Technologia imperatores: Unpacking the tech bro fascination with the Roman Empire
At the end of 2023, while Elon Musk was flirting on X with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, the two exchanged jokes about a popular trend on social media, which involved asking men how often they think about the Roman Empire. Eighteen months later, St. Clair announced she had given birth to Musk's 13 th known child. They chose the name Romulus for him, the latest addition to a blended family that the head of Tesla, X and SpaceX privately calls his "legion." As for his three daughters, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg chose names inspired by Roman emperors: Maxima, August and Aurelia. And when the two men considered facing off in an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fight in 2023, Musk suggested holding it in Rome, at the Colosseum. Many leaders of major tech companies have a fascination with the Roman Empire. Palmer Luckey, the virtual reality pioneer who shifted to military drones at Anduril, wants to create an ultra-realistic simulation of ancient Rome. Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter (now X), often draws a parallel between the advent of the internet and the development of aqueducts by the Roman Empire. The powerful investor Marc Andreessen has said California is "like Rome in maybe 250 AD, we live amidst an enormous flowering of culture and creativity, but the roads are becoming unsafe and nobody is quite sure why." Zuckerberg, who has a good command of Latin, is passionate about Rome, to the point that he recently designed T-shirts himself featuring altered Latin phrases. For example: "Carthago delenda est" ("Carthage must be destroyed"), or another that drew some mockery: "Aut Zuck aut Nihil" ("Zuck or nothing"), a nod to "Aut Caesar aut nihil" ("Either Caesar or nothing") attributed to Cesare Borgia, Machiavelli's Prince.

US singer Chris Brown pleads not guilty in UK assault case
Brown, 36, wearing a dark suit and tie as well as glasses, stood in the dock in London as the charge was put to him, replying: "Not guilty, ma'am." The singer, who is on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail, waved to people in the public gallery as he left, following his plea to allegedly attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent. A five to seven-day long trial was scheduled to start on October 26, 2026. The singer was held in custody for a nearly a week in May after he was arrested in the northwestern city of Manchester. He was later released on bail. Under the terms of his bail, he will forfeit the £5 million guarantee if he fails to return for court proceedings. He was also given the go-ahead to continue his scheduled international tour which began on June 8 in Amsterdam. The star, who had a troubled relationship with Barbadian singer Rihanna, is on the UK leg of his tour, with his next date in London on Saturday. Brown is charged with attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to an assault in which the victim was allegedly struck several times with a bottle before being pursued, punched and kicked. The alleged incident took place at a nightclub in Hanover Square in London on February 19, 2023 while Brown was touring in the UK. Grammy winner Police detained him in the early hours of May 13 at a five-star hotel in Manchester after he reportedly flew in by private jet. Other bail terms include that he should surrender his passport if he is not travelling. He is also required to live at a specific address known to the court and is not permitted to visit the nightclub were the alleged assault took place or contact the alleged victim, Abraham Diah. He appeared in the dock with co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, a US national, with whom he is jointly charged. Akinlolu also entered a not guilty plea to the same charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent. Both men are also jointly charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They will enter pleas to that charge on July 11, the court was told. Brown also faces a third charge of having an offensive weapon, a bottle, in public. The Grammy-winning singer is known for mid-2000s hits such as "Kiss, Kiss". He rose from a local church choir in Virginia to sudden fame with his rich R&B voice and later rap, but his reputation has been tarnished by the allegations of abuse. He also are also scheduled to perform in France, Portugal and the US later in the year, before the tour wraps up in Memphis in mid-October.

US singer Chris Brown in London court on assault case
Brown was freed from UK custody last month on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail after his arrest in the northwestern city of Manchester. Under the terms of his bail, which would see him forfeit the £5 million guarantee if he failed to return for court proceedings, the Grammy-winning Brown, 36, was given the go-ahead to continue his scheduled international tour, which began on June 8 in Amsterdam. The star, who had a troubled relationship with Barbadian singer Rihanna, is currently performing the UK leg of his tour, with his next date in London on Saturday. Concerts are also scheduled in France, Portugal and the US later in the year, before the tour wraps up in Memphis in mid-October. The star is charged with "grievous bodily harm with intent" in relation to an assault in which the victim was allegedly struck several times with a bottle before being pursued, punched and kicked. The alleged incident took place at a nightclub in Hanover Square in London on February 19, 2023 while Brown was touring in the UK. Police detained him in the early hours of May 13 at a five-star hotel in Manchester after he reportedly flew in by private jet. Judge Tony Baumgartner, at Southwark Crown Court in London, last month ordered that he could be freed on bail, and also stipulated that he should surrender his passport if he is not travelling. He is required to live at a specific address known to the court and is not permitted to visit the nightclub were the alleged assault took place or contact the alleged victim, Abraham Diah. Co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, a 38-year-old US national, has also been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. Brown is known for mid-2000s hits such as "Kiss, Kiss".
