Sharade’s Reviews > The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic > Status Update

Roman legions playing a game of cat and mouse with an Algerian king in the Atlas mountains and the desert is straight out of Astérix, love it, 10/10.

I find the little foreshadowings so cute. "Hmmm this decision to have a professional army loyal to its general and not the Senate and people of Rome SURE will have consequences in the future wink wink"

Ah I see that bribing senators so you can continue to massacre people is a time-honored tradition.

Chagrined that politicians nowadays don't use "my dead brother who was murdered by this city came to me in a dream to tell me I definitely am fated to have this role" as an argument to run for office.

They kept sending armies against the Sicilian revolt so basically the Senate was just feeding Praetors to Sicilian rebels.

Embracing my white middle aged man side.
