    Does anyone know offhand of the nifty coding that permits such a study?

    Maybe because I spent the whole weekend revamping my own Caesar stuff, I brooded again on Brutus. Quite the most interesting of all the conspirators - and I personally very much like the image of him portrayed in HBO's ROME, which is arrogant, more or less well-meaning, high intellectual, and placed in an impossible position.

    What's even more interesting is the rapacity and ruthlessness he showed after he was driven out of Italia, as it is to watch the Senate swinging first one way, now another, about what to do with him.

    Does anyone here really ADMIRE Brutus?
