I feel like half of Caesar’s military career was just being in impossible situations and getting out of them anyway.
When you go to Egypt to see an old friend but accidently take the king hostage and cause riots in the whole city.
Can you imagine being so convincing that you can talk your way into Julius Caesar room during a siege
I broke out laughing seeing caeser remember all the fond memories of an orange square
"It's not exactly a subtle nickname, but it's the name that historians still use" Well, anything is better than another Ptolemy
I love how Marc Anthony "making a big ol' mess" is shown by his square spinning around. It's like his entire political approach is to just flail around in circles.
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!!!
The idea of Cæsar getting wasted while locked inside the royal palace was so f*cking funny until I realised that this is exactly what I've been doing for the last few months of lockdown.
RIP Pompey, you beautiful orange square.
Legend has it that Caesarion went on to open a pizza chain that still lives on today.
When you get a girl pregnant so you have to give her Cyprus as child support
As Caesar swims through the harbor, unarmored clutching various papers while bodies float around him fires rage in the distance.
"What was Caesar doing?"
"Lingering in Egypt had probably been a mistake."
Love the rotating symbols for panic and dumb decisions! You're doing a great job at characterizing rectangles.
You know Caesar was a badass when he mission impossible style ditches his armor and swims the entire harbor length while protecting his valuable maps from getting wet.
Cleopatra: exists
"with his flawless Latin accent"
Caesars vacations in Egypt:
"Everytime Caesar removed himself from the equation, things began to crumble." Why do I feel like this is foreshadowing just how much the post-war peace relied on Caesar not being brutally stabbed to death on the Senate floor?
