I didn't like the characters, as portrayed, of Brutus, Cassius, or Cicero.
Cicero - a great orator who was assassinated (but not by Titus Pullo). Story goes that one of Augustus' grandsons was reading Cicero when the Emperor walked by; the kid tried to hide the book but Augustus picked it up, started reading it and said "very well written". After Cicero was assassinated Marc Anthony's wife, FULVIA (not Attia) pricked at the tongue with needles because his tongue had been so sharp.
