That's why a lot of TV documentary have actors playing whoever the documentary is about. I'll miss you, Caesar, you angry little red square.

Its not bad but talking about cheating sex crazed maniacs to a bunch of school children may not be the most appropriate of subjects.
You have a point. Then again, history is nothing but people fucking each others and fucking with each others.
Laws, morals, sanctity and even common sense only ever applied to commoners. The mighty could do whatever they damn well pleased because really, who would stop them? And so they did. Still do, unfortunately. Don't even try to pretend otherwise.
