#following this. caesar = the state-body-victim = rome. which is adding some amount of weight to the monarch-behavior accusations #hey anyway do you know what i hate. the justice-legal system of the late republic #it's like playing 4D chess in an arena made of teeth #cassius dio coming in strong with the condemnation that trebonius got what he had coming is interesting to me #because nothing about what happened to trebonius looks or behaves in a roman way. justice-retribution wise #THEN AGAIN from the alternative court. his role in the death of caesar puts him down with the lowest strata of criminals #BUT TO COUNTER THAT caesar's intentions wrt to provinces and appointments were being honored so at what point are we cutting #up the corpse of caesar along with everyone else #so sorry if you read these tags im discussing like. 3 different books ive read today and referencing exactly none of them #im having a conversation with myself. everything that happened after 44BCE sucks to interpret
