Welcome to Totalus Rankium.

I am Jamie.

And I'm Robert ranking all the emperors from Augustus to Augustus and this is episode 50.

50!

Yeah, we seem to be hitting all the landmarks recently.

It's great.

Yeah, it's good.

So yeah, episode 50 Diocletian. Yeah. Yeah, it's good. So, yeah, episode 50, Diocletian.

Yeah. Oh, it's a big name. It's quite long, yeah, a few less than there. Yes, it is. It's going to be a longer episode, this. That's all right. I've had for a while. I've got my couple of trousers on, so. Yeah, yeah. We're recording later than usual as well.

Yeah, yes.

I apologize.

Thanks to your Ofsted visit. Yep. It's over now though, so. It's over. We're hey. If you're not in the UK and you don't know what Ofsted is, guessing they have an equivalent in America and other countries. It's the government coming and watching what you do and judging here, making you cry. It's fine. It's over now. It's all over. Right. Okay. Let's go back into the joyous world of Roman history. Yeah. The real world. We're going to do the tetraarchy. Ah, yes. Yes. That really well-known thing.

Tetraki meaning four, of course.

So we're doing nine emperors.

Of course.

For reasons that we'll come clear.

It is the Roman way.

Give it one name and it's absolutely nonsense.

It does make sense when you go into it.

But we will be looking at nine emperors. We have alliances,

betrayals, love, death, small furry animals. Everything is in this. It's going to be exciting. I'm

looking forward to the next couple of months. Good. It's going to be good stuff.
