Oh, it was sort of a historical thing but meant to be a FUN read! Hence the bit about real wolverines in the wild...etc. Of course I realize why the outfit he wears is fun and exciting!
Just having fun with it is all.
My Roman armor thing is a really, really strange part of who I am. No idea why I find it fascinating. I've read several books on it.

Sooooo, how does that make you feel?
18-karat gold toilet swiped from Winston Churchill’s childhood home
Thieves pinched an 18-karat commode from Winston Churchill’s boyhood home Saturday — and immediately became public enemies numbers 1 and 2.nypost.com
I have no gold toilets or wood paneling in my bathroom. My crapper is crappy in comparison...

It makes me want to get out the ol' Ouija Board and have a frank talk with Freud.
As to the toilet thing: I have no opinion about solid gold toilets. I've never sat on one. Maybe it feels extra-special?
I'm still using chamber pots.

Mine was all in fun as well. The Roman armor thing - color me impressed. And amused.
it all started when I saw Ben Hur and Spartacus as a little kid.
From then on I wanted to know as much as I could about the classical world. It’s an odd rabbit hole to fall into.
But then, it’s also true that I learned most of what I know about orchestral music from Bugs Bunny, thus, rabbit holes…

That's some expensive schlitz...
On going for the golden toilet of life...
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
---P. Shelley, 1817
Let me remind you of the pilgrim
Who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama
He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation
After the five years
He was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said
'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?'
So the pilgrim said
'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.'
So the Dalai Lama smiled and said
'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?'
---Procol Harum, In held 'twas in I, 1968
"Wait. I get the first one's relationship the brevity of life and the long term meaninglessness of possessing the golden toilet. I don't understand the Procol Harum lyric's relationship to the toilet at all."
"Don't worry, my boy, I can explain it to you, but first you must spend five years in contemplation."
"You'll be dead in five years."
"And that's the very reason you need to wait."
"If you're dead, I'm dead."
"You're catching on."
