This thread is for your favorite historical examples of Machiavellian cleverness.
"In the third century the Roman emperor Aurelian had a private secretary, named Eros, who had incurred
his master’s anger and was about to be punished. To forestall the outcome, he forged a list of names of political
leaders whom the emperor had supposedly decided to have executed for treason and put the forged list
into circulation. The men on the list rose up and assassinated the emperor."
