I was recently in Rome doing the walking tour thing and my guide, Inger, told me that Ceasar had been snuffed at some place called the Curia of Pompeii located near this spot called Argentina Ferra which is about a mile from the Forum. I have poor research skills but would like to check this out. A cursory internet search gave me a couple of corroborations but they’re hardly authoritative. Anyone got any clean, nonsarcastic advice as to what I should do next?
Among other things, the Latin word curia meant any building where the Roman Senate met. Over the years there were several different curiae, including the Curia Pompeii. It was named after its builder, Pompey, the general whom Caesar had defeated in the Civil War. Caesar was stabbed there while attending a meeting of the Senate.

“Where did Brutus do Julius?”
That’d be in the butt, Bob.
Sorry.
Shakespeare has Marc Antony say much the same in Act III scene II of “Julius Caesar” as does Bibliophage.
“And, in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey’s statue,
Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.”
That statue of Pompey is generally agreed to have been the centerpiece of the Curia Pompeii.

Plutarch, in his Life of Caesar says “But the place which was destined for the scene of this murder, in which the senate met that day, was the same in which Pompey’s statue stood, and was one of the edifices which Pompey had raised and dedicated with his theatre to the use of the public… Cassius, just before the act, is said to have looked toward’s Pompey’s statue, and silently implored his assistance…” If you can locate where Pompey’s statue was, you will have located the scene of the muder.
Damnit you beat me to it!!!

Well if it’s good enough for waterj2 and Dani Filth to flaut the OP, that’s good enough for me …
I was going to comment that several postings to this thread are in the wrong forum, but I could not, in good conscience, release such an awful pun on the readership.
Does anyone else have a mental image of Paul Anka warbling, “Rinse the blood from my toga…”?
No? Good; it’s probably not contagious, at least.
Can I just say I’m impressed you know Wayne and Schuster? And that’s one of my favourite sketches - although the Western Hamlet they did is pretty damn good too.
I think he did him in the forum. Or maybe it was the duodenum. Possibly the cerebrum.
