Absolutely true, as a student of Roman history I cannot agree
more that Caesar should have surrendered himself to be executed by
the Senate without having broken any laws. Absolute tyrant for
accepting a legal office and sparing his enemies after said civil
war. That's why upon his death the Roman people loathed him so.
