APAD: The die is cast.

The decision is made, it's too late to change, you've past the point of no return.

 

Background:

 

In 50 BC, his term was over as governor of the province of Cisalpine Gaul, and

the Senate in Rome ordered Caesar to disband his army and return to the capital

to the south.

        

He was expressly forbidden from bringing his army across the Rubicon river. But

Caesar did exactly that because he believed he would be slaughtered on his

return to Rome. He made the statement that became our proverb of the day after

fording the river with his legions, which amounted to rebellion, a declaration

of war on the Roman Senate.

'Dice' is the plural of 'die' which refers to the small cube bearing 1 to 6 dots

on its sides. 'dice' also refers to a game of chance using (at least two) dice.

前两天在诗坛还讨论过落棋无悔的话题。章子怡版的宫二在《大宗师》里说,人生如棋落子无悔....人生若无悔...那该多沒趣呀

Caesar mistakenly as dictator, knifted down by six senators

Caesar was mistakenly considered as dictator, knifted down to death by six senators, formly allied colleagues, who also mistakenly took faith in their hands. At the time, Mark Antony, Caesar’s loyal right-hand man, was not in the senate chamber to save his life. After Caesar death, Anthony and Caesar's nephew Octavian hunted and took all those six senators' lives.  Sad story! 

Caesar, the powerful and charismatic leader of Rome, had always been a controversial figure. While some saw him as a champion of the people, others feared his growing power and influence. Unfortunately, it was this very fear that would ultimately lead to his untimely demise.
On that fateful day in the senate chamber, chaos reigned supreme. As Caesar stood before the senators, a sense of tension filled the air. Little did he know that his fate had already been sealed by a group of six senators who had once been his trusted allies.
Mistakenly believing that Caesar’s rise to power would result in the downfall of the Roman Republic, these senators conspired to take matters into their own hands. With their hearts filled with trepidation, they approached Caesar, knives concealed beneath their togas.
In the midst of the commotion, one man was notably absent from the senate chamber. Mark Antony, Caesar’s loyal right-hand man, had been summoned elsewhere, oblivious to the impending tragedy. It was a stroke of luck that would forever change the course of history.
As the daggers descended upon Caesar, the once-mighty ruler succumbed to his wounds, collapsing to the floor. The senators, now realizing the true gravity of their actions, were left with a heavy burden to bear. Regret and guilt washed over them, but it was too late to turn back the hands of time.
Word of Caesar’s assassination spread like wildfire throughout Rome, and the city was thrown into turmoil. People mourned the loss of their beloved leader, while others celebrated the fall of what they perceived as a dictatorship. Amidst this chaos, Antony began to plan his revenge.
Seizing the opportunity to avenge his fallen friend, Antony joined forces with Octavian, Caesar’s young and ambitious nephew. Together, they vowed to bring justice to those responsible for Caesar’s demise. The six senators, once blinded by misguided faith, soon found themselves facing the wrath of Antony and Octavian.
One by one, they were hunted down and brought to justice. The streets of Rome ran red with the blood of those who had dared to take Caesar’s life. The once-proud senators had become victims of their own treachery, paying the ultimate price for their misplaced beliefs.
The city mourned once more, but this time it was for the loss of the senators who had chosen to betray their leader. The sad story of Caesar’s assassination served as a stark reminder of the dangers of manipulation and misplaced trust. Rome would never be the same again, forever haunted by the memory of a leader whose life was tragically cut short.
And so, the tale of Julius Caesar, the mistaken dictator, the betrayal of trusted allies, and the subsequent revenge of Antony and Octavian, would be etched into the annals of history, a cautionary tale of the consequences that befall those who dare to challenge the natural course of fate.
