At this point, it seems that Caesar is a bit like Octavian later (Octavian's subordinates told him in a flat tone that Octavian was also angry after Anthony's death, saying that although he was an opponent, he should be more dramatic when broadcasting the death. a little).
2. The actress has the purpose of using Caesar to relieve herself, but she always feels obsessed with Alexander's brilliant record that year. Alexander is the rare ancient commander in conquering a known territory. The actress saw that Caesar hoped to put the treasure on this. People.
3. Anthony's indulging in love with the actress after taking a bath in the palace fully exposed Anthony's low political sensitivity and his mentality of pursuing his wife and children.
