The last episode left me mourning someone dead for 2000 years, so well done. Looking forward to Cicero and Demosthenes and getting back to the comparison essays.
This series was an absolute masterpiece, Alex. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride. I am keen to continue the journey but I do not envy being in your position and trying to determine which direction to take! So many great options but I trust your instincts.
Thanks for your preview of upcoming episodes, Alex! May i suggest that to fully round out your "Visions of Caesar" series that you include Sextus Pompey and Agrippa. I think they are often neglected but essential components of a full picture.
We often forget about describing Sextus' hold on Sicily, preventing Octavian from a solid grip on the West. Do you know Greg Aldrete's "Great Courses" lecture on Sextus, in his series, "Unsung Heroes of the Western World"? He thinks of him as Octavian's doppelganger!

Agrippa I was already toying with. But Sextus Pompey I haven't heard suggested before. Love it! Will think on it.
