Untold Chapters of Roman History

Once when Julius Caesar went out of Rome
The city was taken over by a ‘g’naughty gnome
When Caesar said, “HOW DARE YOU!”
The gnome was gone and Caesar’s hair too
And with the hair made his harmonious home.


Author’s Note:
Though it is a popular belief that Julius Caesar was not bald, it is actually a myth made popular by Caesar himself to hide his shameful secret. The hair (as seen in pictures and Asterix-Comics) is actually a cleverly crafted wig made by the gnome in exchange of Caesar’s ear drum (revealed in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” Act I Scene ii line 212).
