After a hard day browbeating senators into pushing through his health reform plans, Caesar pulls out the laptop (tablet PC?) and checks his email. This is what he sees.
(Bonus points if you spot at least three historical inaccuracies.)

Another famous Inbox well done! Keep them up.
I especially liked the "who can you trust these days" from Brutus.
Very funny
I love these!!
@Neil, hehe yes — even better, for me, is the LinkedIn invitation a bit later. "Keep your friends close …"
Also laughed out loud at Tiber.com's offers
“Re: I’ve had an idea for a salad” – genius
is there anyway I can get the programme that allows you to do this? Like to use it for personalities in my own country?
Catherine: I just send email to myself and change the “from name” each time in my email account to get the desired sender to show up. No tricks or special software involved.
ROTFL! read this on a cold and rainy day. Good thing I wasn’t drinking some hot tea or I might have spattered the keyboard. Thanks!
Well, Pompeia was Seneca’s wife — lived under Nero
The Visigoths were a bigger problem toward the end of the Roman Empire – Caesar fought the Gauls (the Alemanni and Helvetii).
Can’t see the third one, but it must be very obvious!
Great catch on the Visigoths. Pompeia was Caesar’s second wife(?) so I think that’s OK. If I recall right, he didn’t meet Cleopatra until after Pompey’s death, so couldn’t have emails from both at the same time. I’m not sure if the third mistake isn’t simply that Caesar’s Salad was actually invented in the 20th century.
No Rubicon reference?
Yes, a missed opportunity in retrospect.
Bwahahahahah!!!
It took me about 5 minutes to get the salad joke… And the I laughed for about 15. =D
Ohmygoshhahahaha
“Who can you trust these days?” and “I’ve had an idea for a salad.” = AWESOME
