Julius Caesar returns to Rome after his ten year campaign to subjugate
the Gauls.
He gets up to make a speech in the forum and begins "Fellow citizens, I
return to you from Transalpine Gaul and Gallia Comata, where I have
extended the Roman hegemony and contibuted to the glory of Rome. In
battle, we have killed 50,000 Gauls."
Up pipes Decimus Junius Brutus " Liar, we only killed 25,000 Gauls'
"Shhh ! Says Mark Anthony "Don't you know that in Europe, away Gauls
count double ?"
