What are these people smoking?
Året är 52 f Kr, och Gajus Julius Caesar är just i färd med att kuppa till sig den diktatoriska makten i världens mäktigaste stat, det romerska riket (stor krigare som till slut kanske blev mest känd för den julianska kalendern - säg, är det inte ett ironiskt litet löje?!).
