baptized in the Rubicon

Baptized in the Rubicon, Caesar took slight pause on a fateful day in 49BC. High up, on his horse determined in his course of action, no piddling stream would stop ambitious Caesar. It was an act of insurrection, but not till later was it revealed to Caesar it was against himself. The Rubicon flowed red as Caesar looking forward, forward, left few footprints crossing that piddling tributary. Successful in the civil war that followed Caesar didn't pay with his life for losing the legal sanctity of his imperium.
Five years pass. 44 BC Caesar's third wife is having premonitions of his pending violent death. Ever the warrior Caesar plans on taking the troops East to conquer the Parthians and maybe the Dacians for greater glory. A powerful persuasive speaker by all accounts Caesar plans one more speech to pacify the Senate and then it's off again.
Marc Anthony fears. Humble and contrite fair Caesar, ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
