This is such a weak take. Julius Caesar was a really terrible person in many, many ways. He was basically Donald Trump, if Trump were also an extremely accomplished statesman and military commander. But to just flat-out state he's the worst of the Caesars? We're talking about a dynasty that also had Nero and Caligula. There's an argument to be made for Julius because of the fact that he established the whole thing and caused the downfall of the Republic. But that argument actually needs to be made, not just asserted. Or at the least, couch your comments with words like "possible" or "maybe".
But also, wtf Zuck? How is Augustus the most fascinating? I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who doesn't find Julius the most interesting.
It's awesome to see that the really smart people came over from Reddit. I was hoping someone knew their Roman history.
