You know, history is written by victors... There is no such "good" and "evil" in history, unless it concerns unprecedented cruelty or sanctity. Historical Caesar was neither angel nor devil. He was ruthless, but if he wasn't, he would die at very young age, because his contemporaries were at least the same cruel or even more.

I'm afraid that most of people on the forum knows Caesar, Ceopatra, Antony etc. from stupid slapstick comedies or comic books like Astérix, thus non-scientific sources.

I also think that if you want to judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. I suppose that most people condemning Caesar for his deeds wouldn't survive in many situations he happened to be. He had both guts and brains, and it's more than you can say about most of his opponents.

Old Arabian saying states that second best thing in the world is a noble enemy (first best thing is noble friend). Pixelberry's Caesar seems to be someone like this, at least for now.
