“The characters [are] confined by onscreen lines and layers which separate them from the camera and alienate them from the world. The film traps its protagonists by using transparent layers and intradiegetic frames to divide the screen; even expansive cinematic space becomes a cage.” [Excerpt from Cold War Spaces: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in Television and Cinema] - Dr. Douglas McNaughton, University of Brighton

Mark Antony & Marcus Brutus in Rome
hungry tony
I’m not sure why but this picture makes me laugh to an abnormal degree
Brutus looks so unimpressed (mildly surprised at most maybe) and Caesar looks annoyed he hasn’t been able to spook him effectively. What is going on
top ten cassius moments?
Ok this was SO difficult to put in order but here goes (sorry it took so long to answer, also I love this question tysm):
Honourable mentions: Speaking Greek when being affectionate with people, liking the stories of Rhodes defeating kings in the past, his brilliant speeches to his army.
10. Having the absolute audacity to ask Cleopatra for aid against Dolabella. YOU KILLED HER MAN. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO HELP YOU. But shoutout to her military commander Serapion for sending him aid without asking her.
9. Praying to the statue of Pompey before killing Caesar. I like this because it shows that Cassius wasn’t the disloyal traitor so many people make him out to be. He was loyal, but to Pompey instead of Caesar, and this makes sense entirely because not only did he fight in Pompey’s navy, but Pompey also made sure he didn’t get in legal trouble after his fight with Faustus Sulla when he was a child.
8. Leaving Parthia and running off to Syria. Some people call this cowardice or disloyalty, but the fact that Cassius FINALLY left Parthia and more importantly left Crassus to actually make the smart decision after following Crassus for so long is so satisfying. I think that him going to Syria was the only thing that let him survive and that had he stayed with Crassus, he would have walked straight into death like Crassus did.
7. Defeating Dolabella at sea and then besieging him at Laodicea. Everyone knows Cassius as a conspirator but I don’t think he’s appreciated as a general enough. He’s bloody brilliant! Also I like how he tries to bribe the night guard to let him into the city and the night guard stands on business and nobly refuses, only for the day guards to just let him in, that’s funny.
6. Burning a bunch of Caesar’s ships, then having his ship get captured, then escaping that capture. First of all I find it so fascinating that Caesar writes about this in his Civil Wars with no knowledge that Cassius is going to be the one to kill him. Second of all HE’S SO COOL and if there was a film about Cassius’ life, this would be the scene I’d probably replay the most.
5. Successfully ambushing the Parthians and defeating them. Not much to say it’s just impressive and I’m glad he actually got the chance to win against the Parthians after Crassus dragged him into such a disaster before.
4. Fighting Sulla’s son Faustus as a child. It’s so funny that Cassius had ALWAYS been willing to get violent over the concept of people having absolute power literally since he was a child in school. Also, after the fight when Pompey questioned both boys, Cassius said, “Come on then, Faustus, you can tell Pompey, if you dare, what you said that made me so angry, and I will knock your teeth in again” which implies he WON the fight.
3. The conspiracy. There’s not much I can say about why I love it other than Cassius hated tyrants and when he saw a man on the path to become a tyrant he did something about it. Bonus points because it’s what he’s known for and I think he’d like that.
2. Reassuring Brutus that the ghost he saw wasn’t real. This is one of those things that really makes me hate how people view him as this cold and heartless murderer, because he genuinely seems so lovely here. Brutus was so panicked he couldn’t sleep, but when he told Cassius about it in the morning, Cassius didn’t just tell him it wasn’t real, but he gave a full scientific/philosophical explanation as to why he didn’t believe it was real and why Brutus saw it, saying “You have passed through a great many hardships, which have imposed a severe strain on your body, and this condition both stimulates and distorts the intelligence.” He then says he doesn’t believe in spirits such as the one Brutus saw, but that if they were real, he doesn’t need to worry because he’s doing the right thing.
1. Bursting out laughing at Favonius trying to quote the Iliad at he and Brutus. It’s such a small thing and maybe it’s insignificant but there’s something about laughing at a pretentious, condescending old man trying to seem wise but coming across as absolutely cringe instead that’s SO relatable. And sometimes historical figures, particularly historical figures from over 2000 years ago, don’t really seem human but there’s something so human about bursting out laughing at a cringe old man who wants you to take him seriously. Favonius was being condescending and pretentious and cringe. He looked stupid. It’s the exact sort of thing I also find extremely funny. I like that Cassius and I laugh at the same things. He has a good sense of humour. 10/10 Cassius moment, undoubtedly my favourite. ❤️

words doesn’t classical matter order in greek;
we, in a manner akin to that of a man who once was, in Rome, an orator of significant skill, who was then for his elegance of speech renowned and now for his elaborate structure of sentences cursed by generations of scholars of Latin, the language which he spoke and we now study, Cicero, write, rather than by any efficiency, functionality, or ease of legibility have our words, our honors, the breaths of our hearts, be besmirched.
The fact that this has yet to devolve into boustrophedon is a miracle… or a challenge. I’m looking at you @terpsikeraunos @macdicilla @labellamordens
I’m up to it
Not many jnſtances of Punctuation - but for many Daſhes – et words Capitaliz’d for emphavſis, but not logicaly - ſpeeling and word Endings varied Gratelie - and the long S - ſ - vſed in at the ſtart and Centre of wordes - & the short “s” vſed only at the end - as with the U and V, and the I and J - but v and j only at the ſtart of wordes (we diſtinguishe not between Vouels and Conſonants, only decoratiue Letteres). Ye letter “y” being in lookes cloſe to an Olde letter “þ” which is vſed as “th” - Y may be vſed in the place of TH - but only ſparingly - and ſtill Pronounc’d the ſame as TH. Long and rambling ſentences - ſeeminglie without end - a paragraph can conſiſt of One whole ſentence, and ſhort ſentences are rare – we ſcribe like hiſtorical Modern English – and other european Languages.
And furthermore, Carthage is to be destroyed.
