The more I think about it the less of a no-brainer this is. You have servants. You’re not doing shit. Just slowly kill your husband in some House M.D. shit and become a widow

“The eastern Roman Empire, known colloquially as Romania, was one of the most durable states the world has ever seen. Its existence spanned 1/5 of recorded human history…”
At the beginning “it encompassed about 1/4 of a total global population of some 190 million; by the end the Romans were but a tiny fraction of a global population that had nearly doubled. When we begin, most Romans worshipped the ancient gods of Olympos and knew a world of three continents, whereas the end of our story was witnessed by people who would, later in life, hear of the arrival of the Cross and the Spanish empire to the New World.”
“They survived by investing in institutions of resilience, pooling resources to promote common goals, and building consensus around shared values, especially regarding justice, social order, correct religion, and the common good…It is a story of resilience and adaptability framed against the backdrop of those institutions and shared values, as the east Romans struggled to survive and thrive during one of the most difficult and dangerous periods in history.”
