that a noble woman would react the way Atia did when Servillia tried to poison her. Why not take her to court and expose her to the senate? Or let the whole city know that Caesar's killers were aided by a maniac that attacks respectable women out of spite? This whole scene was a far-cry from reality and a little TOO soap opera-ish for me.
(like watching my mom's favorite day-time show and seeing John Black waking from a coma as Stephano has him bound to an operating table while Marlayna hangs upside-down in the corner blind-folded or some garbage)
almost as silly as that....
