The reason the "omen" of the bird with the laurel leaf in its beak was bad was that it was attacked by other birds and ripped to pieces in (Pompey's theatre which was serving as) the Senate House. The building where Caesar was murdered was then walled up and it was forbidden henceforth for meetings to take place on the Ides (15th) of March, which was renamed the "Day of Patricide".
To be fair, legally, Octavian did go by the name Gaius Julius Caesar after his post mortem adoption by Caesar. So technically, it is a bust of Julius Caesar, just not the one they're talking about
She had a dream that the fountains of rome were going to rain with his blood and happy romans would bathe their hands in his blood and that the weather was bad ...

Is it just me, or does Ben tend to gravitate towards dim-witted jock types? He does rock them, though.
yeah because he has the look for it
Old wise woman! Spurinna - a soothsayer who looked for omens in the entrails of sacrificed animals :)
What's the bot called that shows before this - where Caeser features in an advert for a magazine (where he has Cleopatra's kid)
