#little caesar and the romans

[djevilninja]

I always will treasure them so close to my heart; They always will haunt me although we're apart. Each time that I hear them a tear's bound to fall, For I love those memories that I, I-I recall.

Little Caesar & the Romans - Those Oldies but Goodies (Remind Me of You)

refusing to be undone.

Atia Balba, niece to Julius Caesar, died only a year after his assassination, and was survived by her two children, Octavia the Younger and Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, who she had named Gaius Octavius at birth. Both her son and daughter would outlive her by several years.

A brief summary of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty

Octavian/Augustus - he has a reputation associated with peace but you will get a little ill once you look at all the collateral damage around him and that reputation ie. It's easy to institute a regime of peace when you've murdered everyone who might oppose you

Tiberius - when a chronic people pleaser finally get into a position of power and still no one thinks they're good enough and they finally reach burnout and fuck off to their vacation home indefinitely

Caligula - the first emperor in the long litany of reasons why people whose brain has not fully developed should NOT be given access to unlimited power. Little Boots is either insane or the absolute champion at taking the piss out of the elite and there isn't really a third option

Claudius - an icon for overcoming disability and bullying and knowing how to delegate administration appropriately. Also this man gave his wives a lot of mobility (for the time) so we stan in spite of the sources trying to smear him for that very thing. Also this man was SUCH a nerd and I wish they hadn't destroyed his history of the Civil Wars but that's the Augustan propaganda machine for ya even near kin isn't safe from censorship

Nero - take one traumatic childhood add a flare for the dramatic and then give them unlimited power before their brain is fully developed and now it's like Caligula but with more pizzazz. Nero is literally what happens when that obnoxious rich kid who's into theater gets absolutely unlimited money and power and nothing to curtail his flare for a spectacle.

Mark Antony (Portrayed by Jassuy Chop Suey) reading Julius Caesar's last will and testament, only to be shocked to learn that they were not chosen as Caesar's primary heir.

The contents of Julius Caesar's last will and testament shocked those who opened it. In it Caesar wanted:

1. Every adult male citizen to recieve the equivalent of three months wages - to be taken from his own personal wealth.

2. To give to the Roman people one of his estates and have it converted into a public park.

3. 75% of Caesar's remaining wealth was to go to Octavian, who was to be Caesar's primary heir. The remaining 25% would go to Octavian's cousins.

4. Mark Antony and Decimus (One of those involved in Caesar's assassination) would be secondary heirs.

5. Caesar shall adopt Octavian as his son, thus entitling the latter to use the powerful and prestigous name of Caesar.

Thank you good people of Twitter for this idea

[marciliedonato]

Maybe the Roman senate forgot to celebrate pi(e) day and stabbed Caesar bc you're not yourself when you're hungry... Honestly perfectly understandable... That said stab Caesar anyway he's kind of a little bitch and his vibes are off

I HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT MISTER AUGUSTUS OCTAVIAN/OCTAVIUS GAIUS CAESAR SINCE 8TH GRADE. HOW AM I STILL LEARNING MORE THINGS ABOUT HIM THAT MAKE ME GO "octavius babe holy shit what the fuck what the FUCK dude"

[caterpillarinacave]

I don’t think people grasp just how much of a lunatic Caesar was

[thetwofaced]

I can not stress how much I adore that this hellsite made the collective decision to celebrate the fact that someone went all stabby McStab stab on Julius Ceasare on the 15th of March of 59 BCE.
