Was Gaius Appuleius Diocles really that good? Anyone seen him race? Wiki says he won over 1400 races

Ah so this is OK, but when it comes to those people born in the British Empire they are retroactively changed to modern nationalities on Wiki. Good ol' Wiki. I've literally seen them change people born in British Ireland named as 'Irish' despite if you apply modern borders they'd be Northern Irish and thus British.
was Gandhi quintessentially british?
>Gaius born in Lamecum
hmmmmmmmmmm
based
Those people were never British citizens. Roman citizenship was only for Romans until the Social War. After that It was handed out to province cities pretty much on a whim whenever it was handy to do so. Trajan and a few other emperors weren't even born in Rome, or Italy.
We identify as romans.
Being roman was a matter of citizenship
He was well marketed but never the goat and had no loyalty to his colours
>He began driving for the Whites at the age of 18; after 6 years, he switched to the Greens for 3 years, and then drove 15 years for the Reds before retiring at the age of 42
Glad he saw sense in the end and didn't even go near those blue poofters.
This is a bit of a meme
It's already damn hard to properly convert wealth from 1900 and comparing it to today - imagine if you're doing that going back to 100-150 A. D.
Northern Irish are Irish or British or both Irish and British.
Rory McIlroy, for example, is from the north and he will represent Ireland in golf.
I suppose it's ok to count his earnings for both Ireland and the UK so.
>His winnings reportedly totaled 35,863,120 sesterces, equivalent to 358,631.20 gold aureus or 2,600 kg of gold, allegedly over $15 billion in today's (2011) dollars based on a calculation equating the budgets of the Roman army and the United States army. This amount could provide a year's supply of grain to the entire city of Rome, or pay the Roman army at its height for a fifth of a year. Classics professor Peter Struck describes him as "the best paid athlete of all time". [4] In equivalent basic good purchasing power, Diocles's wealth would be between approximately $60 million and $160 million.

that is pretty mad, he must have been swimming in sexy roman babes

TEAM MONEY WHERE WE @
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Romans didn’t even control Rome or most of Italy for the last millennium of their history
ALL WORK IS WHAT?!
that's why they're often referred to as Byzantine instead of Romans
Being a Roman was a privilege not a right, you either had to join the military and fight and get your citizenship or fuck off.
>Portugese
TTTTTRTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I could have beat him
*sexy roman boys
He was a stat padding fraud. Marcus Pius Antonius was twice the racer he was before injury fucked up his career. It was also an open secret that Gaius was friends with the emperor and had a shitton of races rigged in his favor.
>Why aren’t my modern racial constructs a social constant throughout history
Everyone knows Rome fell cause the wretched Dier Wolf and degeneracy that included amongst other things Paganism, Sodomy and Jewish control
