It’s a triumvirate -- that’s a group of three
“Crassus (come on), Pompey (come on), I’m JC! (come on)
We three will rule!

It’s the start of the rise of Julius C

I can hear the brothers Gracchus Sayin, 

“Rich, please don’t attack us” (don’t attack us)

“We got a feeling that the senators will whack us” (hey!)

Shield, sword, dagger, and armor and tunic

On horseback is the cavalry

Brand new republic ready to run
Democracy
Aristocracy

Hannibal riding on elephant back

They moved to Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

Brutus and the Senate murdered Julius C
He hit the floor (he hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Caesar’s no more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more
You know he’s so depressed
23 stab wounds in his chest (in his chest)

Pax Romana is the word that brings the cheers (Yay!)

To the shores of the River Tiber
