Suetonius reports two traditions. According to one Caesar says nothing, according to the other he says "and you, son" in Greek. Suetonius doesn't elaborate on these traditions nor does he show preference for one over the other. One might note the similarity with the quote "the die is cast" (when Caesar crossed the Rubicon) which Plutarch claims Caesar uttered in Greek and not in Latin (it seems Caesar choose the quote from a play by the Greek playwright Menander).

Are there any good books on what happened to the English Fleet that went to attack Spain? As well as the aftermath?

Squab refers to pigeon as a meat source, in the same way that beef refers to cow as a meat source.

Not mutually exclusive. They are both terms used to describe Pigeon chicks. Squab refers to an earlier phase of development. They progress into squeakers.

Theres a person on tiktok who lives like its ww2 and went to a pub one night. a pigeon got kicked and beaten up by a bunch of drunks and sat on her lap for over 3 hours on the bench outside and wouldnt stop following her. https://www.tiktok.com/@realvintagedollshouse/video/7094314749797666053?_t=8WGPsBms0cA&_r=1

Hey there! I really enjoyed The Habsburgs: To Rule the World by Martyn Rady.

No. They are called squabs.

What are you working for a think tank in Oakland? Stay strange, but stay sane.
