Ancient History: Chapter 79 (part 1)
from The Dunce Caps Hosted by The Dunce Caps
This week Rob & Chris are still in Rome. Caesar is dead, but his dressing and undetermined title of leader of Rome live on! Brutus wanted to throw Caesar's stabbed up dead body in the river, like the Romans have started doing. But Marc Anthony steps in with his Hispanic rhythms and takes over. First decree, funeral party for Caesar's body! But then there is a riot. After, Octavian comes home to avenge his (technically not) dad, Caesar, and rule Rome in his place. Like all great (not technically) son's, he follows in his dad's footsteps and creates a second Triumvirate with Marc Anthony and his dinky friend Lepidus. But like all the Triumvirates before them (only been one before them), it fails. Marc Anthony gets sucked dry by Cleopatra and kills himself like a shitty samurai. Lepidus gets sentenced to a lifetime of house arrest, and Octavian keeps the (not technically) family business alive... for now. TLDR: More Marc Anthony talk.
