About This Quote

When Caesar's messengers came to Rome, they were not sent round the world saying, "Caesar is lord, so if you feel like having a Roman-empire kind of experience, you might want to submit to him." Of course, the message given by the messengers was different; they were there to tell people about what happened in Rome.
