If you had the opportunity to have been a Roman Emperor, what
creatively witty Roman type of name/s would you take on, or have
taken ?
The names of any and all real life Roman Emperors can't be used,
but any witty variation/s on any real Roman Emperor names would
be ok.

I've always liked Gladjanus, which is a Dutch expression that means something like "slicker".

I think that magnus decimus maximus would be quite amusing. But that's because I'm very loosely translating it as biggest big boy the 10Th. The python team had the best of all comedy "Roman" names with Biggus Dickus who ranks as high as any in Rome (but said with a lisp). For myself I would have to be Inconstantine the variable.

Which reminds me of an inscription I once saw in a church in Rome: it said that this was the place where Maximus Peccator was resting in peace. I still wonder if this man was called Maximus and confessed that he was a sinner, or that the dead man wished to remain anonymous because he was the greatest sinner.

Rolls or rolling On The FLoor ? What does it mean? I mean, in what context you use it?

Avete Fraterii:
I would simply use my Roman name:
Gaius Octavius Drusus
This way, I can abbreviate it. And on some fine day in the month of Augustus, when spineless senators and various members of the Patrician abase themselves before me whining and pleading for some imperial favor, they can say that they talked to G.O.D.....:-) )
Vale:
Gaius
