The last few days Sol is suddenly awake.

This was the absorption effect of an X2.2 event tonight.

Imp. Caesar divi fil. / Augustus / pontifex maximus / imp. XII cos XI trib pot XIV / Aegypto in potestatem / populi romani redacta / soli donum dedit.

The emperor, Caesar, son of the deified Julius Caesar, August, pontifex maximus, proclaimed imperator for the twelfth time, consul for the eleventh time, holding tribunician power for the fourteenth time, having subdued Egypt to the power of the Roman people, gave this gift to the sun.

That's a strange coincidence to recent events...
