I haven't forgotten about the Jonesy ficlet either! *g* First, though, I need to get my SeSan fics out of the way.
Ah, Rome. Now that the incredibly sad (sad-pathetic) British mini "Empire" (also about JC and Octavian and Antony) is showing here, and I can compare it to Rome, I'm loving Rome even more than before, if that's possible. I've been reading about Octavian, and the casting for him really couldn't havebeen more perfect. I'm really looking forward to the second season -- when Puresex (hehe) is pitted against Octavian, and we'll see some real ruthlessness from both of them.
I love the Vorenus/Pullo duo so much, as well. Love their everyman-ness, the uncertainties they face, which really gives you a sense of how volatile and politically dangerous a place Rome was during these civil wars, not just for the people jostling for power, but for every citizens, especially the soldiers.
