Le dernier Empereur romain, en pièces détachées. © photosderome.fr Il y a des colosses dont on retient le nom : le mythique Colosse de Rhodes par exemple, d’autres dont la notoriété rejaillit dans notre quotidien à l’instar du David de Michel-Ange (dont la monumentalité est digne d’un colosse).
Pourtant, ce n’est ni l’un, ni l’autre qui va nous intéresser aujourd’hui mais plutôt un témoin de la grandeur (voire démesure) de Rome précèdent son déclin. De ce colosse, il ne reste rien de son gigantisme. Quelques fragments dans une cour du Palais des Conservateurs sur la colline du Capitole à Rome, retrouvés sous le pape Innocent VII à en 1486, qui laissent libre court à l’imagination afin d’imaginer les proportions de cette sculpture romaine tardive.

Anecdotes croustillantes - Les Césars. Five Hardcore Deaths Suffered By Roman Emperors. It is ironic that the ancient world that created the adage “moderation in all things” could disregard this counsel in flagrant fashion.
We’ve recently written about a number of various Greco-Roman excesses, from certain Roman gastronomic overindulgences to grotesquely imaginative Greek torture methods. Today, continuing this trend, we bring you a short list of the most gruesome deaths of Roman emperors, based on The Awl’s 2012 post, “Roman Emperors, Up To AD 476 And Not Including Usurpers, In Order Of How Hardcore Their Deaths Were” compiled by Josh Fruhlinger.

When they went wrong, though, boy did they go wrong.
