Here’s an interesting question: What if ancient Rome had the Internet? Well, here’s how EMR sees it…  

• The destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is the most viewed video at YouTube. The first comment is…”OMG so cool! Volcanos ROCK!”
  
  
• Attila the Hun has his own MySpace page. Nobody ever rejects his “invite a friend” emails.
  
  
• The soothsayer’s “Ides of March” email fails to get Caesar’s proper attention as it’s inadvertently filtered into his junk folder.
  
  
• But at least Caesar’s “Et tu Brute?” comment is available as a free ringtone download.
  
  
• The domain gladiator.rome sells for the record sum of 1,000,000 denarii.
  
  
• The owner of hadriansucks.rome is compelled to hand over both the domain name and selected body parts by an independent domain tribunal chaired by…Emperor Hadrian.
  
  
• “Naked Cleopatra” is the top search term on Google.
