I begin in a spirit of sorrowful mourning for my dear friend Caesar, our fallen leader. I am here to urge my fellow Romans to keep close the memory of our great leader. There is no need for me to recount his great expedition in Gaul, his tireless invasion of Britain, his steady leadership during this regrettable civil war. For today, I remember Caesar as my friend. His fierce leadership in our great Roman empire shows the true character of our emperor, a man bold and magnificent inside as well as outside of these walls. I witnessed the dedication that Caesar held for Rome. I urge you all to never doubt Caesar’s profound desire to restore our great government. That very spirit that inspired my dear friend, inspiring him to make great but necessary changes to the government for us all, must serve as an inspiration to remember forever the intentions of these changes. I knew Caesar as a deliberate man, forceful and true. I again urge you, o Romans, to perpetuate this memory of our Caesar, my fallen friend. We must be as deliberate, true, great, dedicated, bold and steady in our remembrance of Caesar as he was in our government. In memory of his steadiness, we must follow custom and display Caesar’s body for at the very least a week’s time. In memory of his accomplishments, we must carry out funeral games to honor the murdered Caesar. In memory of his divine lineage, we must please the gods and show honor by deifying Caesar. O Romans, in the name of upholding of honor and virtue, we are obligated to Caesar the leader and friend of all countrymen.
