Yes. And Brutus is based beyond belief for fulfilling his families proud history as tyrant killers.

I would have said no if he didnt act like a king after he won the civil war. all of his actions up till then, and even most during the civil war was justifiable.

He was an honorable man.

If anyone deserved to act like a king, it was Caesar. The man was unimaginably based. It's not like the Empire would have suffered under his leadership

>> No.16232764

>>16232758
yeah although his kingship status set a precedent for like 50 faggots to ruin the empire with misrule

Maybe that wouldn't have happened if Caesar actually had time to implement good policy before his bros literally stabbed him in the back

deserved=/= should have acted. I might have given him the benifit if he out and out just declared himself king. But he pussy footed with the strong roman legalism of the republic giving it the least of lipservice without honoring it at all. the least he could have done for romes honor was to ripe the bandaid off instead of wallowing in Romes abject legal corpse.

Octavius literally did what Ceasar likely wanted to do or better. His imperial rule was a golden age for Rome. But the whole thing is ruined by a royal bloodline. Its inevitable you will have a piece of shit eventually that inherits the throne or jealous descendants that usurp the title from one that was more deserving.

Ceasar/Octavian may have been temporarily saving the republic themselves but by establishing a new monarchy they only Reset the expiration date.

He should’ve played dead early on. Only one stab wound was fatal out of 23. Those guys didn’t know how to aim.
