Thank you for highlighting, this looks nice! The most amusing part is that it is me reading Aurelius' Meditations that sparked the tweet in the first place, where I found the LLM incredibly helpful to help interpret the text and "translate" it more into modern language and give context. Just as a random example I remember, there is a quick passing reference in book one: "From my governor, to be neither of the green nor of the blue party at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either of the Parmularius or the Scutarius at the gladiators' fights;" Turns out the Parmularius and the Scutarius were two factions - the former used smaller shields (parma), emphasizing agility and speed, while the Scutarius used larger shields (scutum), focusing on strength and defense. Apparently these were two different fighting styles in gladiatorial combat and some kind of a big deal and a source of tension and rivalry in those times pretty cool.
