I am adding this paragraph to this discussion of Rome Reborn in America because what I discuss at length in Dinner With DaVinci is another important character. I also make the case for America being the rebirth place of many great Romans. You heard it here first! Others will imitate, but it is this author's own je ne sais quoi: soul that revealed this truth.
Others believe the Biblical statements, while true of Rome being reborn as Rome. Well, Rome will always be Rome and the home of the Pope and Catholic Church, but what I propose is absolutely novel. And those who are making money off my idea (you know who you are) fine, I want it out there.
Cleopatra had many children. Her oldest child from Cesaer was Cesaerean. He lived to be a teenager, nearly a grown man. She had another five children (including fraternal twins) with Marc Anthony.
After and before the death of Cleopatra VII and Marc she worried that her son would not be safe. He had royal blood, he was a prince of the blood, no doubt. What happened to him? History tells us that he was en route to a safe haven with one of Cleopatra's people. But he never made it. He was killed on the road by one of Augustus' men.
Scholars have always wondered the source of Will's royal writings. It is no wonder to me. He was there. He was a prince of the blood. The parallels between St. Paul (writer of most of the Bible) and William Shakespeare are great. Of course he knew the Bible as a Catholic growing up in religious England, but he also knew his own heart.
The source of Will's writings was never Roger Bacon but Will himself. His life of apotheosis was that of Abe Lincoln. Therefore, we see not four great being moving from Rome to America, but a fifth, not forgotten, Abraham Lincoln. The parallels between JFK and Lincoln are great. Why? Because Heloise, was also the mother of little Abe as Nancy Hanks Lincoln. She gave birth to him then died young.
This explains his fascination with all things Lincoln.
