#onthisday in 534 BCE (allegedly (*)) ancient Greek actor Thespis gave the first performance on the Athenian stage as an individual character (as opposed to chorus member). Happy birthday to all actors and performers and their noble craft!

Happy birthday Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, Roman poet, republican satirist (at least in the latter books of the rather wild Pharsalia), conspirator against Nero forced to commit suicide at 25, born #onthisday in 39CE.

1223 years ago today Irene Augusta, the first empress regnant of the Roman Empire, was deposed by a Byzantine revolt (#onthisday 802 CE), some time after Pope Leo III declared the throne of Rome vacant on the basis of her gender.
