None of the other four sources drag all these other men into it. They have the scene play out between Antony and Caesar alone. In all these, Antony completed his run through the city in the Forum and produced the diadem from somewhere on his nude body (probably best not to think about it). He then approached Caesar and placed it on his head. In Dio, the latest of our sources, Antony says, ‘The people offer this to you through me,’ to which Caesar replies, ‘Jupiter alone is king of the Romans.’
