tbqh I have no idea if that's actually true. It's just one of those pieces of historical trivia I've 'known' forever.

You can assume that every historical quote is fake or misconstrued.

Of course not. He would have known how to use the vocative.

Wanted to say this. OP is a pleb.

Just take comfort in DEUS VULT. Definitely probably not real.

>Julius Caesar never said "et tu Brutus"
That's right, he said kαὶ σὺ, τέkνον like the Greekaboo he was

But Thermopylae totally happened.

>>916881
But that fight scene sucked

Look up Giles Corey, who died in the Salem Witch trials without pleading guilty or innocent, to take advantage of a loophole which meant he wouldn't forfeit his estate, therefore allowing his sons to inherit it upon his death. He spent three days under boards being weighed down by more and more stones, only replying "More weight," every time officials came to ask him how he plead.

>>917138

He was 81.

>>917138

Also officially documented and witnessed to have happened.

Otho killed himself to prevent civil war. That was pretty cool.

> the best death in history

The French king that got shanked in the guts, pulled out the knife and said 'do I look like I give a shit?' then stabbed his assassin to death trumps Caesar.

Since Roman nobility communicated in ancient greek, he would have said "Kai su, teknon" anyways. Or something like that. Pls dont hate on my ancient greek, dunno how to write that shit

Tfw you'll never know if any of those Diogenes stories are true.

>>917515
you mean the one that said
"What are you afraid of men? At this range they couldn't even hit an elephurgh"

>>917828
>yfw none of them are true and diogenes was just some bum philosophers built a meme around, to his dismay

>>915613

>et tu brutus

it's "tu quoque brute"

but it was in greek anyway

>>915613
According to the Romans, he didn't say anything.

well in the lives of the twelve caesars suetonius says that julius yelled out "this is violence' as he was stabbed, but when he saw brutus with a knife in his hands he fell silent and did not utter any other sounds again as he died
it also talks about some kind of curse upon the perpetrators saying that they all died soon and violent deaths so idk how real it is

also you niggers need to read more books, this whole board feels like its filled with plebian youtube/facebook fags

I've read 12 caesars and histories and annals, is there any other core reading on antique, and preferably bronze age periods? Even though I read those books I feel like my knowledge of the period is very "spotty"

>>917903
Not true, Suetonius notes that some people day he said "kai sy, teknon;" ("and you, child?") in Greek.

"As he took his seat, the conspirators gathered about him as if to pay their respects, and straightway Tillius Cimber, who had assumed the lead, came nearer as though to ask something; and when Caesar with a gesture put him off to another time, Cimber caught his toga by both shoulders; then as Caesar cried, "Why, this is violence!" one of the Cascas stabbed him from one side just below the throat. Caesar caught Casca's arm and ran it through with his stylus, but as he tried to leap to his feet, he was stopped by another wound. When he saw that he was beset on every side by drawn daggers, he muffled his head in his robe, and at the same time drew down its lap to his feet with his left hand, in order to fall more decently, with the lower part of his body also covered. And in this wise he was stabbed with three and twenty wounds, uttering not a word, but merely a groan at the first stroke, though some have written that when Marcus Brutus rushed at him, he said in Greek, "You too, my child?" All the conspirators made off, and he lay there lifeless for some time, and finally three common slaves put him on a litter and carried him home, with one arm hanging down. And of so many wounds none turned out to be mortal, in the opinion of the physician Antistius, except the second one in the breast."

>>918143
*say, not day

Caesar spoke nothing and covered himself with his toga as a last resort of being a "People hero" figure.

Also, who is the girl in OPs pic? 11/10. Where can I find girls like her?
