For a while, Prigozhin was riding so high that he started channeling Julius Caesar AND Edward G. Robinson’s Dathan:

It’s the Ides of March.
IDES say that the Department of Justice will assuredly indict you, arrest you, and eventually MARCH (i.e., “perp walk”) you off to prison, where you’ll die a dour dotard.

For centuries, Lucius Cornelius Sulla has been reviled as a maniacal tyrant who defiled the Roman constitution and instituted bloody purges, but some modern historians assert that he has been judged too harshly. They present him as a republican champion who predominantly acted out of necessity and often with the best of intentions. As always, the truth is more complex.
