WHAT ON EARTH Julius Caesar Pencil Holder Stab Back Ides of March Pencil Holder for Desk, Roman Bust Statue with Back Stabbed Holes

I got this as a gag gift for my father. He immediately got the joke and right now it’s sitting proudly on the kitchen counter, waiting for more pens to hold. It’s surprisingly well made- it’s decently weighted to keep it from toppling over from the betrayal? It also holds a good number of pens

Got this for my Latin teacher as a gift. He LOVED it!

You quickly find out the Shakespeare fans in the office. Plus it holds your pens!

Our daughter is an art history professor, and a huge world history buff. My husband found this for her, and we ordered it as a Christmas gift to display on her desk at the university. She LOVES it, along with everyone else who happens to go into her office. She said it's a HUGE hit. It's sturdy and pens and pencils fit in it just fine. I do recommend the heavier one to the cheaper and much lighter version. What a find!

I bought this as a gift for a friend whose birthday is the Ides of March. He keeps it on his desk at work (a creative environment) and it has proven to be a fun conversation starter.

Because it exceeded them! I bought it as a Christmas gift for my brother who loves Roman history. Seriously, I did not expect this thing to be as big or detailed as it is. Maybe it is my fault for not looking at the size details. Do I think it is worth nearly fifty bucks? Personally no, but I suppose my brother's reaction will be the true test! Can't really speak for the sturdiness of course, as Caesar will remain in his Styrofoam tomb until December 25th. Even then the true test of his durability likely will not come around until my brother has some little Brutuses running around, as he is pretty careful with things and kids have a knack for destruction.

This is the best gift for a history teacher with a sense of humor! I debated spending a few dollars less for the less heavy bust, but decided a bit more expensive but heavier is better. I'm glad I made that choice because it's good to have some weight when pulling pencils in and out of the bust. The only drawback is the size of the holes only fit #10 pencils or Bic stick pens or the like. However, I bought it for the humor more than for the purpose. A great addition to any desk!

My dad is enjoying stabbing Caesar in the back when he puts his pens and pencils away. It's a great gag gift and makes for conversation when people visit.
