Caesar: "The best way to die is suddenly and unexpectedly."
Decimus: "Bruh..."

[sunderzilla]

I will miss little red square Caesar, the way he would shimmy around the room and such, occasionally spinning when he got angry, or bouncing up and down when he was happy.

Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti

This was the 23rd video about Caesar, which is also the exact amount of times Caesar was stabbed.

[OneAngrehCat]

I find it perfectly fateful that Caesar's luck protected and warned him on every step of the way, while his vanity and ambition attracted him to his death.

[whynot-tomorrow_]

The poetic irony that the false offer of kingship was the one thing to finally condemn Caesar is so perfect it's hard to believe.

Julius caesar: so how do i die?
Time traveler: surrounded by friends...

[bguy]

Brutus: "We did it guys! We saved the Republic!"

Octavian: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."

Caesar’s assassination be like

[charlesgovea]

Me: Why’d you do it?
Brutus: To save the republic
Me: What did it cost?
Brutus: The republic

The end of an era :(


R.I.P. to Historia Civilis's Julius Caesar series.

[localneo-graphic]

You know you're a bad assassin when you try to stab a defenseless target from behind, and he's just like 'bro, what are you doing, we're trying to legislate here, ' and he just pushes you away. What's even worse is he seems like the most motivated of all of them.

decimus’s lie about the title of king was honestly genius. i can’t imagine how stressful that lie must have been

[royalkelin]

That thing about Decimus going to a friendly meal with Caesar and him talking about death is so mind boggling to me. The self control you need to have to not spill the beans in such a situation.

[cleothehermetichermeticist]

“It relies on the strength of some nerdy ass senators.”


A quote I didn’t know I wanted to hear but I’m glad I did.

[ardaunaltay]

I just love it that even though everyone is literally squares it is much more impressive and enchanting than most other documentaries.

[alessiofe]

Fun fact: Caesar's body was brought to his home where a doctor made the first reported extensive post mortem examination in history. The doctor discovered that only one stab was deep enough to kill, the others were little more than superficial cuts.

[perrycarters]

The interesting thing about Decimus' lie about the King title is that if Caesar STILL stayed home after, it may have swayed Decimus' opinion on whether Caesar wanted to be acknowledged as king.
Sadly for Caesar, temptation reveals the darkest parts of us all.

[gammie]

imagine getting stabbed countless times by your homies after staying up late hungover and getting countless red flags

[alexcross]

Caesar *dying on the floor*: "Did you guys ask Tribune Aquilla for permission to kill me?"

[DB-jiye]

And here I am, again, on March 15th. Smh still can’t believe he’s gone
