Explanation: Caesar, in his youth, was kidnapped and held for ransom by pirates. Amongst other curiousities of the story is that when Caesar, then a relatively unknown young man, heard he was being ransomed for 20 talents (620kg/1366bs) of silver, he demanded they INCREASE the ransom to 50 talents! A man has to know what he’s worth!
They should have killed him and dumped his body over the side.
He came back, crucified them, and then took the talents with him.
Tbh, I know I’m standing on the shoulders of giants here, but if you unexpectedly kidnap someone way more valuable than expected, you should always just kill them and drop the ransom request
Pirates chuckle: “I’m in danger”
