caesar novus Posted Sunday at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:44 AM (edited) Quote for each of the 7 best ancient roman generals or admirals, compose a haiku about their qualities Julius Caesar Swift as the eagle, Conquering lands, forging new Rome— Dictator’s sharp blade. Scipio Africanus Carthage falls to dust, Strategist with steady hand— Rome’s savior ascends. Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus Three triumphs he claimed, Yet shadows of Caesar grew— Fate’s tide turned unkind. Gaius Marius Reformer of steel, Legions reborn through his will— Rome’s shield, strong and true. Lucius Cornelius Sulla Lion of the Senate, Blood and power marked his reign— Dictator’s cold gaze. Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Sea’s master, steadfast, Actium’s waves bowed to him— Augustus’ strong arm. Belisarius (Byzantine, but inspired by Roman tradition) Last light of old Rome, Eagle’s wings in twilight skies— Glory fades, yet burns.
