Gaius Cassius Longinus

This account went from “let me fangirl over Cassius from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar” to “let me research the real Cassius and fangirl over him” to now “let me defend Cassius with my life”

“Caesar didn’t like Cassius, which led to Cassius killing Caesar” sounds petty until you remember that if Caesar became some sort of king as Cassius suspected, Cassius would be in a dangerous position being on his bad side

I wonder if Cassius ever got over the guilt of leaving 4,000 men behind to be slaughtered by the Parthians during the retreat from Carrhae….

Cassius and Crassus in Parthia is fucking ridiculous because the whole time it’s just Cassius having a good idea and Crassus going out of his way to ignore him and do the most stupid possible thing instead

“Caesar crossed the Rubicon ☝️🤓” oh so the ONE TIME he figures out how to cross a river everyone cheers about it but when HE TRIES TO SWIM ACROSS THE TIBER AND HE FAILS OH NOBODY IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT

Yeah yeah friends romans countrymen whatever but if you heard the shit Caesar pulled in the river Tiber that one time-

Brutus ruined the conspiracy 👍
