Spousebot is reading a book about Julius Caesar and we are *delighted* to learn that, among the many honours he granted himself, one was the right to wear Special Red Boots. https://twitter.com/smolrobots/status/1082176050451415041">https://twitter.com/smolrobot...

Just imagining him walking around in his special red boots, all smug and proud.

Supposedly they were a status symbol associated with the ancient kings of Rome, but most historical records of Caesar were written by...Caesar, so we only have his word for that.

They were knee-high too. *Clearly* he just liked wearing his special red boots.

We& #39;re picturing him like a little child that insists on dressing like a princess or Spider-Man all the time.
