and pray tell us how that differs from the habsburgs having their austrian domain, the dutch domain, the burgundian domain, the spanish domain and holding the reichskrone of the hre all at once? i'm starting to think you really are retarded. next you're gonna argue julius caesar wasn't upper class because rome didn't have nobiliarchic titles at that time. here's another for you, you fat retarded faggot. octavian was of an even lesser class than his great uncle, and adoptive father, since his real father was from an equestrian bloodline, while julius caesar was a patrician. yet it was the lower class among both which became the first emperor, you know how? because octavian was the richest man alive in europe, possibly the whole world, at that point. money kept his legions fed and paid, bribes for corrupt senators to stay out of the way in the struggle for power of the triumvirate and to fed the entire city of rome when marc anthony tried to choke himby denying egypts grain exports that he was under contract to supply. you're just a moron with patches in the eyes, like the ones they strap on donkeys so they don't stray from the road.
