You’ll make a lot of men very angry with your Gauls and your Celts and your plebs and such. l’ll have to double your guard.
marcus antonius ( 14 january 83 bce - 2 august 30 bce )
O, wither’d is the garland of the war!
The soldier’s pole is fall'n; young boys and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable
Beneath the visiting moon. (xv iv.)
favorite recurring theme in hbo rome: antony’s complete inability to sit properly in the senate

These are the words of Gaius Julius Caesar, direct descendant of Venus, proconsul of Gaul, glorious imperator of the northern legions. Citizens, I have returned to Italy with the sole intention of claiming my legal and moral rights. I have no desire for unlawful powers. I will name no man an enemy who does not so declare himself. Even so, the property of those enemies will not be appropriated and their person will remain inviolate as long as their opposition be peaceful. Moreover, to any man that has taken arms against me and now regrets it, I gladly offer total amnesty. However, those that continue to use violence to oppose my legal rights, they shall receive that which they seek to give. Under the auspices of Jupiter Capitolinus, these are the words of Gaius Julius Caesar.
That was your worry, wasn’t it? That Caesar’d turn out to be just another tyrant sort? But here’s him and Mark Antony getting jobs for the unemployed. You can’t complain about that now, can you?
