Hi Robert,
...one of the more astounding facts in J.C.s biography is that he could rather be attributed to the populares, being a more or less avid follower of T.S. Gracchus.
(IIRC he was distantly related to that family :roll: )
Astonishingly he got "spared" by Sulla, however, and I'd say that he learned by his example which things to do and of course which things to avoid when "levering down" the roman republic. (Weren't there "distant family" ties involved, too ?! :?: )
O.K., this man J.C. should have deserved a few more lines from me on top of the ones above.
Firmly rooted on both sides,he was, then. Ambivalent.
As was, literally speaking, the case of his murder. :mrgreen:
