Something I thought worth sharing. Of course, if you’re a history buff, you either already know all this or it comes as one of those things you’ve never heard before. Either situation, it may also grab your attention a bit.
Allow me to take you back, way back, to March 15, 44 BC. Definitely not a gathering of friends but an event where Julius Caesar was rudely stabbed by approximately sixty Roman senators, most doing little damage to his body. In fact, Suetonius, a Roman philosopher, claimed that only a couple of those sixty blows were fatal.
Apparently. there were some serious anger issues held by those individuals surrounding Julius. His ultimate demise was fueled by his popularity and arrogance. The last to stab Caesar at the Curia of Pompey was Brutus who definitely got his point across. According to Shakespeare, Caesar managed to get the last words in with “Eu tu, Brute?”; I’d like to believe it was more like “WTF Brutus?”
