And isn't it odd that the Julian year contained the month of July also named after Julius and representing the summer solstice when the sun reaches the highest point in the kingdom of heaven? On astrology charts, this area is marked "I.C." as an abbreviated Latin phrase meaning "bottom of sky." I.C. also stands for Iulius Caesar. It could also stand for Iesous Christos--another Green Man who was crucified in the spring and whose death brought forth rebirth. So here you have two "kings" (both of whom did not accept the title) that were killed by piercing by others in power who feared him. One betrayed by Judas, one of 12 disciples, and one by Brutus (they rhyme by coincidence, I quite assure you) one of 12 assassins. Maybe the diaspora Jews in the Greek Eastern Empire, who hated the Latin Western Empire, wanted their own Julius and coded him in the person of their savior, Jesus, and placed him in Palestine. Then they told everyone he was the true king while Caesar was merely an earthly, temporal one. They were told to render unto Caesar those things that are Caesar's and render unto God those things that are God's. And within 400 years, the Western Empire was reduced to little more than a smoking Goth-sacked heap of ruins.
