1. Even though Sextus is crazy, that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't smart going about his business. About 30% of his huge trade profits go to the common man, meaning the average person will take a lot of convincing. The toughest fights are the ones you can't win just by cutting the fat bastard in half with a sword, because he's actually much better liked than his dad was(think a combination of Nero, Caligula, and the cruelest woman you can think of when she's on her period).

2. Deximus had to fight a guerilla war at first because the screwed over nobles who knew Sextus' true face but didn't tell anyone because assassins are a thing we're so weak.
