Imagine you were on vacation, or your honeymoon, or simply out for a day trip to the Roman Forum and you saw fifty people gathered around a statue of Julius Caesar drinking wine and singing (to the tune of My Darling Clementine):
Gaius Iulius Caesar noster, imperator, pontifex,
Primum praetor, deinde consul, nunc dictator, moxque rex,
etc.
Yesterday, we had Caesar Day... a four-hour reading tour of the assassination of Julius Caesar: Plutarch, Seutonius, Cicero, Caesar himself.
Among the highlights... we saw the apartment building that was built over Pompey's theater, the tram tracks which have been laid over the site of the assassination, the cats which now live in the senate house, and so on.
