and weird and possibly controversial! #also if you're wondering abt sulla coins afaik there's like one other one minted by his grandson quintus pompeius rufus that has a portrait #and another one w curule chairs on both sides marking the consulship of sulla and q. pompeius rufus in 88 bce #minted in the 50s by q. pompeius rufus who was the grandson of Both of them #neither of those are as funny as the sulla ab coin :( #coins #beeps

UNDER THE CUT creator's commentary, ancient citations, whatever else seems relevant. ideally, this is optional! you shouldn't need the citations for it to make sense as it unfolds since it's a comic and a story first and foremost, but it's here if you're curious and want to see where the inspiration is coming from!

so! there are a couple of accounts about the return of Marius and Cinna, I've chosen Appian's account for the primary source of inspiration, although I've cut the cast down to it's barest essentials because I want the claustrophobia of violence to really eat itself.

Cinna now began to despise his enemies and drew near to the wall, halting out of range, and encamped. Octavius and his party were undecided and fearful, and hesitated to attack him on account of the desertions and the negotiations. The Senate was greatly perplexed and considered it a dreadful thing to depose Lucius Merula, the priest of Jupiter, who had been chosen consul in place of Cinna, and who had done nothing wrong in his office. Yet on account of the impending danger it reluctantly sent envoys to Cinna again, and this time as consul. They no longer expected favourable terms, so they only asked that Cinna should swear to them that he would abstain from bloodshed. He refused to take the oath, but he promised nevertheless that he would not willingly be the cause of anybody's death. He directed, however, that Octavius, who had gone round and entered the city by another gate, should keep away from the forum lest anything should befall him against his own will. This answer he delivered to the envoys from a high platform in his character as consul. Marius stood in silence beside the curule chair, but showed by the asperity of his countenance the slaughter he contemplated. When the Senate had accepted these terms and had invited Cinna and Marius to enter (for it was understood that, while it was Cinna's name which appeared, the moving spirit was Marius), the latter said with a scornful smile that it was not lawful for men banished to enter. Forthwith the tribunes voted to repeal the decree of banishment against him and all the others who were expelled under the consul­ship of Sulla.

Accordingly Cinna and Marius entered the city and everybody received them with fear. Straightway they began to plunder without hindrance all the goods of those who were supposed to be of the opposite party. Cinna and Marius had sworn to Octavius, and the augurs and soothsayers had predicted, that he would suffer no harm, yet his friends advised him to fly. He replied that he would never desert the city while he was consul. So he withdrew from the forum to the Janiculum with the nobility and what was left of his army, where he occupied the curule chair and wore the robes of office, attended as consul by lictors. Here he was attacked by Censorinus with a body of horse, and again his friends and the soldiers who stood by him urged him to fly and brought him his horse, but he disdained even to arise, and awaited death. Censorinus cut off his head and carried it to Cinna, and it was suspended in the forum in front of the rostra, the first head of a consul that was so exposed. After him the heads of others who were slain were suspended there; and this shocking custom, which began with Octavius, was not discontinued, but was handed down to subsequent massacres.

Appian, Civil Wars I, 70-71 (trans. Horace White)

Plutarch's biography of Marius also recounts the same event, but I was leaning more on Appian for this.

ALSO! the choice to use Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's painting The Capture of Carthage as a backdrop to Octavius: it's because Cinna and Octavius were co consuls for a minute and Rome and Carthage are twin cities (instar Carthaginis urbem babyyy), and I do love the doubling/twin-ification of a thing. which is what co consuls are to me. we're overlapping the themes, in addition to the overlapping of violence, which is what all iterations of Rome are founded on.

the chapter cover is my own illustration of an Etruscan kantharos because Crassus may or may not have had some kind of Etruscan heritage. YMMV but for me it's fun to think about

If the Romans didn't want us to write gay fanfiction of them, why did they elect two dudes to be consul every year and make them take turns coparenting a bundle of sticks?

i think one of my new favorite tales of pettiness from ancient rome is when gnaeus flavius, who at the time was a curule aedile, was visiting a sick colleague and none of the nobles in the room stood up to show him respect when he entered, so flavius had his special curule chair brought into the room and sat directly in front of the door so none of them could leave and they all had to look at him in his fancy chair. like congratulations sir that is the funniest possible way you could handle that

Hmm, I think we may all need to go back through our archives. Andy Finnie was Cait's driver, he's not the director. I'll concede that it could have been Davey who was calling people names, but I'm sure Cait's driver was called Andy Finnie. If I recall, also, both he and Davey were sent to the Tartan parade in NY by fans.

Dear Tartan Day Parade Anon,

This fits nicely with all the other comments. And @ladyjane-lj meant to say Andie Finnie was head of the drivers, or something along these lines - this, I am saying just to make sure we agree on that, it's not even important, if you ask me.

Thank you for confirming interesting points of detail. Now, can we put this thing to rest, are we done, is there anything more you'd like to discuss?

Don't be a stranger. The amount of half- digested/understood episodes in this Endless OL Saga TM is simply staggering. We need to pool in and carefully vet anything we can, really.

PS: In calling his generous sponsors 'cunts', the man showed us the width and depth of his intelligence. Because I think the 'cunts' never opened their wallets again to sponsor his trips to the States. Just an afterthought. Or, as we say in Romanian, 'gura bate curul' (your mouth hurts your butt) - never a good idea.

Coins of the 12 Caesars: Titus

Titus, aureus struck in 71 or 72, during his tenure as Caesar under his father Vespasian. Obverse depicts Titus facing right. Legend reads "T CAES IMP VESP PON TR POT" Reverse is a "Judaea Capta" type, depicting a Jewish woman seated and mourning to the right of a palm tree, to the left is Titus, holding scepter and parazonium with his foot resting on a globe.

Same type as above, but this one has toning indicative of this coin being a part of the Boscoreale hoard found in Pompeii, with said toning being caused by the heat of the volcanic eruption.

Out of the Flavian dynasty's coinage I'd say Titus just barely takes second to Vespasian in terms of interesting coin types, only because I think Vespasian had the benefit of having more time to strike cool coins.

Sestertius of Titus as Caesar, struck in 72 AD. Obverse depicts Titus facing right. Legend reads "T CAESAR VESPASIAN IMP III PON TR POT II COS II Reverse depicts Titus in a triumphal quadriga holding scepter and olive branch, the side of the quadriga depicts Titus putting his hand on the head of a captive, his other hand holding a palm branch..

This is an interesting type; the reverse depicts an elephant as a commemoration of the inaugural games held at the Flavian Ampitheater (the colosseum). Elephants such as the one on this coin would have been brought in for entertainment.

The famous Colosseum sestertius, struck between 80 and 81 AD. Obverse depicts the newly completed colosseum in the center, the Meta Sudans fountain to the left, and a porticoed building to the right. Reverse depicts Titus seated on a curule chair surrounded by a pile of arms, holding a branch. Legend reads "IMP T CAES VESP AVG PM TR P P P COS VIII
