Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Julius Caesar - Blog Posts
With the Ides of March coming up, I think it's only fair we celebrate it in a more traditional sense.
So, ladies, which leader are we stabbing?
Magic Item Idea
Paper Knife
Description: A piece of paper with a drawing of a knife. The piece of paper can’t be burned or destroyed as long as it has charges. Per each charges used, the knife drawn gets more and more covered in blood. Recharges every day.
Functionality: 23/day you can touch the piece of paper and point at an enemy that immediately suffer 1d4 piercing damage, or 1d6 if outside of combat (this action starts combat)
Inspiration: @trilliath’s mom
I was explaining to my mom about how tumblr is excited for the ides of march tomorrow, and celebrating the assassination of a corrupt politician etc. etc. and she goes, "Oh! So what do we wear!"
And I said, "IDK a knife?"
And she said, "Ohh, I don't think I can get away with that at the conference. But I know, I'll draw a picture of a knife and carry it around in my pocket and get a giggle out of it whenever I look in my pocket!"
Anyway my mom's brilliant and I think we should all carry paper knives tomorrow.
If Shakespeare were alive today, he would live in constant fear of high-schoolers
reblog after voting!!
I am already making preparations for next year.
stay alert, stay safe. and beware the ides of march.
Thinking about how last Ides of March I was in Rome, and this year I'm stuck at home studying anatomy.
Anyways shoutout to Julius Ceasar for inventing the Ceasar salad, you're a real one.
i just found my city’s university drama students did Julius Caesar but as a political election
apparently the ‘political elite’ were in 1940’s dress/style and the citizens were in modern dress

Cleopatra was once smuggled to Caesar in a bed-sack
It’s a well known story recounted by Plutarch that Cleopatra, aided by her confidant Apollodorus the Sicilian, hid herself “full-length inside a bed-sack” to elude her brother Ptolemy’s guards and gain secret access to Julius Caesar at Alexandria in 48 BC. Allegedly, Cleopatra landed at the palace when it was already dark and Apollodorus tied up the bed-sack before carrying it indoors to Caesar. Cassius Dio notes simply that Cleopatra “sent for Caesar in secret” and that he was captivated by her beauty and wit, but he omits any smuggling device. This story may be victim to Plutarch’s signature dramatisation, but it is compelling nonetheless.
Julius Caesar once received a graphic love letter in the Senate
According to Plutarch, when Caesar and Cato were standing and debating in the Senate chamber, a messenger showed up and gave Caesar a small note. Cato was suspicious about the note and wanted it to be read out to the assembled senators. Caesar handed the note to Cato, and when he opened the note, he discovered it contained a graphic love letter from Servilia (his maternal half-sister), detailing her passionate desires for Caesar. Embarrassed, Cato read the it aloud, then threw the letter back at Caesar, saying, "Take it, thou sot," before continuing his speech as if nothing had occurred.
Your month, your insult told to Julius Caesar due to his alleged homosexual affair with Nicomedes IV
January - Dolabella: "the queen's rival, the inner partner of the royal couch”
February - Licinius Calvus: "Whate'er Bithynia had, and Caesar's paramour."
March - Bibulus: "the queen of Bithynia”, "of yore he was enamoured of a king, but now of a king's estate."
April - Cicero: "No more of that, pray, for it is well known what he gave you, and what you gave him in turn."
May - Caesar’s soldiers: “Caesar subdued Gaul, Nicomedes subdued Caesar”
June - A random Octavius: greeted Pompey as "king" and Caesar as "queen."
July - The elder Curio: "the brothel of Nicomedes and the stew of Bithynia."
August - Gaius Memmius: said that he acted as cup-bearer to Nicomedes with the rest of his wantons at a large dinner-party, and that among the guests were some merchants from Rome.
September - Cicero: said that Caesar was led by the king's attendants to the royal apartments, that he lay on a golden couch arrayed in purple, and that the virginity of this son of Venus was lost in Bithynia
October - Caesar’s soldiers: "All the Gauls did Caesar vanquish, Nicomedes vanquished him; / Lo! now Caesar rides in triumph, victor over all the Gauls, / Nicomedes does not triumph, who subdued the conqueror."
November - The elder Curio: Every woman’s husband and every man’s wife.”
December - Cicero: “I wish it may be true about the Queen and that Caesar of hers”
Rest in peace ❌ Rest in pieces ✅
