Roman humour
Ask anyone that knows me and they'll tell you that I laugh like a maniac at any type of historical joke. Even as I write this I'm watching Season Two of Hercules.

I don't get it.
They a playing battleships. The one with the laurel leaves is supposed to be Caesar Augustus who was assasinated by a group that included his close friend Brutus.
The pun is in the caption 'A2, Brute' which is an allusion to Caesar's last reported words, according to William Shakespeare, 'Et tu, Brutus?'
meaning 'and you, Brutus?'
Actually, just to clarify, it's Julius Caesar who was assassinated by Brutus, not Caesar Augustus.
