I couldn't agree more. Cato ignores everything positive and twists the facts to make Caesar look bad. I'm sorry but his arguments are well written but baseless. Somehow he turned a great conqueror into a raving lunatic that won all his battles by luck or divine intervention. Give credit where it is due, look at his record, no Roman general conquered as much as he did. All the emperors must have been ignorant to adopt Caesar's name. I guess you have to make comments like the one Cato and Dionysos made when you can't make a sensible argument.

I think we all agree that the republic system was good in building Rome internally and attarcting various allies from the region but Rome needed men like Caesar and Augustus to take them to the next level.

Cato, your blind hatred for Caesar causes you to make irrational conclusions, you cannot discredit every single achievement of his. You don't defeat so many enemies by accident, every task Caesar set out to do he completed successfully, the only reason he was not successful at the end was as you mentioned he was brutally assassinated and that was not his fault. The senate and the elite were not ready for change, it took his murder to finally set the stage for Octavian to do his thing. In every revolution there is a martyr and Caesar's blood had to be spilled for Rome to change.

I guess since all the emperors took his name, then they must all be pretenders.
