Julius Caesar's Trust Issues Mug | Et Tu, HR?

Office politics can be brutal. Just ask Julius Caesar, whose colleagues took workplace disagreements to rather unfortunate extremes on the Ides of March, 44 BCE. His assassination by a group of Roman senators, including his former ally Brutus, remains one of history's most famous examples of political betrayal.

This Roman history mug reimagines the conspiracy as a particularly disastrous performance review. The design features Caesar evaluating his colleagues' loyalty, with options ranging from "Loyal" to "Mostly Loyal" before arriving at the ominous "Et Tu?" The punchline, "Et Tu, HR?" transforms Shakespeare's famous line into a complaint worthy of the ancient world's most dysfunctional workplace.

The reverse features a decidedly unimpressed Caesar wearing sunglasses beneath the declaration "Julius Caesar's Trust Issues." It's an entertaining combination of Roman history, literary reference, and modern corporate humor.

Made from ceramic with a contrasting black handle and interior, the mug comes in 11 oz and 15 oz sizes and is both microwave and dishwasher safe. It's a funny gift for Roman history buffs, classics students, history teachers, or coworkers who appreciate a good joke about office politics.
