Status Updates From The Twelve Caesars (Classics)

start of Octavius’ story

julius got assassinated. some said it’s just he died because he just dgaf anymore, some said he’s old and bit sick. the people apparently didn’t hate him, at least not as much as they would approve of him being murdered. the co conspirators way of killing were harsh. he also ignored all the bad omens and haruspex’s warning. all the bad guys died no longer than 3 years(?) after his murder. most tragic deaths.

tried to revive the king title, his assassination plan is coming, during the election, when he called for a meeting at an unusual place

he treat his army very well, they’re very brave, legions are super strong cuz of that and how they are loyal to each other. he always referred to them as comrades, so once, to face the mutineers, the ninth? legion? he referred them as civilians and they immediately bow down or smth and beg caesar and said, we are your army and begged to fight for him in africa, but is said that caesar never gave in to that ask.

ranking emperors so far based on unclear factors

1) Caesar: the GOAT but cmon he couldve taken on all 60 senators at once he just couldn't care less.
best assassination of all time though.
2)) Augustus: chose thot daughter over gay son.
3) Caligula: evil but points for probably assassinating tiberius. +played by malcom mcdowell
4) tiberius: pedo who enjoys holidaying too much
