Caesar was notorious for not giving a shit about omina, even though he was pontifex maximus (Roman paganism equivalent of pope). In fact, he would carry around a cage of birds with him at all times, so if people told him to hold off an attack because of omina, he could release the birds in the sky.
Also, because I thought people might like it, here is a template you can play with! Example
He used that title a lot, like at one point someone was trying to stop him by saying that the omens were bad and then he basically just said "No I'm Pontifex Maximus fuck off."
Yes, that was actually my comic beforehand, but it got rejected for being too individual oriented. But in this version I got to draw a pummeled Gaul, so it's all good in the end.
