As an avid historian, I just love pointing shit out to people, and here's a perfect example. Everybody talks about Caesar as if he reigned wisely and well for like a bajillion years, but guess what? History tells another tale: Caesar took the title "dictator for life" in February of 44 BC. Then, in March of that same year, he was assassinated by a group of disgruntled republicans, who hated to see too much power concentrated into the hands of one man.
That's right. Caesar was killed by republicans. You'll notice, this is something that you never hear them crowing about! No, they'd like to hush that one up a little if they could - they'd love to wash that disgraceful little page right out of the history book!
But sorry! Some blood stains stick, no matter how hard you scrub.
