Thanks for the response! I'm very much a layman, but my impression from my reading of Mornstein-Marx in Julius Caesar and the Roman People was he thought it was a bit of myth-making by Pollio and it didn't really have political importance, but this might be me just misreading the source.

The r/AskHistorians thread in question: www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Is there any truth to the statement that the Rubicon River held no real importance when Caesar crossed it? I first encountered this theory browsing r/AskHistorians and since then have wondered what the truth was ever since. Even went to read parts of Mornstein-Marx but its still unclear to me.

dunno why its commendable tbh. we all stand up and say things we believe in every day. literally doing it rn btw
