Caesar is in Rome and he’s paying people for their loyalty. Only problem is, he’s running out of gold. Caesar has the city under martial law and decides to throw a party at the house of Julie Cooper (Atia) to negotiate loyalty fees. Julie is Caesar’s niece, but I don’t think she’s blood because she wants the spot at Caesar’s side – and on top of him and beneath him and so on. But those positions are already taken by Servilia, whom Caesar invites to a party at Julie’s. Meanwhile, Lucius is starting a new venture and throws a party of his own. Things get weird when his sister-in-law arrives with her husband (also the father of Niobe’s baby, whom Lucius believes is his grand-daughter). The sister-in-law gets drunk, causes a scene and she and her husband are banished from Lucius’ home. Later, Pompey’s son arrives with a band of men and questions Lucius at sword point about the location of the stolen gold. Conveniently, Titus arrives (stupidly, with pomp and circumstance, basically announcing his crime) and he and Lucius dispatch the band of men. Lucius convinces Titus to give the gold and Pompey’s son to Caesar and hope for mercy. Caesar takes it easy on Titus and sends Pompey’s son back to his father with an offer of truce, which is impossible for Pompey to accept. With the offer, Caesar tried to divide Pompey from the Senate, and based on their respective reactions, it worked. After sending Pompey’s son off, Caesar has a seizure (try saying that ten times fast) to which young Octavian and Casesar’s right hand man are the only witnesses. The duo pull Caesar into a small room to let the seizure pass and one of the servants listens to Caesar’s grunting at the door. Later she only sees Caesar and Octavian leave so she likely suspects pedophilia. Ah, just another day in Rome!
