Julius Caesar in Gual
.
Now the year 58 B.C., I have become governor of Gaul as I appointed myself to becoming so. My goal is to conquer Gaul in order to bring more fame, power, and prosperity to Rome. I know that a long, difficult journey lies ahead, but nothing is too great of a challenge for I, Julius Caesar, to overcome for the sake of Rome!

Careful Caesar, you may anger the Senate with your somewhat traitorous words. You seem too proud and strong for them and some fear you may want too much power.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will succeed in conquering Gaul, and when I hopefully conquer the Parthians, we will make Rome a greater power.

When you were assassinated by the senators, you were killed in my stone theater, at the base of my bust, which is the first stone theater in Rome.

Description: This primary source by Plutarch gives a very detailed account on the life of Pompey.
Brutus, good loyal, trustworthy Brutus, I am no traitor to Rome, and it is true that I look for power, but the power I seek is the power to help Rome and make it a greater place.
ReplyDeleteYes, Crassus, let us make Rome greater together!
ReplyDeletePompey, although that may be true, you still do not know what my thoughts were to my death. I died in glory after attaining absolute power and countless titles. You died after being constantly defeated by me, the great Caesar. You were minimized into feeing to Egypt, but there you were killed (without my approval.)
