The senators and others in attendance gasped. Sulla’s brow furrowed into an angry scowl. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that, you insolent boy. Now do as I order and divorce your wife!” Caesar looked Sulla in the eye, unflinching. “No. You can strip me of my money, I can acquire more of that. You can […]
The battle raged in the night, as the fires of civil war burned just outside Rome’s gates. Sulla broke Rome’s defenders and took the city, Ordering a purge of anything related to Marius, once his mentor, now his bitter enemy, even in death. Marius’ body was exhumed and thrown in the Tiber, and statues of […]
The calendar moved, and the household prospered under Caesar. He lived happily with his wife and Mother, but despite all his prayers for the death of Sulla, the man just would not lose. Mithradates of Pontus had proven no match for the might of the Roman Legions. Things grew even more nerve wracking for him […]
Gaius Julius Caesar sat at the head of the table next to his wife Cornelia. It had been a month since the wedding, and Cossutia was gone from his mind. His mother, Aurelia, also sat at the table, and she had prepared a wonderful meal of pasta and cheese. “Excellent meal as always, Aurelia!” said […]
Gaius Julius Caesar lay in his bed, awake. The candle light dimly shone in his chamber as he looked towards his ceiling, deep in thought. His father was dead a year today, and now he, at 17, was the head of his family. So much had happened in the passing month. He was nominated high […]
Three days passed, and the king’s desire grew with each passing sunrise, eroding the sanity and patience of all involved.

Wedjahor walked solemnly into the war room of the palace. A giant table lay in the center with a map of the known world on it. Cambyses stood above it, placing tiny animal figurines on various kingdoms, empires, and nations. The king looked up and grinned a haughty grin, “Ah, Wedjie! You’re back! How’s your […]
“I can’t believe that didn’t work…” Cambyses, king of Persia, groaned in his bed as Wedjahor sat next to him in a chair, sipping herbal tea. “I told you a thousand times, no one can defend against ancient priestly tickle magic,” Wedjahor said, exasperated. “Please drink your tea. You’ll feel better.” “But it tastes so […]
The king arose from his feather bed as the sun began to bake the sands, and at once he was vigorous and eager to claim the meat of the Apis for his dinner. He raced to the armory, and immediately donned his bronze scale armor. Wedjahor was already awake, having a simple breakfast of bread, […]
The next day, Phillip sat on his throne, with Olympias seated next to him. He slouched in a comfortable position, and scratched at his beard. He said to the guards, “Summon the priests of the temple of Zeus.” The guard nodded, and left the palace. Within the hour, he returned. Five old men in white […]
