Napoleon vs Caesar: Two Emperors, Two Falls
NAPOLEON vs JULIUS CAESAR go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
You crowned yourself, Napoleon. I let Rome beg me to take it. A man who seizes the crown admits he was never owed it.
And look how Rome thanked you, Caesar. Twenty-three knives, from the very men who smiled at you. I at least chose my own exile.
Exile, on a rock in the sea. I fell at the height of my power. You faded on Saint Helena, dictating memoirs to the wind.
Better to fade having remade Europe, than to bleed out trusting your friends. We both reached too far, Julius. The difference is, I saw the knife coming.
