How did julius caesar affect rome?

Answer 1

Julius Caesar effected Rome because he was loved by his army, and everyone that would fight for him wouldn't give up because they cared for him, only for the reason that they cared was because he treated them as equals, ate with them, slept with them, didn't treat them like dirt. Truth be told, it was because he was a kind leader to every one of his followers. He also had a large influence on Rome because of his battles in Gaul (present day France and Belgium)

Answer 2

Caesar concentrated power in his hands and implemented reforms which were used by his successor, Augustus, to create the rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Republic. Indeed, Caesar's actions paved the way for Augustus' creation of rule by emperors.

Caesar turned the senate into an instrument for his power. Caesar gave himself the title of "Prefect of the Morals" which gave him the same powers as the censor, but without the checks censors were subjected to. This enabled him to increase the membership of the senate from 600 to 900 and to enrol new senators (a power previously held by the censors) from among his supporters. Augustus retained this prerogative, but returned the size of the senate to 600. He ended the election of the officers of state and turned them into his appointees. This change was also retained by Augustus to make the emperor an absolute ruler. Caesar also assumed permanent tribunician powers, which allowed him to control the plebeian council and the plebeian tribunes. Control over these institutions which represented the plebeians was retained by Augustus. They disappeared shortly after the reign of Tiberius. Caesar also turned the popular assemblies into rubber stamp bodies. So did Augustus.

Caesar granted full Roman citizenship to the various Italic peoples. This issue had previously caused war between Rome and her Italian allies. He took steps to turn Italy into a province. He reduced the term of provincial governors to one and two years to re-establish Rome's control over the provinces which had turned into fiefs of the governors. The process of reasserting the control of the central government was completed by Augustus by establishing the emperor as an absolute ruler.

Caesar set the precedent for the imperial tradition of getting the senate to bestow titles on the ruler. He was given the titles of "Father of the Fatherland" ("pater patriae") and imperator (winner in battle). This title was not the same as the modern title of emperor. Originally imperator was a title of the consuls, proconsuls, preators and propraetors; that is, the officers of state of the Republic who had imperium, which was the power to command an army. Later it became an honorary title given to military commanders who were acclaimed imperator (winner) by their troops after a victory. The commanders retained the titles only until he celebrated a triumph in Rome. Imperator was one of the titles Augustus got the senate to give him.

Caesar created a personality cult and a personal religion which was taken up later by the emperors. He deified himself by claiming to be the son of Venus and created a semi-official a religious cult centred on his person with Mark Antony as its high priest. At first, such human divinity was rejected by the masses, but his popularity changed this. This paved the way for Augustus and other emperors to create religious cults centred on themselves. Caesar was also the first ruler to have coins issued bearing his image. The later emperors did the same. He was also allowed to wear triumphal dress whenever he liked, which set the precedent for the ruler wearing purple, which had previously worn by the monarchs and was later worn by the emperors.

Other important reforms by Caesar were a land reform to distribute land to the poor and to retiring soldiers, a law which wrote off 1/4 of all debts, a law which rewarded families with many children to encourage the re-population of Italy, a limit on the purchase of luxury items by the rich as conspicuous consumption was a problem, the banning professional guilds, except for the old ones, (many of them were subversive political factions) the creation of a police force, and the abolition the exiting tax system and return to the practice of allowing the cities to collect taxes directly, without needing Roman intermediaries. This ended tax farming, the exploitation of tax collecting by corrupt Roman tax collectors who used it to line their pockets.

Answer 3

Julius Caesar effectively destroyed Rome's political system. As a dictator his word was law and many times he ignored the senate and pushed through his own ideas. He appointed consuls and magistrates for years in advance without the proper voting by the people's assemblies. His time in authority was a prelude to the principate founded by his adopted son, Augustus.
