CASCA so why in the dead of night instead of during daylight?

TREBONIUS (before Cassius can speak) Antony and Brutus are busy fighting for the spot of Caesar’s favorite little political pet and it’s annoying to watch

CASSIUS —I wouldn’t phrase it like that

TREBONIUS yes, because you’ve been in love with one of them for your whole life, so I’m saying it for you. You’re welcome.

conspiracy, baby! or maybe just some guys talking outside at a suspicious hour.

Since we know Trebonius was a horse. Do you think Antony. Do you think Antony rode him?

ANTONY: if Caesar doesn't set Sextius Baculus up in a house worthy of Lucullus for all that he did, I'll kill him myself.

so the fun thing about the Caesarians is that there is. weird stuff happening in there. a lot of focus seems to go towards non Caesarian dissent, specifically with the conspiracy of Cassius and Brutus, but there's like. stuff going on in Caesar's own camp that's very Intriguing.

There's a couple places where you can see some clear points that would be grounds for a conspiratorial falling out between Caesar and Trebonius, but from the way that Trebonius tries to seduce Antony over to conspiracy, I wonder if there was a secret third thing that was going on since Antony turned him down but. didn't snitch intriguing!

anyway, all of this is to say that this means I get to invent some shit. like, I'm drawing comics which is already invention, but this is one where I get to really start throwing stuff into the narrative soup because it has to set up three different character arcs (Trebonius, and then Antony twice)

(in theory, this would be explained in the story itself if I did the entirety of the Gallic Wars out as a comic. which I have not done because I do not want to draw horses. I wanted to fuck around with some panel layouts and not draw a single horse, so now I will provide the context and revisit this in the future)

Antony's comment about Trebonius running himself into a grave has to do with the Caesar's Gallic Wars have a lot of men doing a whole lot for Caesar that has me going. hey. hey guys. uh.

specifically, Sextius Baculus:

The War for Gaul, Julius Caesar (trans James J. O'Donnell)

and the closing comment from Antony is playing on several things: romans claiming gods on their family tree (see: Legendary Genealogies in Late-Republican Rome, T.P. Wiseman for more on this) and then divinization arc of Caesar and Octavian. Antony himself will later be taking part the same kind of god-association that has prompted his disdain in this scene

At any rate, when Antony made his entry into Ephesus, women arrayed like Bacchanals, and men and boys like Satyrs and Pans, led the way before him, and the city was full of ivy and thyrsus-wands and harps and pipes and flutes, the people hailing him as Dionysus Giver of Joy and Beneficent. For he was such, undoubtedly, to some; but to the greater part he was Dionysus Carnivorous and Savage.

Plutarch, Antony 24

and the second layer of thematic fun: Antony's later relationship with his soldiers is something similar to what Caesar had with his here, but ultimately: decayed. Antony's love affair with his military makes his failure to lead well at the end a worse betrayal. at some point I'll talk about Antony's Tormentous Military Nightmare and cite some academic sources, but Linda Bamber's description of the final tragedy of Antony and his men lives in my head rent free

Cleopatra and Antony, Linda Bamber

where's the fun in doing identity focused tragedy if you don't become unrecognizable to yourself later on! isn't that right mark antony

Gaius julius caesar documentary

#Gaius julius caesar documentary trial

Marc Antony was a problem for another day. To murder the man whose power and position were eroding the ideas of the Republic. Their sole aim was to kill Caesar, the dictator. But Marcus Brutus, according to the likes of Appian and Cassius Dio, convinced them not to. Interestingly, some of the conspirators, such as Cassius, had wanted to kill Marc Antony along with Caesar at the senate meeting. Sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey back to Rome on the Ides of March 44BC. Soon after, Caesar would enter the meeting room and be greeted by a bloody coup. It was his mission to separate Marc Antony from Caesar. But like Decimus, he too had grown disillusioned with Caesar, he too had joined the conspiracy against the dictator. He had served alongside Caesar, Marc Antony and Decimus Brutus since the Gallic Wars. Trebonius was another longstanding ally of Caesar. It was there that Gaius Trebonius, an old ally of Marc Antony, pulled the consul aside to discuss some pressing matters. But outside the Theatre, his and Caesar’s paths would diverge. At that time, Marc Antony held the office of consul: he was one of the most powerful men in Rome beneath Caesar, and had intended to attend the meeting. Marc Antony, Caesar’s right-hand man, did not accompany Caesar into the meeting. The Senate meeting room was situated in the Theatre of Pompey, which itself was located in the Campus Martius, one of the key centres of ancient Rome. This is the story of how the most famous assassination in ancient history unfolded. In the Senate, Pompey must defend the prolonged absence of his friend and co-Consul Caesar against charges of corruption.In the afternoon of 15 March 44 BC, the Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar entered the Senate meeting room where he met his doom. He's saddened however when he receives news from his good friend Pompey Magnus that his daughter, Pompey's wife, has died in childbirth. With his campaign in Gaul coming to a successful conclusion, Caesar's popularity is continuing to grow. 'The Stolen Eagle.' In Gaul in 52 B.C., two Roman soldiers, Legionary Titus Pullo and Centurion Lucius Vorenus, are tasked with recovering Julius Caesar's personal Eagle, stolen from his camp in the dead of night. In this historical drama, the turbulent transition from Roman republic to autocratic empire, which changed world history through civil war and wars of conquest, is sketched both from the aristocratic viewpoint of Julius Caesar, his family, his adopted successor Octavian Augustus, and their political allies and adversaries, and from the politically naive viewpoint of a few ordinary Romans, notably the soldiers Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo and their families. In the process, she reveals a more intriguing portrait of not just the monster, but the man. Above all, she explains why Caligula has ended up with such a seemingly unredeemable reputation. Piecing together the evidence, Mary puts Caligula back into the context of his times to reveal an astonishing story of murder, intrigue and dynastic family power.

#Gaius julius caesar documentary trial

Such as in the extraordinary luxury of his private yachts outside Rome in the designs he chose for his coins when he became Emperor in an eye-witness account of Caligula's withering humour written in 41AD the trial documents covering the mysterious death of his father when he was just seven-years-old and even in a record of his imperial slaves - from the palace spy to his personal trainer. Some stories are difficult to get to the bottom of as they were written by hacks long after his death, but there is plenty of surviving evidence where the 'real' Caligula can be glimpsed. All that in just four short years in power before a violent and speedy assassination in a back alley of his own palace at just 28-years-old." But how much of his story is true? Travelling across the Roman world - from Germany and Capri in the bay of Naples to the astonishing luxury of his life in imperial Rome - Mary attempts to peel away the myths. He was said to have made his horse a consul, proclaimed himself a living God, and indulged in scandalous orgies - even with his own three sisters - and that's before you mention building vast bridges across land and sea, prostituting senators' wives and killing half the Roman elite seemingly on a whim. Caligula has now become known as Rome's most capricious tyrant, and the stories told about him are some of the most extraordinary told about any Roman emperor. Professor Mary Beard embarks on an investigative journey to explore the life and times of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - better known to us as Caligula. Two thousand years ago one of history's most notorious individuals was born.

Senatorial beauty contest

(stealing the idea of @catominor ) but only with the senators who have absolutely nothing in common. Definitely not a conspiracy.
