THE FORUM ROMANUM Perhaps you’ve been there before, or just wanted to go. You know, “Et tu, Brute?” That was Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Don’t we learn most about ourselves and our history through Shakespeare and the Bible? That is what Orson Wells thought, but he also thought we were being invaded by Martians. At least for one evening.
