“How long have we been living the Roman lie? Ever since I can remember, certainly. … and from what source does that lie suck its energy, so that it grows stronger than the truth? We have seen murder, theft, and pillage in the name of the Republic— and call it a necessary price to pay for freedom. 

Cicero deplores the depraved Roman morality that worships wealth— and, himself a millionaire many times over, travels with a hundred slaves from one of his villas to another.  A consul speaks of peace and tranquility— and raises armies that will murder the colleague whose power threatens his self-interest. The Senate speaks of freedom— and thrusts upon me powers that I do not want but must accept and use if Rome is to endure. Is there no answer to this lie?

I have conquered the world, and none of it is secure; I have shown liberty to the people, and they flew it as if it were a disease; I despise those whom I can trust, and love those best who would quickly betray me. And I do not know where we are going, though I lead a nation to its destiny.”

Julius Caesar to Gaius Octavius, XX BC, “Augustus” by John Williams
