AITA for playing pranks on my courtiers?

April Fools

I (16NB) am the emperor of Rome and the emperor of pranks! I love throwing dinner parties where I invite all the guests to sit on air cushions, and then I let out all the air so that they find themselves sitting on the floor. Other times, I throw parties where I give all of my guests fake food made of wax, wood, or ivory, while I eat real food myself.

I keep lions and leopards that have been trained to be harmless as pets, and sometimes I have them brought into my parties while everyone is eating dessert to scare everyone who doesn't know they're harmless! Sometimes, I throw dinner parties where I invite eight guests who all have an unusual physical trait in common, such as all bald men, all one-eyed men, all deaf men, or all fat men. It's always so funny when they arrive and pretend not to realize why they've been invited!

I like having my chariot pulled by unusual animals, such as dogs, stags, lions, or elephants. One time I even rode around naked in a chariot pulled by naked women! Instead of throwing out silver or gold coins to the masses like a boring emperor, I like giving out cattle, camels, donkeys, or deer, since it's more imperial to give away live animals!

Sadly, a lot of those stuffy old Roman senators don't like my pranks. They also don't like me because I'm Syrian, and I've promoted the worship of the super-based Syrian sun god Elagabalus. They also don't like the fact that I like to dress in women's clothes, wear a wig, makeup, perfume, and jewelry and call myself a lady. They also hate that I have lots of sex with both hot women and sexy men with big dicks, which I don't understand. Most of them like having sex with boys, so what's wrong with me having sex with men?

Anyway, do you guys think I've done anything wrong?
