Marius & Sulla: former friends who'd fought multiple wars together before their conflicting ambitions put them at each other's throats

Caesar & Pompey: former friends and in-laws who both tried to prevent their civil war before pride, suspicion and political pressures tore their alliance up anyway

Antony & Octavian: hate at first sight lmao

So paulalia of them.

Just normal siblings behavior, on their way to slaughter people godhood.

#paulalia #they've given gaius dark hair and turned octavia into a redhead just to make them even more paulalia core you can't change my mind #not Octavian crossing his arms and looking away #acting all petty because she's also leaving 🤣 #agrippa lowering his gaze when his future spouse is having weird sisterwife interactions with her brotherhusband emperor #ive been given so much and yet ive been robbed with dune part two #so those two are going to heal my paulalia brainrot

Inspired by @just-late-roman-republic-things' lists like this. XD I love them so much I had to try one.

The way ancient politicians escape a corn maze.

Octavian: He has scouted the route in advance and plotted a course. When he gets lost, he follows Agrippa out and takes the credit.

Agrippa: Literally the only one who finds his way out easily and on his own. He was never lost.

Mark Antony: He makes his way through somehow despite not planning a path. If he hits a dead end, he just pushes through the corn. At least once he hides in the corn and jump-scares Octavian to make him scream.

Lepidus: He entered the maze, but no one saw him exit. No one searches for him. Octavian says he made it home and Antony agrees. The fact they agree on this is concerning...

Cicero: He solves the layout immediately but then second guesses himself. As he walks, he audibly describes his thought process, pausing at every turn. Everyone behind him is in agony.

Dolabella: He sets the maze on fire after he finds out he still owes the entry fee and they won't waive it. He tries to blame Mark Antony.

Julius Caesar: He sends flunkies through to scout the maze for him and follows after they give him a map. He is dubbed the first to navigate the maze successfully.

Pompey: He gets lost on his own so he bribes someone to lead him out and after he exits, calls anyone else who had assistance to escape a cheater.

Crassus: He bought an aerial view of the maze beforehand and uses this to get out successfully. After Dolabella sets the maze on fire, he tries to sell the owner insurance.

Brutus: He navigates the maze successfully after he bands together with Cassius and essentially follows his friend out of the maze. Somehow he's the one who gets all the credit.

Did Caesar betray Antony?

We always hear the question whether Antony betrayed Caesar or not? For once let's ask whether Caesar had betrayed Antony.

It was Antony who fought valiantly in Caesar's Galic Wars including the battle of Alesia which established him as the conqueror of Gaul. During Caesar's long absence from Rome, it was Antony who worked restlessly to gain support of the plebs on Caesar's behalf. After his Lieutenant Labienus deserted him to join Pompey's fraction in the Civil war, it was Antony, as his Legate, who remained loyal to him. When Caesar was almost losing the battle at Pharsalus, it was Antony who braved a violent storm and brought reinforcements that ultimately helped Caesar defeat Pompey. Antony took charge of a highly unstable Rome in Caesar's absence when he was in Egypt. He had to make some difficult decisions because Caesar left him no money with which to pay the veterans. He did his utmost to bring some stability to Rome. Yet when Caesar returned to Rome, he punished Antony by removing him from all offices and rewarding his enemy Dolabella, who was the source of causing violent riots. What exactly had the Dictator promised Antony in exchange for the city’s plebs suddenly supporting him as potential King of Rome? After Caesar's violent murder by his own friends, it was Antony who gave a heart-wrenching speech, rousing the Roman citizen into frenzy and cremated Caesar with utmost respect as the father of the Roman people. When Caesar's own chosen heir Octavian joined hands with his murderers to destroy Antony, he was still the senior most leader of the Caesarian fraction. When Caesar's so called son Octavian pretended to be sick and hide in the marshes of Philippi to avoid capture, it was Antony who defeated his murderers and avenged him. Then he tried for years to cooperate with Octavian to honour Caesar's wishes.

What did the great Gaius Julius Caesar reward the man who performed all the duties of a son with loyalty and devotion? Nothing but utmost misery and death.

Do we know how or when Agrippa and Octavian met? Any rough ideas of their early friendship/shared experiences?

(Sorry if you have answered this before lol.)

According to Nicolaus of Damascus, they were "extremely close" since childhood, and met at school. They had several things in common, which likely brought them together:

They were probably born in the same year.

Both were the youngest child in the family, and had an older brother or stepbrother who was expected to be the heir instead.

Both were sort of outsiders to the Roman political establishment: Octavian's father was a "new man" from outside Rome, while Agrippa had no senatorial ancestors at all.

Both were disabled: Octavian was chronically ill, and Agrippa had some sort of weakness in his legs.

Pliny the Elder says that Agrippa had a "miserable childhood," but doesn't elaborate why. Octavian lost his father at the age of 4, was then separated from his mother and sent to live with his grandmother instead, and his inheritance was stolen/squandered by the man who was supposed to be his guardian.

They must have been friends by the age of 16-17, when Octavian interceded with Julius Caesar to save the life of Agrippa's brother, a Pompeian officer. Despite their families apparently picking opposite political sides, the two remained close.

Octavian would then sail to Spain to join Caesar's final campaign at Munda, though he arrived after the fighting ended. It's likely, but not certain, that Agrippa either sailed with him, or had joined Caesar's forces and met Octavian in Caesar's camp. Agrippa was probably also one of the friends whom Octavian snuck onto Caesar's return ship to Italy, along with their mutual friend Salvidienus. Caesar would then send Octavian, Agrippa and Salvidienus to train in Greece as officers, and the three of them were together when Octavian got news of Caesar's death.

Agrippa and Salvidienus were at Octavian's side throughout the War of Mutina and the formation of the second triumvirate. They met Maecenas around this time. Agrippa and Maecenas accompanied Octavian to the Battle of Philippi.

Interestingly, Salvidienus appears to have initially been Octavian's top choice as general: Octavian gave him six legions to govern Spain, and he and Octavian commanded during the Perusine War, with Agrippa as their subordinate. But soon after this war, Antony revealed Salvidienus as a traitor, and Octavian had his former friend executed (or forced to suicide). Agrippa only received his first independent command afterward, when Octavian sent him to quell an uprising in Gaul.

Agrippa returned having pacified Gaul and Germany, and proceeded to be ludicrously competent at everything for the rest of his life.

Also, Octavian nearly died like...five times during this? Not counting the actual battles he fought. He got seriously ill often and had terrible luck on boats.
