my awesome dolabella fanart

[romanconcrete]

the first roman emperor was dolabella because cicero was the man who pushed octavian to prominence, making him the proto-emperor, and imperial power is hereditary, and dolabella is cicero's son

[en-theos]

always so happy to see that others have picked up on dolabella's evil tik toker vibes

[enlitment]

You've heard about Cicero: The Roman Musical. Now get ready for Six-style musical about the wives of Mark Antony! (also featuring Curio)

Featuring but not limited to:

Antonia Minor's steamy duet with Dolabella

Fulvia's epic battle-cry rap number, including a verse based on Octavian's terrible poem

Octavia's heartfelt power ballad about desperately trying to keep the Octavian-Mark Antony alliance together while looking after all the children (while simultaneously refusing to allow other people to walk all over her)

Cleopatra singing about her political ambitions, comparing JC and Mark Antony, defending herself against her portrayal in Rome & in modern media

Also featuring a song/rap number based on Cicero's second philippic because it needs to be there!! Mark Antony climbing in through the roof, possibly in a stola, Curio and his dad is there ---

Some kind of ensemble song with the wives addressing the audience based on Shakespeare's Friends, Romans, countrymen speech

you see my vision, right?

Also yes, I'm aware there's six of them on the poster. One of them is Curio perhaps. Also, graphic design is my passion, can you tell?

Dolabella

(Donarweiss x Lady Antebellum/Fuerst Romancier) This typey filly’s pedigree is packed to the gills with dressage royalty and her movement and conformation are already fulfilling the expectation that comes with that! If you are looking for an upper level dressage horse in a refined package- this is one to check out.  15k negotiable

which ancient roman do you think would make shitty powerpoints about teamwork with dated memes and way too many transition effects that they’d force the others to watch

cicero i fear is an obvious choice BUT i think his powerpoints would be. tasteful. a little bit. so instead i turn to

my long and stinky letter

[en-theos]

timeline of fulvia marries curio in 52-51-> curio dies in late 49 -> mark antony divorces his cousin antonia by 47 (roughly but close after fulvia's customary ten months of mourning) -> he does so by claiming dolabella cucked him -> marries the most politically influential widow of Rome is incredibly funny but especially because. if you interpret that antony made up an excuse to divorce his cousin. he depended on the reputation of dolabella as a manwhore and serial adulterer to do so

also note that at that time dolabella was still very much married to tullia of all people and also involved with clodia's daughter caecilia metella. babygirl caused three divorces 47-45BC only one of which was his own <3
