Funniest historical events bracket
details under the cut:
Ides of March: must have stabbed him fifty (23) fucking timesssss, i can't believe it!!
Roosevelt (first one): He was campaigning for presidency when he got shot in the chest. He said he was fine, concluded that since he was not coughing up blood the bullet hasn't reached his lung, declined to go to the hospital, and continued his speech. idk enough about him to have an opinion but damn that was iconic.

You've heard about Cicero: The Roman Musical. Now get ready for Six-style musical about the wives of Mark Antony! (also featuring Curio)
Featuring but not limited to:
Antonia Minor's steamy duet with Dolabella
Fulvia's epic battle-cry rap number, including a verse based on Octavian's terrible poem
Octavia's heartfelt power ballad about desperately trying to keep the Octavian-Mark Antony alliance together while looking after all the children (while simultaneously refusing to allow other people to walk all over her)
Cleopatra singing about her political ambitions, comparing JC and Mark Antony, defending herself against her portrayal in Rome & in modern media
Also featuring a song/rap number based on Cicero's second philippic because it needs to be there!! Mark Antony climbing in through the roof, possibly in a stola, Curio and his dad is there ---
Some kind of ensemble song with the wives addressing the audience based on Shakespeare's Friends, Romans, countrymen speech
you see my vision, right?
Also yes, I'm aware there's six of them on the poster. One of them is Curio perhaps. Also, graphic design is my passion, can you tell?
