Realized that I should have clarified in the Caesar quiz that the Nicomedes one is implying that Caesar was Nicomedes’ bottom boytoy, it’s another bottom accusation one
#vanquished here meaning he was allegedly getting it in the jussy#sorry#this claim also included the assertion that caesar was called 'the queen of bithynia'#also ALLEGEDLY (it's suetonius so) cicero got pissy @caesar once and was like (paraphrased and in translation)#'it's well known what he gave you and what you gave him in turn'#'him' being king Nicomedes#that these things or something similar were said is likely enough#that they were true? less so#but there might be some truth to these accusations who knows#it's just that it's being recounted by suetonius et al.#and that these sorts of accusations were common political slander#i think catullus got in on it also but that's catullus so sedrfghj#or maybe caesar was 100% bottoming it up who knows sdfghj#but i can't just say historical claims as if they're true i am a proper historian not some tik tok nightmare#ides of march
