kinda reminds me of John Adams (president #2). Maybe because Cicero was required reading for politicians of the time. They both had their shining moments, both thought they should be more appreciated, and both were very insecure. I don't think I really have an absolute favorite Roman...although Augustus I like a lot (and not just because his statues are hot)...poor Octavia and Britannicus were cursed from the moment they were born...Germanicus is nice too...and, er, yea. Elagabalus is cool too, although he has too many vowels in his name for me to ever remember it.
