<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 5441105, member: 72790"]As Octavian might have put it, "a multitude of Caesarea's is not a good thing". Perhaps I should explain my pun. Reportedly when Octavian was asked what to do with Caesarion, Julius Caesar's son by Cleopatra, after Octavian took over Egypt, he quoted a line from Homer about too many rulers not being a good thing (this according to Plutarch). In Greek that line from Homer is, "ouk agathon poly kouranie" but Octavian himself punned the line by saying , "ouk agathon poly kaisirie".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
