#julia caesar

Julia Caesaris is so overlooked it makes me wanna scream. She managed to have a happy marriage in a time when that just wasn't much of a thing. Given Cleopatra spent 3 years as a tween in her house we can only assume she mentored the future Pharaoh or at the very least provided tons of information on the Caesars given that's her gens and Julius is her dad so you just know Cleopatra sponged up all this info and used it a few years later when she went to Caesar for help. She was a patroness of the arts and got her husband into them and her death changes the entire course of western history.

Like her death has a greater impact on our world today than Cleopatra's did but absolutely no one talks about her

I love showing Xena episodes to someone new who's never really watched the show and infodumping my many amazing Xena facts upon their increasingly disbelieving ears

My personal favorite fact about Julia being that after doing everything she was told even though Dad had her locked up as a kid and even after having a load of kids per dads edicts he STILL tries to run her life and make her marry somebody who hates her even more than she hates him and like a badass has revenge sex with the son of her dad's most famous enemy ON THE ROSTRA

Thinking about how when the people asked Augustus to bring his daughter Julia back from exile his response was basically “Do you want a thot daughter too???”

augustus: "there's a month called august?"

octavius: "there's also a month called october"

jed: "and also a july"

julia: "nice"

Where is his month

Livia Drusilla

(30 January 58 BCE - 29 CE)

In the purity of her home life, she was of the ancient type but was more gracious than was thought fitting in ladies of former days. An imperious mother and an amiable wife, she was a match for the diplomacy of her husband and the dissimulation of her son. – Tacitus, Annals, V.1

Any history geeks on Tumblr, do you think the relationship between Jaehaerys and his daughter Saera resembles that of the historical figures Emperor Augustus and his daughter Julia the Elder?

I'm normally the last person to feel bad for Julius Caesar but... The man lost his mother and his daughter within less than a month of each other. Which means message service being what it was back then, he more than likely heard about both around the same time. Like the same packet of dispatches probably carried both letters. Can you imagine? The woman who stood between you and a dictator and the woman who's currently your main anchor to security in Rome both gone. It can't have been a great time for Julius' mental health and I just wanna give him a hug wrap him in blankets and make him cups of tea and maybe make him promise not to get all dictator-ey...

-------

Because Lord knows Aurelia would have absolutely called him on that crap. Can you imagine? He gets to the Rubicon and it's just Aurelia wearing mourning clothes giving him pointed looks over the distress he's caused. I strongly feel the whole "I'm not mad at you for disappointing me I'm just gonna be dramatic about it until you feel bad and do the right thing" mind game tactic that Julius used on his troops whenever they were reluctant or mutinying is something he definitely learned at home from his mom.

i feel like we're not talking enough about the blink and you miss it moment in the 'go back to the club' conversation in which caesar flashes the cover of siddharta from the bottom of the screen just so that the audience can see the Intelligent Reference

casuals from the dragon show watching domina for tom glynn carney (and by all means, bask with me in the wasted casting) means i now see takes about "team scribonia" vs "team livia" like, imma be real neither scribonia nor livia were making it to the top three of people octavian cared about most, and i say that as someone who finds his relationship with both interesting on their own merits
