about

Let’s go back to 80 BC, when Julius Caesar was just 20 years old and was sent to negotiate an alliance in Bithynia, which would be around the north of modern Turkey.
Caesar made quite an impression on the king, Nicomedes the 4th and ended up staying for some time, which started a rumor back in Rome stating that the 2 were sleeping together.
It got to the point where some senators and Caesar’s own soldiers were frequently making fun of him for that, he got called "every man's wife and every woman's husband” and ended up with the nickname “The Queen of Bithynia”.

I wrote this track as an homage to the millions of people who experienced such discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation.
Besides the suffering, I also wanted it to carry the feeling of hope that forbids us to give up as we work towards a more open and accepting society.
