Gaius Octavius Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think that we all agree that the 'And thou my child' statement is an invention. What about the toga business? Somehow, I don't think that I would be concerned about where my toga was in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think that we all agree that the 'And thou my child' statement is an invention. What about the toga business? Somehow, I don't think that I would be concerned about where my toga was in that situation. Could've been simple circumstances.... flailing his arms, stumbling around, an involuntary act of self defense, etc. Though I am quite willing to believe it was an honest voluntary action to cover himself. Perhaps the reasons implied by the sources have a certain dramatic flair, but I believe that such an action is still plausible. (Though I readily admit a lack of forensic evidence to support this theory). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 What about the toga business? Somehow, I don't think that I would be concerned about where my toga was in that situation. You mean, Did Caesar attempt to cover himself with his toga as he was dying? Or--was Caesar's toga pulled to prevent his use of his arms?
