Quotes by Debra May Macleod  (?)

“Yet Cicero’s ultimate desire was for peace and order to be restored to Rome. He had calculated that the new Caesar was the man most likely to make that happen and so had begrudgingly thrown his support behind Octavian; however, that clearly hadn’t protected him from Antony’s wrath.”
Debra May Macleod, Brides of Rome

“The Vestal took another sip of the cucumber water, hoping it would help her face cool from the quiet confrontation. Livia had retreated, but she wouldn’t wait long to advance again. They both knew it.”
Debra May Macleod, Brides of Rome

“can see how you’d like to take credit for that, Claudia,” said Livia, “but she didn’t do it for a man. The woman is sexless. It was a quid pro quo between her and Caesar. She gave him Antony’s will, and he agreed that any future accusations of incestum against a Vestal would be dealt with under a fairer process by the Pontifex Maximus and the quaestio. She probably thinks it’s better than relying on miracles.”
Debra May Macleod, Brides of Rome
