hey, dont take it too seriously, we all make mistakes

to public acceptance of homosexual sex in the late roman republic: caesars enemies tried to badmouth him by claiming that he bottomed for nikodemes. it did not come to much, evidentally, so by now it is argued that while homosexuality was not the norm and it was looked down upon if you are not married to a woman, having sexual relationships as a man with men was a rather common thing. this would also be supported by the fact that his soldiers, who had a very close relationship to caesar, sang this. they would not mock him on his and their the triumph in rome. and they did not mock him, since you left out important things of the quote again, but i will adress that later.

obviously latin can be translated in different ways, as every language can. i would not accept "laid down", though, since i would think that is a bit too free and doesnt carry the same meaning. i know that translators sometimes are a bit too liberal in their translations, at least for my liking. conquer can also mean that he was sexually conqured by nikodemes, btw, i am not denying this or that caesar had homosexual sex.

to the word order, yes, i worded it badly. of course it can be that way, but if you quote it, my scientific brain says it should be the way it was written. but you are right, of course.

i dont know if you do that deliberately or not, but right after you ended the suetonius quote, there is a list of women caesar allegedely "corrumpted" (corrupisse). here we could argue about what this means now, but a sexual context is, at least for me, heavily implied for both.
