#publius cornelius cethegus

‘Is there a point to any of this or do you just want to see how much more I can take?’ snaps Crassus.
‘Oh, I knew there was still some bite left in you,’ says Cethegus, thrilled.
Cethegus teaches Crassus the art of politics and the ways of business. Sulla is not a fan.

#WAHOO i had a lot of fun writing the comic arc for these three#absolute nightmare dynamic from hell#cethegus has a line trying to figure out what crassus likes before realizing that it's less a matter of preference and more that sulla#got to him first. and you never forget. uh. the guy who unmakes you and leaves you rendered raw or something#like everything after is this weird intersection of love and hate and revisiting old wounds because they're familiar and feel like home#AU cethegus chokes crassus with a rosary because sulla choked him with a chain necklace that had his patron saint on it#same thing. you can never go back home but you can press on the bruise and the satisfaction is the same#tldr; crassus is just so fucking weird about sulla it is in the marrow of his bones. odi et amo. outliving someone is the ultimate payback#build on top of their bones like they built on top of you.#hang on. what is it. lucullus calling pompey a vulture. same with sulla and crassus only crassus won't say it#he'll kick out pompey's legs from under him for doing the same thing tho. only one person gets to treat you like that and so forth#komiks tag#drawing tag#roman republic tag#publius cornelius cethegus#lucius cornelius sulla felix#marcus licinius crassus#that other guy with crassus is cassius' father probably. or some guy. there are so many guys#OH cethegus is kind of driving a knife into the sulla shaped hole in crassus' ribcage by greeting him while he's out with sulla#he's doing that on purpose. it's like. it's fine. he's also doing it to annoy sulla.#what are sulla's feelings on the matter? well. he's responsible for the eyebrow scar crassus has. so.#hi to everyone who read these tags. crassus is a psychosexual mess. please clap for sulla.

Every time I see a mention of Cethegus I am so intrigued.

CETHEGUS: Enquire not. He shall die.
Shall, was too slowly said. He's dying. That
is yet too slow. He's dead.

PUBLIUS CORNELIUS CETHEGUS
what a guy. what a guy! rome sure was full of guys
Crassus, Catilina, and the Vestal Virgins, Ronald Syme
Crassus: The First Tycoon, Peter Stothard
Plutarch, Crassus
#marcus licinius crassus#publius cornelius cethegus#drawing tag#roman republic tag#tris homines#centhegus is definitely the kind of guy where the barkada call him bossing. crassus too unless this is the army and then you call him sir#step out of line at your own peril#cassius also gets called bossing by the barkada. brutus does not#this categorization/classification probably means nothing to most of you but it is essential to. me.

Cardinal I'm a little confused, is the Cethegus you draw the same as the Cethegus that is implicated in the Catiline conspiracy?
different Cethegus! the one I've drawn is Publius Cornelius Cethegus, and he most likely died sometime before or around 66 BCE
