Mar 15– Caesar by Plutarch (~100) translated/edited by AH Clough
Summary: He was warned, but they still killed Caesar.
Commentary: I feel like reading about Caesar's assassination on the anniversary is pretty cold. Selection was fine. Tells the story well enough, but not super exciting or well written. I've read a few other snatches of Plutarch over the years, and I think they were generally a bit better. Could be a weak translation, or just an iffy section (but obviously a thematic one).
