This would be one of those "weird but not Weird" ones I guess, there's nothing supernatural in it, but the world protrayed is certainly strange.
I liked it, but in retrospect it perhaps wasn't the best nomination for the Deep Ones.

No, it wasn't really weird, but I enjoyed it. Having recently read Tom Holland's Rubicon and Dynasty, I thought the story was inspired by the status competition of Ancient Rome. We have Triumphs, the populari, and three part names -- though those could have been inspired by the sort of colorful names you find in histories of the American West, i.e. Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody. However, the names don't closely correspond to the Roman naming system.

I would agree that this doesn't feel "Weird". It feels, rather, like precisely what it is: straight forward science fiction from the 1950s, marked as such (I'd suggest) by the psychological focus of the story. A slightly heavy-handed psychology perhaps. I don't suppose William Shatner ever did a reading for this story? That would bring out Bellamy's inner turmoil...

Good spot about the Classical Roman origins of the 21st century society presented here.
