You can call me TC

.. but I was just browsing through the list and wondered what is the feminine form for:

Nihili est - in vita priore ego imperator romanus fui
(That's nothing; in a previous life I was a Roman Emperor)

And wouldn't it be less cumbersome if you left out the "ego"?

I'd ask my husband (who's a Latin teacher) but he wouldn't get the point of all this.

Substitute "imperatrix romana"

Leave out ego if you like.
