Geez if you were a student in this class you'd be absolutely livid.

You had to spend the last year learning about some adopted loser, instead of the guy who, when kidnapped by pirates, insisted they increase the ransom demand, and told them that after getting free he would crucify them, and then got free and did just that. The guy who built a wall around a city to help him besiege it, and then when a relieving army came to attack him, he built another wall around the outside of his army to protect him.

Oh yeah, and the whole "not knowing the material needed to get a good grade" thing. That too.

"Whoa. I'm going to have to pull out some top grade bullshit to explain how it was really Augustus that led to Julius' success and downfall."
