Disclaimer: All of my previous works (like De Bello Gallico, for example) were written in the third person to sound objective. (Which is actually almost true. Lying face) This blog, however, I’m writing from my personal point of view—exactly how I experienced it. So if any ethnic minority feels offended,…

Today, I founded my very own triumvirate.The best thing about it? Nothing like this has ever existed before! A triumvirate is often described as a “three-man alliance”—and that’s exactly what it is. If you want to break it down in your language: “Tri” comes from tres, meaning “three”, and “virate”…

Don’t ask how or why I’m still writing today. Just be glad you’re seeing one final official diary entry from me. Because I will (or rather: have already) been killed. On the Ides of March, 44 BC, I shall die — and that’s not cool. No glorious conquest, no epic…

So here I am in Egypt, and honestly, I don’t really know what to do next. I have to admit, I’m a bit bored. But hey, what matters is: I’ve already accomplished quite a lot. You can go ahead and give me a pat on the back. No, actually, don’t.…

I’ve started another war! This time right near Rome, when I wanted to cross the river Rubicon 🛶. Those annoying Senate decrees again. I was just about to announce my candidacy for consul (yes yes, they also wanted to prosecute me…) when I heard I wasn’t allowed to cross the…

According to Suetonius: […] si qua occultius perferenda erant, per notas scripsit, id est sic structo litterarum ordine, ut nullum verbum effici posset: quae si quis investigare et persequi velit, quartam elementorum litteram, id est D pro A et perinde reliquas commutet. Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus Who understood that? For those…

I’m just being honest with you: There are times when I maybe don’t tell everything exactly, but what would that change? Nothing! So I’ll just do it! What you have to really appreciate about me is that I have always been kind to my enemies. Have you ever seen something…

My conquests had been going really well until recently. No, no, no! — not my conquests. I am only defending my land. But as the saying goes: the best defense is a good offense. And if some money flows into my treasury in the process, you can’t really blame me,…

You’ve probably heard of the Barbarians 🐺 and Gauls 🦍 before. I’m not allowed to say that publicly, or I’d be reported again or even worse: reported to the discrimination office, but here I dare to say it. I won’t be defeated! The Gauls and Barbarians are truly — as…

I almost got into trouble with those “law keepers” — they actually wanted to sue ⚔️ me and condemn me as soon as I became a private citizen again! But they can forget that. Just because I didn’t do everything exactly as prescribed. But that’s how it is when you…
