Death Of Augustus


P.Clodius

Recommended Posts

I think Ceasar played a wonderful joke on the so-called "Good Men". He knew the kind of person Octavius would grow up to be. He knew that of all the things he told Octavius the one that was always rejected was sparing the enemy and giving them another chance to stab you in the back. Ceasar gave everyone a chance to come to his side and help to build a new Rome, to the point of forgiving the ones like Cassius who latedr helped killed him, and Cicero who did no good at all for either side. Ceasar must have known how Octavius looked up to him and i think he knew that if anything happened to him (Ceasar) then the senate would have a whole new Nemesis to deal with. Sure enough, once the dust settled, most of the reforms of Ceasar were carried out while the bones of those who argued against him rotted.
