Roman Senate votes to add “mildly educational scrolls” to bread and circuses

Illustration (satirical, editorial style) of the Roman Senate interior at dawn: marble hall, senators in white togas with purple stripes arguing across curved benches, one senator holding up a scroll labeled “LEX PAMPHLETIA,” another clutching a loaf of bread, and a tiny model circus arena on the floor; include a side gag of two philosophers in the background squaring up as if to fistfight beneath a banner reading “IS DAWN REAL?” Warm sunrise light slanting through high windows, dust motes visible, busy crowded composition.
