Julius Caesar’s road to opulence and fat living was paved with jagged, Ionic spikes.

When he was in his twenties, he was kidnapped by pirates. Before that, he was robbed of his inheritance, shamed, stripped of his priesthood, forcefully separated from his wife — all while nasty rumors were floating around about him and a king, and a less-than-adoring public mocked his high-pitched, squeaky speaking voice. And he hadn’t even conquered Gaul, formed and dissolved the Triumvirate, crossed the Rubicon and successfully led a civil war win. Shoot, we’re not even going to indulge the whole Mr. Antony/Mr. Brutus debacle.

Point is, like we said before, his boulevard to the good life was, eh?
