Welcome to Totalus Rankium.

I am Jamie.

And I'm Rob, ranking all up the emperors from Augustus to Augustelus, and here we are on episode 66.

Ooh.

It's Gratian.

Wow, we're 600 away from the evil episode.

From Nero's episode. Did we go over that? What? Nero, number of the beast. No. No, I'm sure I mentioned it in this episode. You might have done, but is... I honestly can't remember it some time ago. If you're one of our listeners who were binge listening, and it's only like a couple of months ago, you might remember if we talked about that.

Yeah, Nero, if you translate his name through various things, Latin, Greek and Hebrew, then eventually you end up with the number 666.

And there's some theories that 666 is a reference to Nero, although some people point out there's actually 616, so the number of the bees should be 616.

There are also people who point out that there are only 10 symbols we use for numbers, so of course there will be coincidences.

You've literally just covered all of the things I was about to say.

Well done.

There we go, then.

Yes.

So what you're saying is rubbish?

Oh, yeah.

It's obviously rubbish. But any conspiracy theory that links to a number is clearly ridiculous.

You notice the number two often turns up on a Tuesday.

Oh, my goodness.

Wait, Tuesday. Exactly. Oh, my goodness. Wait, Tuesday. Exactly. Oh my goodness. Exactly. And do you know one

seventh of people die on a Tuesday? Yes, they do. It's a good job this is a short episode.

Let's fill the time. Yes. Right, okay. We're not going to start with Gratian just yet.
