Caesar Found Dead

To the crying confusion and surprise of Rome, late yesterday, the Ides of March, 709 AUC, a true tragedy hath passed in thy very own Senate-House. In a counselling typical of the senate, thy great leader, Gaius Julius Caesar was slain. ‘Tis a well known detail that a soothsayer doth warned Caesar about the peril of the Ides of March, but Caesar hath overlooked such warnings, such which may have determined his fate. Tis talked that Caesar’s maiden, the fair Portia, hath not been at peace days before the murder, and begged him, upon her knee, not to walk forth. His close friend Marcus Brutus purportedly urged him to stir forth and attend thy gathering, convincing Caesar that he was mad for being weary. Caesar was found hurt by the knife 23 times and suspicions extend to Marcus Brutus and Cassius Longinus primarily as the cause, but it seems sixty or more members from Senate are being questioned. Whilst nothing can be compared to crystal in clarity as of yet, the details of the case have started unfolding, and with it the secrets of a conspiracy. From what we’ve been told, the conspirators were afraid that Caesar would gain complete and total authority. The question captivating the minds of all is whether such move has been played for the benefit of the murderers in question, or for Rome? To Brutus, such question ceases to exist. Whilst talking to the people of Rome, he was quoted saying "If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?” Cassius and Marc Antony chose not to comment at such time. By word of various sources Caesar’s parting words were, “Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar".

Weather Confounds Rome

                            Disaster strikes in the midst of political turmoil

Ides of march, why didn’t anyone listen? Such a silly prediction came true. No one thought it could happen but thus the truth could be absolute. A tempest the most terrible ye has seen has hit and the rest of the week is looking like more of the same weather to match the Roman people’s moods. All sorts of mysterious things have been happening leading up to the eventful storm that hit last night, and while some think it is just the clouds, some believe it is more. We talked to a citizen who believed the storm has some significance. Cassius says "yesterday the bird of night did sit even at noon-day upon the market-place, hooting and shrieking. When these prodigies do so conjointly meet, let not men say 'these are their reasons; they are natural'; for, I believe, they are portentous things unto the climate that they point upon." So, are men construing things after their fashion or has the world, too saucy with the gods, incensed them to send destruction?
