Caesar vs. Caesar: The Poll

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

In a couple of days it will be the President's Day holiday in the USA. This naturally put me in mind of Suetonius's book generally known under the title of The Twelve Caesars (although the last in the line of actual Caesars was Nero), a jolly book about an entertaining crew of heads of state and their many hilarious misadventures. Feel free to vote your favorite using any criteria you please.

I apologize. My sense of irony must have fallen into a coma. We'll all just have to muddle through somehow.

not sure if I should vote for most hilariously evil or "best" (if it's the former Nero for banging his mother, latter uh Augustus I guess). Suetonius is all time great tho, love this book.

how did i miss this; it's augustus. comes home from college and takes over the world; founds a dynasty of mostly mark antony's kids. i like when shakes' cleopatra disdains him as "scarce-bearded caesar."
