A simplistic review of Zootopian History with Focus on the Lupinian Roman Empire as written by Doctor Emeritus Lulow Mandemus. Dean of the University of Zootopia.
Written by Dan 1966 as a prelude to “Lupis Gloria Romani” by Ademi and Dan 1966
Part 5: The rise of Cesar.
Before we continue….we must review how Lupinian Roman Government and governance morphed from the beginning with Romulus to the beginning of the end of Republican government in activity even though it continued as a sort of red curtain hiding a puppet master who manipulated a vision the masses were drawn to watch.
In the beginning with Romulus to the end of monarchy, The king was at the top and the Senate, the immediate representation of the populace or “Plebes” was below the King. Only those families identified as the founding families of the city state, wolves of course called the Patritian or Patriarchas (Parents), could be members of the Senate at first. Plebes and peasantry were excluded from ever moving up to the social status required to hold Senatorial office. At first the King was the judiciary who heard the petitions and the concerns of the plebes in disputes and could render judgments. The last king of Rome, who was an absolute tyrant...killed that concept.
With the death of the monarchy and the ascendancy of representative republican government, The state government body was re-organized into three separate but equal bodies with the powers in hand to check the power of the other two.
The Executas or Executive branch was composed of two Counsulari or counsels elected by the people and approved by the Senate to hold office for one year. The Counsels ran the foreign policy of the state and the military affairs such as commanding legions in combat.
The Senate of course was made up of the Patritian class, the nobility. The Senate created laws, governed the exercise of foreign policy and more often than not...served their own interests and aggrandizement over the citizens. The Plebes, the Tribunes and the Senate were always at each others throats as the Senate tried constantly to increase their power over that promised to the plebian masses.
The Judaci or Judicial Branch was composed of Tributaris or Tribunes who served both to represent the legal concerns of the Plebes to the Senate and act as judges in affairs of law. The Tribunes could come from the upper strata of the Plebes (Lawyers, business owners, trade guild leaders) and were chosen basically for life or until they were found to be corrupt.
From the beginning of the Republic, voting was the most cherished right of the citizens. And of course over time...because oversight suffered hand in hand with the expansion of a horrific Middle Age bureaucracy, Voting was slowly being undermined and this eventually led to violence in the streets. The Second Roman Civil War came as the result of voting fraud which nullified the election of two popular counsels, replacing them with two inept candidates voted into office by the senate just in time for the first of two bloody slave revolts. The first was in the year 370 led by the scourge of Rome...Bambinus Blacktail and his lieutenant Ronocellus. But that is for another writing. Needless to say...like most slave revolt leaders, Bambinus didn’t die peacefully...he died being eaten piece by piece...alive as his body was cut apart in the celebratory banquet!
It was because of the year 370 slave revolt that the course was set for the appearance of Julius Cesar on the Roman stage, but we must digress a little backwards in time to cover a wolf who had a yet unseen paw in helping Cesar to power. That wolf was Counsel Sinius Mesalla Mawlus, the father of the heavy mobile strike legions. But he’s not remembered so much for how he re-shaped the Legions to fight in the wake of the war with Tantorius Getorex in the year 237 as much as where they would owe their allegiance and where they came from.
Mawlus made two important and far reaching changes to the Legionare system. He turned the army from one stacked only with the rich and privileged families to a career long, open to all, professional army with poor and rich members alike. It would also be the soul responsibility of the reigning Counsels of Rome to equip, train and care for these legions….including giving retirement benefits; which for Rome meant land ownership and certainly there was plenty of land to be given out...as most of it had been inhabited by pray mammals or subjugated city and nation states.
Mawlus turned the legions into efficient machines of death and destruction but he also made them dangerous to the Republic as legionaries didn’t owe their lives and fortunes to the command of the State but to the Counsel who oversaw them. As would happen with Cesar...a counsel with a good education in oratory skills, was dangerous as a serpent. Only a strand of hair kept the counsels from turning their legions on the state and after the disaster of the slave revolt in 370, a counsel named Sulivas Graka became the first Legionary General to violate the sacred enclave of Rome like a drooling beast bent on raping a virgin.
After defeating Bambinus and his slave army, Graka wanted the Senate purged as he blamed them directly not only for the corruption that had caused his loss in the previous election (that led to the slave revolt disaster) but for daring to tell him that there would be no restored elections for the next two years and that he had to resign his Counsel-ship and wait for the restored election cycle. Graka wasn’t going to wait for anything. Under the banner of “Send the patrician criminals to hell!” and “Return the voice to the Plebes!” Graka became the first Counsel of Rome to march his legions into the city, forcing the Senate to run for their lives and opening by force the participation in the Senate by the plebes, the citizenry.
Now Graka did promise that his actions were justified, they were only temporary to restore the spirit of the Roman constitution and he would abide by the results and the law to disband his army...once the election was held between himself and a populace candidate. That candidate called by a reading of noisy cheer reactions to the calling of several names, fell to a wolf named Haroldius Augustinian Graylus. Graylus wasn’t a politician as much as he was a successful banker whom the Plebes had great respect for because he was a well known philanthropist, especially when it came to veterans of the legion. His affections for the soldiery had their ties to his older son Williamus who at the time Haroldius was being chosen, was off on a far distant campaign with a wolf and pro-counsel Haroldius patronized…
Julius Cesar.
By now perhaps you must be thinking...Graka has some legitimate beefs here, he sounds totally sincere, he’s calling for an election and has asked the plebes to present a rival candidate for election. This Graka isn’t so bad….
Oh yes he was. Did you really think for one moment that Graka didn’t have the playing deck staked to his favor? Second only to Cesar, Graka had great oration skills, he was said to have a golden lyre for a mouth, and he was super ambitious. Yet….smooth talking doesn’t mean you’re going to escape scrutiny. So while Graka’s putting this all together, a herald (a messenger) is riding his horse south towards what’s now the tri-buroughs where another well known general is sitting with three full legions. This General is Cassius Pompeii. You can imagine how long it will take the Herald to reach him in this age of super slow snail mail. And by the way? Graka hates Cesar and Pompeii hates Cesar and Graka and Cesar’s super ambitious like he’s addicted to Savage serum. This has all the trappings of a three way cage match. It’s going to get very messy.
Haroldius is caught in the middle of this crazy frakus of course and when he and Graka are in the forum debating, yes our ancestors did political debates, he brings up the notion that there should be a third party of overseers to this haste-fully cobbled together election to assure the nerves of the plebes and the nobility that everything is on the level...it’s only fair right?

Except this whole crazy course of events is to intricate and too long for this writing so I will give you the quick summation.
Cesar wins. Graka commits suicide, Pompeii flees to what today is the Outback Islands, Cesar chases Pompeii, Pompeii is killed by the natives, Cesar falls in love with a stunning female fox…
Result…Cesar becomes a dictator and the Republic is…..dead, at least physically so. Keep in mind that curtain/puppet master concept I spoke of earlier. And it won’t be long before Cesar...because of his hyper ambition...will turn on his sponsor Haroldius and set himself up for assassination and as a result...Lupinian Rome will begin the downward side of its’ roller coaster peak.
