(( I've just gotten to the last of the Masters of Rome books, Antony and Cleopatra, and this is making the thread crack me up all the more. Pullo in Vegas!Luxor ... *diiies* ))

Like many politicians, Octavian held double standards. Unlike many politicians, he hadn't conceived of those double standards to allow himself more latitude. Rather, he felt that gambling and whoring were perfectly all right for good ol' legionaries like Pullo; the ones who should deny themselves such vices were the patricians, including Octavian himself -- and especially the patrician women, most notably Octavian's mother and sister. A happy, well-entertained legionary was a good legionary, and a happy Pullo was a Pullo as Pullo should be, in Octavian's eyes.

"Luxor? In the United States? That is a surprise!" Oh, Octavian, just wait until you hear about the other casinos.
