… 6, on the other hand, wasn't so attractive a year.
In Beijing, boy emperor Ping Di died unexpectedly, aged just 14, after the planet Mars disappeared behind the moon in January, causing many to fear for his life.
Wang Mang showed that he was indeed the now risen power behind, beside and possibly in front of the those by taking it upon himself to selects the new emperor, the Ruzi Ying, aged just two.
This ushered in the Jushe era of the Han Dynasty, as eni fule kno.
6 was saved from total tedium by the invention of zealotry in Judea.
Publius Sulpicius Quirinius became governor of Syria – or which Judea was a small part – and decided to have a census: the one six years earlier having caused no trouble at all.
Unfortunately, Judas the Galilean didn't like the idea of being counted and became revolting, along with Zadok the Pharisee and a few other like minded terrorists.
The revolt was repressed and the rebels were crucified, but it didn't stop a lot of people following their example and declaring themselves Zealots. Which was quite fashionable for a while.
I am only allowing publication of this lengthy drivel from Brasers and Siggy Freud or whatever other pseudonym he is adopting in his colourful and multi-personalitied psyche, in order to avoid any suggestion of favouritism on my part.
