Help With Metaphor

[wayc]

Someone smarter than me recently started talking to me in metaphors about our troubled past. Ugh. I got some of them, but not this one...

"Ceasar, on the senate floor; Scipio, when the blade fell."

If someone said that to you, what would it mean? This would be in the context of love and deception. lol

Thanks. =)

If someone said that to me, I'd say he watches too much Star Trek.
