Q: (Atriedes) Is the bust over there a correct likeness of you?

Q: (L) "Younger" as in how old?
A: 43
Assuming this is the Arles bust, that would mean it's about 10 years older than archaeologists think (_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arles_bust#cite_note-9). And when Caesar was 43, he was in Gaul, which makes sense if it was found in a French river.
Also, didn't Laura post an article sometime about the year Caesar was born? Was it 100 or 102 BC? In other words, did he live till he was almost 56, or almost 58?
Off-the-wall suggestion: FOTCM should adopt a new calendar (once we've got it all figured out). It could start with "45 BC", the year Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, which could be Year Zero. Then "44 BC", the year of Caesar's death, can be our "1 AC" (Anno Caesaris).
1635 YA - Caesar's birth (assuming 100 BC) - 55 BC [Before Caesar?]
1580 YA - introduction of the Julian Calendar - 0 AC
432 YA - introduction of Gregorian Calendar - 1148 AC
Current Year - 1580 AC
Having a year zero means you don't get that annoying -1/1 jump (e.g., 5 BC to 5 AD is 9 years). And it divides the chronology nicely: Pre-Julian Calendar (1 BC is 1 year before the new calendar, 1 AC is 1 year after the new calendar), Julian Calendar (1148 years), and then the Gregorian Calendar for the last 432 years.
