Epilogue
1 For British readers Kenneth Williams' portrayal of Caesar in Carry on Cleo (1964) - with the immortal line `Infamy, iinfamy, they've all got it in for me.' - may be equally memorable, if not for reasons of historical accuracy. Similarly, for many, Caesar may be familiar from his regular appearances in the Asterix comics by Goscinny and Uderzo. Although the Romans are the principal villains of these stories, Caesar himself is a little formal and pompous, but still largely sympathetic.
