Now to Safiria's question on Caesar possibly being a fan of Socrates, from what I know of Caesar he was more inclined to epicureanism than to platonism/socratism.

His stand on the Catilina supporters' punishment, some sentences in his Commentarii on men's fears and desires, his tendency to associate himself with known epicureans, and even the title of and reports about his lost book on grammar, De Analogia, all indicate that he was, if anything, a Garden man.
