On The Seventh Day of Caligumas My True Love Gave To Me...

...seven chests of seashells from the shores of the seven seas.

In 40 CE, Caligula set off with a large army to invade Britton. Somewhere along the way (the coast of northern Gaul, to be precise) he changed his mind and decided to declare war on the ocean instead. Victorious, he returned to Rome with several chests of seashells which he had ordered the legions to gather: the spoils of war.

Hey, it looks like the whole world is getting ready for Caligumas

how could he tell when he'd won? did he just wait for the tide to go out, and then claim that the enemy had been put to flight? because that would've been AWESOME
