The Theatre of Pompey, specifically the Curia of Pompey where the Senate is temporarily meeting.

The room is grand but feels cramped with the gathered senators and their attendants.

TNGF
SELECTED
Gaius Julius Caesar
primary
A man of 55 years with a lean yet commanding presence. His face bears the marks of campaigns—weather lines around keen grey eyes, a prominent nose, and thinning dark hair combed forward to mask his receding hairline. He holds himself with the effortless authority of a man accustomed to power.
Marcus Junius Brutus
primary
A Roman senator in his early 40s, with a lean, aristocratic build. His face is gaunt, with deep-set, haunted eyes and a prominent aquiline nose. His dark hair is cropped short in the military style, beginning to gray at the temples. His hands are well-manicured but show signs of nervous tension.
Gaius Cassius Longinus
secondary
A lean, intense man in his early 40s with a wiry build and sharp, angular features. His dark eyes are deeply set beneath a prominent brow, and his short-cropped black beard is meticulously groomed. His skin bears the weathered tan of a military campaigner.
Senate Attendant
background
A young man in his early 20s, lean and wiry from years of manual labor. His sun-darkened skin and calloused hands mark him as someone accustomed to outdoor work. His short, curly black hair is slightly unkempt, and his wide brown eyes are filled with shock.
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
secondary
A Roman senator in his late 30s, of average height with a wiry but muscular build. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp features and a prominent nose. His dark brown eyes are alert, betraying a calculating mind. His hair is cut short, with slight curls at the temples.
Dialog
Gaius Julius Caesar
What need have we of further debate, Conscript Fathers? When Caesar speaks, does Rome not prosper?
Marcus Junius Brutus
Prosperity bought with chains is no prosperity at all. Can we call this tyranny anything but... a knife at the Republic's throat?
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
By Hercules, come! The delegation from Asia waits within, and they bring urgent news.
Gaius Julius Caesar
Let them wait a moment longer. Brutus, your words cut deeper than steel - does Caesar not see in your eyes what stirs your heart?
Marcus Junius Brutus
Libertas... must sometimes be watered with the blood of friends.
Gaius Julius Caesar
You too, child of my heart? Then fall, Caesar!
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
For the Republic! Strike now!
