Wow, it would be friggin' amazing if you wrote more of Boudica. Especially if she has more interactions with the Legion. A neutral character who had a lot of dealings with the Legion would be interesting as heck. Caesar is a very intriguing character, but so far everyone just paints him as some ignorant psycho. I would totally read more about these two.

I thought I reviewed this story. Guess not. Silly me!

I like this. It's great as a one shot, so it's fine if there are no other chapters. The ancient history refs are really interesting! I haven't gone over that stuff in ages, but my mother is a documentary aficionado so these things rub off on ya. :p This was awesome.

Great cultural reference here - it casts a lot of light on the character of Caesar in a way that I think rings true given his history and behavior. Very good characterization. The writing is also pretty strong, you do a great job of avoiding pointlessly long sentences or vivid purple prose. If I had to come up with a criticism, I might suggest using a bit more variety in punctuation. I find that semicolons and dashes are useful tools in controlling the rhythm of a story and breaking up the monotony of short declarative sentences. Obviously you don't want to overuse them, but when used in appropriate positions they can also help to strengthen or weaken the relationship among ideas as well. In addition, I'd point out that there's the occasional mild syntactical awkwardness (or possibly typo). Take "surely she would maintain silence." That could be "maintain her silence," or "keep silent," but as is it feels a bit off. Overall, though, a very enjoyable read - I'd love to see more of these short character pieces, I think you can do a lot with them.

I would not recommend calling in an enemy during the Ides of March. We all know what happened to the original Caesar...

Wow, that was awesome. I'm not versed in history, but ancient Rome always fascinated me. I would be really excited if you continued this!

For such a short story, its gripping. I'm actually a bit upset it was so short, I think you're writing talents could go much further than that! I'll keep a watchful eye out for more of your work, you have an appropriate writing style.

That was very good, I would definately keep reading if you decide to continue writing it.

I'm intrigued! I got all giddy with Latin-nerd-ism with the correct pronunciations in F:NV, and this story has made my inner history buff all kinds of excited. You captured Caesar's character very nicely, too.

Two words...LOVED IT!

Seriously, it's so well written and you captured Caesar's character perfectly. I loved the colourfull use of langauge and your history knowledge has come across, it works very well.

I'm happy to add this to my favourites list and hope you write some more if ever the feeling takes you.

What a fascinating hook. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I had a similar idea, though not basing it off Boudica. Her kind of warriors were so different than those of Caesar's, but that would be one hell of a battle. I really do hope you continue this.
