Nicolaus has another friend of Caesar’s called Licinius pull out the diadem (though he thinks a diadem and a laurel wreath are different things so maybe he’s not totally on the ball with Roman things). Caesar saw this and pushed a dude called Lepidus to intercept Licinius. So, a third guy, Longinus, grabbed the diadem from Licinius (I’m sorry, they all have virtually the same name) and placed it in Caesar’s lap. Caesar pushed it off, so Antony leapt up – nude and oiled – and put it on Caesar’s head. Caesar snatched it off in horror and lobbed it into the crowd.
