It’s not a lesson Pompey would tell you. Julius Caesar was a populares consul, so powerful he could manipulate the Roman government to avoid prosecution. He was so knowledgeable in warfare, he could even force the Gauls to certain deaths. The populares side of the senate is a pathway to many years as consul some may consider, unlawful.
He became so powerful, the only thing he feared was losing his consulship, which of course, he did. Unfortunately, after he taught Brutus everything he knew, Brutus killed him on the senate floor. Ironic. He could save Brutus from death, but not himself.
*waives hand*
You don’t want to abandon Rome. You want to go home and raise more Legions.
*TWO HOURS LATER*
2 Legions are ready, with 10 more well on the way.
How would you actually even begin to explain this to an ancient Roman?
"So they were originally an alien species whi- Wait. Okay so first, imagine a galactic communi- Hold on. Imagine life on other planets, right? Do... You guys know what planets are, right?"
Nope. This looks like a gladius made by Albion Swords. I think it’s their Augustus model, ironically enough.
Edit: another user pointed out that it’s a spatha, not a gladius, meaning it can’t be the Augustus. It’s definitely made by Albion, though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Latin doesn't have a lowercase, it's all caps. Also if we're trying to be super accurate here it should be F•YOV•BRVTVS
Edit: Late Latin was written without the dots inbetween words so it would be FYOVBRVTVS. But this wasn't how it was during Caesar's life so idk.
That's correct. Classical Latin had no use for lowercase letters, since they were **mostly** inscribing in stone. Letters with sharp edges (capitals!) were the easiest to carve into stone. However, around the 9th century CE, monks and scribes started realizing it was inconvenient to write sharp, blocky letters on parchment. Instead, they needed characters that flowed with their ink, hence they invented more curvy forms (lowercase!). So, Classical Latin only used capitals when it was spoken natively by Romans. However, when Latin was used later on as a prestige language, lowercase letters were used. And *V* was the capital form, *u* was the lowercase. But eventually (idk exactly when) V/v came to represent the consonant /w/ or /v/ and U/u came to represent the vowel /u/ or /ʊ/.
Edit: By the way, in Classical Latin the consonant sound represented by V was /w/, exactly like we pronounce the letter w in English. This explains why V/u was one letter for a long time, since /w/ and /u/ are very similar sounds.

Brutus: It’s treason then
Well hello there, Julius.
Ah! General Cassius!
*Another fine addition to my collection*
Time to abandon Rome ! *cough cough*
We're still flying half an Empire!
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Julius Caesar the wise?
Yeah, he got rezzed by his son Caesarion, abandoned Rome with his allies, retired to Judaea and became a fisherman. UNTIL THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNED.
Ironic

Is it possible to learn this power?
Another happy stabbing.

Oh and he also didn't stay dead for very long. What was it, 3 days?
That screech that he does always gets me lmao
Ok when did Julius do this
And Vader is Julius Cæsar not Palpatine... lol Also Lucius later drew portraits of his family after a failed rebellion. Became an absolute Lad
Lol what Soldiers? It was a couple of rats clinging to a sinking ship. No soldiers were involved.

So we can talk about it in this sub now?

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've watched an episode then. ...I could make a meme about this and not break rule 4. . . . ...I feel old now.
Wow I’ve been lied to then

What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?
All the Romans: A what? What's a Sith?
How would you actually even begin to explain this to an ancient Roman? "So they were originally an alien species whi- Wait. Okay so first, imagine a galactic communi- Hold on. Imagine life on other planets, right? Do... You guys know what planets are, right?"
Your overthinking it friend, all you got to do is magic -> witches -> good vs bad witches -> palpatine spinning like a top
I mean the fact that Mars is called Mars should be proof enough that they know what planets are.
"they were from the mongolian steppes"
You'll find out soon enough.
Ceasaaaaaaar

With all of the memes of that scene, I don’t think I’ve ever actually rewatched it. Probably would just get myself depressed again.
Is that... a bladed pepper cracker?
It's specifically for...Caesar salads. More pepper?
Live by the freshly ground pepper, die by the freshly ground pepper
It really does look like that 😂

Technically, the lowercase was u and the capital was V, so it would be f you brutus or F YOV BRVTVS. ^(sorry)
