Dropped my daily grain of salt, I am now happy.

"[After the Yorktown, Lafayette sent his aide James McHenry to congratule Hamilton and Laurens.] The first officer he recognized was his friend Col. Laurens—when—embracing him he exclaimed here is Caesar but where is Alexander—He is safe replied Laurens"
—Karen Robbins, James McHenry, Forgotten Federalist
So McHenry refereed to John as Caesar which is:
-Very cool.
-Pretty ironic considering that John used to have a horse named Brutus.
John and Alex were pretty much a package deal during the war, sadly that didn't continue after 1782.
It's August I don't have to apologize for being angsty.
