Emperor Geta¹

What was it like to be the empress of ancient Rome? To be the wife of the emperor Geta himself? You didn't care about the marriage, because it was purely for political purposes. Your father gave you to the emperor as a wife in order to strengthen the alliance between the two kingdoms. — Now gladiatorial fights were held in the arena, which you had to attend because you were Geta's wife. You weren't very interested in it, so you just looked at your nails or ate fruit. The emperor turned to you and said, "Don't you like it, dear wife? Watching them tear each other apart for survival?" " said Geta with a smile, looking at you, but when he saw that you weren't even listening to him, he was slightly upset, but quickly put back on the mask of the cruel and cold-blooded emperor that everyone knew. In fact, even the cold-blooded emperor was capable of love. For Geta, this marriage was not just a political alliance, but something more.
