Marcus Tullius Cicero is the funniest name to polish people because "tullius" means "hugging" (tulić) and "cicero" means "boobies" (cyce).

So to Polish classicist his name basically means... Marcus The Boobie Hugger

cassius and trebonius are interesting because there's about three or four different variations on how their dynamic falls into place that exist in my mind, and all are equally compelling to me. like, does cassius approach him first? or is it trebonius that seeks him out. maybe cicero is the one who initiates the first meeting! I could make full comics about each of them if only there was time.

this one, however, is much more balanced in that they don't really seek each other out for conspiracy, but conspiracy creeps in on it's own. brutus is a character here, theoretically. like, I thought about him when I was writing this, and cicero is here for two panels.

also, it's funny to me if they both stay up late complaining about caesar for six hours straight because caesar fucked them over on the political ladder in comparable ways, but also (in reference to (Plutarch, Brutus 8)):

cassius, 4am: and he took my fucking lions, man. trebonius, immediately: do you want me to kill him for you

it's like. aughghhhhh. weeping. wailing. can we talk about how trebonius is identified in association with cassius here.

Rome and Parthia: Empires at War, Gareth C. Sampson

and in turn, it is cassius who will act as retribution personified in the matter of trebonius' death

in today's letter: cicero gets the band (assassins) back together! cicero's speech is interrupted by cassius! cassius is ready to kill! brutus continues to be kind of pathetic! everyone talks shit about decimus brutus! servilia promises to get a senatorial decree changed! cicero hates the whole thing, and wants to leave italy entirely! he worries that time is running out—and he doesn’t know that it is!
