  Caesar’s Civil War: The History...

  The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power, Julius Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power: the emperors of Austria and Germany bore the title Kaiser, and the Tsars of Russia also owe the etymology of their title to Caesar. 
  Even in his time, Caesar was in many ways larger than life, and because of his legacy as virtual founder of the Roman Empire, much of what was written about – and by – him during his life and immediately after his assassination was politically motivated. The fact that he was murdered on the Ides of March is universal knowledge, but it’s often forgotten that he was stabbed while entering the Curia of Pompey, one of the Senate’s meeting places, in March of 44 BCE. The curia was a theater dedicated to Pompey the Great, Caesar’s rival in the civil war that ended the Republic and made Caesar dictator. When Caesar was stabbed, he fell at the base of a colossal statue of Pompey. 
  Thanks to Caesar’s victory in the civil war, Pompey is mostly remembered not for being one of Rome’s greatest generals, but for being defeated by Caesar and then ignominiously murdered after he fled to Egypt, where the boy pharaoh Ptolemy XIII decapitated Pompey and offered his head to Caesar as a gift. Although Caesar was there chasing Pompey’s men, he quickly became involved in Egypt’s own civil war. As a consequence of Ptolemy’s barbarity, Caesar impulsively decided to side with his sister Cleopatra in her bid for the throne of Egypt, escalating what was rapidly becoming an all-out civil war.

  The vault lies deep beneath the palace. 
  Alric, the Elran dancer, opens the immense stone door, guiding Heath and Caio into the vast chamber. 
  “The ancient inhabitants of this desert imbued items with a great number of dark powers. Some of these enchantments were distinctly...sexual.” 
  Caio’s pale cheeks flush deep pink as he realizes what kind of objects are locked away here. 
  The young dancer runs his fingertips over an ominous, silver-trimmed black box, its obsidian surface glittering temptingly in the torchlight. 
  “They say it houses a spirit. A creature that can provide endless pleasure.” Alric lowers his voice. “But only a powerful mage can open it...someone like you.” 
  ***CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT***

  The Influence of Ancient Egypt...

  The fascination with Ancient Egypt’s visual and structural aesthetics has significantly influenced Western art and architecture, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. Known as the Egyptian Revival, this movement emerged as part of a broader romantic and neoclassical interest in ancient civilizations. Following Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and the publication of Description de l'Égypte, Europe became enamored with Egyptian motifs, leading to their incorporation into a wide range of architectural projects. 
  One of the most recognizable contributions of Egyptian Revival architecture is the use of obelisks and pyramid forms in public spaces and memorials. These iconic shapes, once central to Egyptian religious and ceremonial design, were reinterpreted in cemeteries, government buildings, and monuments across Europe and the United States. The Washington Monument in the U.S., for instance, is a clear example of how Egyptian form was adapted to convey power and permanence. 
  In interior design and decorative arts, Egyptian Revival made a mark through bold geometric patterns, lotus flower motifs, and symbolic elements like the sun disk and winged scarab. Furniture, wallpaper, jewelry, and textiles adopted these styles, evoking the mystery and majesty of the Nile. This decorative trend became especially popular after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, which triggered a new wave of Egyptomania in the early 20th century.
