Caesar begins telling me tales of his battles, taking long hours describing the grueling miles they marched and the glorious victories he had won. My hair stands on end as he describes the blood and the death that took place on the battlefields. His visage becomes slightly melancholy as he continues on, knowing that his victories were bought with Roman blood. Caesar then begins on the topic of his political maneuvers.

Each of the Roman virtues arises out of a sense of duty to put the state over the self. Following this duty evokes a necessary recognition of
