HEY BABY, LET'S DANCE!
or. somehow. my cassius-trebonius sales pitch. like. it's kind of romantic if you think about it! trebonius, a caesarian, had a conspiracy to assassinate caesar, and on the other side of things: cassius' conspiracy with the same end goal, and at some point those two conspiracies came together. and to top it off, cassius is the hand of justice sent by rome to avenge trebonius' death! talk about themes!
