Question

Fans discuss the identity of a classical bust visible in Babu's cafe and speculate it may represent Brutus as a commentary on Jerry's betrayal of Babu.

In the Cafe, Jerry quite obviously stands beside a bust of someone in Babu's cafe. There is a message there reflecting on Jerry's attempt at helping Babu.

Anyone recognize the bust? (I know there are a lot of classical scholars in this newsgroup :-) - maybe our new UK friends who went to public schools...)

I feel it might be someone like Brutus who stabbed Ceasar in the back - or something like that. Meaning Jerry is stabbing Babu in the back.

Also this is the episode where Elaine blurts out a latin phrase at the beginning. Cassus Belli or something like that - but we went through that a few years ago...

I found a pretty good picture of Brutus: http://www.humanities.ccny.cuny.edu/history/reader/brutus.htm

But the bust looks familiar though
