In his funeral speech, Antony uses irony and juxtaposition to only say positive things about Brutus, but twists them around to show that Caesar was not ambitious. Antony implies that Caesar sympathized with the poor, ransomed off captives to bring money to Rome, and denied to be crowned king three times when it was offered to him.

∙ 9y agoOne example that Antony gives to prove that Caesar was not ambitious was that he was bringing in prisoners and giving money to Rome. Other examples given were that when the poor cried Caesar cried too and that he refused the crown 3 times.

In Julius Caesar who doesnt want to kill Antony?
Brutus :) A quote to prove it is: Cassius: Let Antony and Caesar fall together Brutus: Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius ... (Then later in the same monologue) Brutus: And for Mark Antony, think not of him; For he can do no more than Caesar's arm When Caesar's head is off (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 161-162 and 181-183) Enjoy!

What best explains the reasons Mark Antony offered the crown to Caesar three times?
It was a put up job to prove to the people that Caesar did not want to be a king. This meant that Caesar, as dictator-for-life, could have and exercise all the powers of a king, and the people of Rome (who had a history of anti-monarchism since the days of Tarquin) would not think of him as a king. As we see from later scenes with the Roman mob, they are indeed thick enough to fall for this kind of propaganda, and it is only a few (like Brutus and Cassius) who can see through it. Unfortunately, this kind of political machination is as effective now as it was then.
Which two men helped Julius Caesar gain power?
Julius Caesar did not need much help to gain power. He did this pretty much on his own when he marched on Rome with his army, starting a civil war and seizing power militarily. He had a battle veteran legion which became battle hardened during his Gallic War. Pompey, the general of the opponents of Caesar, fled to Greece to raise troops in the Roman provinces in the east. Caesar then seized Rome. The two most important supporters of Caesar were Marc Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Mark Antony served as a military commander during Caesar's Gallic War until 50 B.C. when he went to Rome to try to mediate the conflict between Caesar and Pompey, the leader of Caesar's opponents. He was elected plebeian tribune and summoned the senate to negotiate a compromise, which Pompey was willing to accept. However, this was by Lentulus and Cato who were two hardeners of the opponents of Caesar. They forcibly expelled Antony from the senate and he fled Rome and returned to Caesar's camp in northern Italy. The senate reconvened and order Caesar to relinquish his military command, disband his armies and return to Rome to face a trial. Caesar marched on Rome with one of his legions and started the civil war which put him in power. Antony did not always prove to be a good political asset for Caesar. During the civil war Antony was appointed governor of Italy while Caesar pursued Pompey in Greece. However, Antony mishandled a political issue and dealt with it with military force. Caesar had to return to Italy to resolve the situation and removed Antony from political office and took him with him in his civil war campaigns. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was a more shrewd politician. Lepidus took charge of Rome while Caesar was fighting his enemy Pompey in Greece. He secured Caesar's appointment as dictator, which he used to preside over his own election as consul. He then became the governor of "Nearer Spain." He suppressed a rebellion there though a mixture of diplomacy and military action. Caesar made him master of the horse when he was appointed dictator the second and third time. This was the second highest position in Rome when a dictator was in charge.
Did Julius Caesar accept the crown?
Certainly not! The whole point of the exercise was to prove to the Roman people that he would not under any circumstances accept the position of king. In the minds of the Romans, the title of king was tarnished by the memory of the tyrant Tarquin Superbus who was overthrown when the Republic was first set up. Caesar was in fact the dictator of the state and held powers just as broad as those of a king, but the people would not mind, as long as he did not call himself a king. Antony later plays on this event: "You all did see upon the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"

Who were cleopata's husbands?
Did you mean Cleopatra's husbands? Well, I'll answer you question with Cleopatra. Her first husband was her first brother Ptolemy Dionysus the thirteenth. She was forced to be with him. Her second husband is known for Julius Caesar but there is no definite clue about this. They just predicted. After they got married, Caesar kicked him out from the king's place and he became the king. Her third husband was her second brother Ptolemy Dionysus the fourteenth. Caesar was assassinated around this time. Her fourth king was her son Caesarion. His father was Julius Caesar. He killed Ptolemy Dionysus the fourteenth to become a king, which means he killed his own family. Her fifth husband might have been Mark Antony. He was a general and a great friend of Julius Caesar. I heard he was adopted by Julius, which I am not sure if it is true. Cleopatra and Mark Antony was in love for sure but there is no evidence that we can prove they have married. After she heard that Mark Antony have committed suicide, she also committed suicide. This is what I know about Cleopatra's husbands. I hope it will be helpful. Please write a message on my message board, thank you.
