Roman Emperors and Deodorants

I'm close to breaking this whole thing wide open Things that killed Roman emperors Deodorants Natural causes Suicide Brut Axe Old Spice Lynx Right Guard Mum Dove Gillette Arm and Hammer

A Venn diagram compares things that killed Roman emperors with deodorant brands. The joke is that several deodorant names—Brut, Axe, Old Spice, Lynx, Right Guard, Mum, and Arm & Hammer—sound like weapons, people, or causes of death, leading the uploader to jokingly suggest a hidden connection. It works as an absurd conspiracy-style reaction to noticing a strange overlap. EN: A Venn diagram compares things that killed Roman emperors with deodorant brands.
