Et tu Brute ? G20 orders EU to act

In unusually direct language, finance ministers and central bankers of the Group of 20 major economies said they expected an October 23 European Union summit to "decisively address the current challenges through a comprehensive plan".

On 23 October 42 BCE, Mark Antony and Octavian defeated Brutus at Philippi.

Brutus committed suicide.

The Germanic coup d'etat continuously picks key dates in Roman history for its fits and starts.

Strange.
