This doesn't really work 2bh since Augustus doesn't get horribly burned by lava after a duel with his former best friend.

No what are you talking about this is a direct quotation from a dialogue between Augustus and Mark Antony.

When I was made to read the Shakespeare play in high school, I never understood that Caesar and Brutus were like father and son. I didn't understand the politics of anything.
The thought of Caesar seeing Brutus holding a knife, feeling betrayed by a man he loves like family in his final moments as he utters the infamous line, et tu, Brute?
And when he sees that yes, it is part of Brutus's design that he should die for the good of the many, he gives in to Brutus's judgment. "Then fall, Caesar," - a reconciliation, trusting in Brutus's judgement even if it meant his own death. Not like he could stop it by that point, but basically accepting Brutus's betrayal and still loving him the same.
That line fucking guts me to the core.

Yeah because the Roman mob and barbarian subjects were so free under an oligarchy. Face it, the empire just meant that instead of a few men it was one man.

My augury tells me that Jupiter is going to curse you and give that psychotic fuck Tiberius the purple. Then Caligula will get it. It will be great...

>psychotic fuck Tiberius
What did I ever so wrong?
Don't worry about it, I'll stay at my villa and let Sejanus run Rome. He seems like an honest guy. What could go wrong?
I got the true son of Germanicus, Caligula ready to be heir. I'm sure butchering his family in show trials didn't fuck him up too badly.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm done with these maidens and fresh young boys and there is a cliff out back I need to show them.
