The panel here is essentially ancient Rome wearing a modern postal code — an absurdly over-indexed Consul count that amounts to the entire Roman Republic's senatorial class filed under one place, with a Soldier bench running at nearly fourteen times the global baseline to supply the legions. The outsized Daughter multiplier is the dynastic-marriage machinery of Republican and early Imperial Rome, and the Militar bump catches the generals who outranked the rest. Late-Republic political theater, geocoded to the seven hills.
