Civil War had recently occurred in Rome; however, with the triumverate that Pompey, Crassus, and I have just formed together, we shall seize power in Rome. And with that power, we shall make Rome great and stop this civil war. I believe that this year, 60 B.C., shall be the mark of the beginning of great success.
When you invited me to join in the Triumvirate I refused because i thought you would try to undermine the Republic.

I, as one of the members in the Triumvirate, was saved from the Senate's hatred against powerful individuals and gave much popularity to us, while Crassus mainly funded us.

I think that this triumvirate will help Rome a lot. I hope you do great things with this power, Caesar. Civil wars are never a good thing that happens so hopefully you will be able to stop it with your power. Do good with the power!

Watch out for Cassius, he thinks too much!
ReplyDeleteThank you, intelligent and noble Cleopatra, for your encouragement. I, as the great Julius Caesar, will try to do all the good I can with my power.
