Julius Caesar — "Live From the Capitol”

“Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your earbuds!” BREAKING NEWS: Julius Caesar has just been killed in the Capitol and his funeral orations will begin shortly. Romnius Brutus, the leader of the conservative senators who carried out this violent termination of Julius Caesar’s tenure, has promised to put forward his rationale for the extreme actions taken by the coalition of senators. Rudy Antony, a close ally of Caesar’s and a political outsider, will follow with his own heartfelt remarks about his friend, Caesar. Will a peaceful transition of power be achieved or will a riot break out? Stay tuned for live coverage from Octavia Naomius, the popular correspondent for the conservative news service: “The Republic of Rome Forum”. Listeners are advised to stay away from the grounds of the Capitol as tensions are running high and it only takes one misstep for mischief to be afoot!
