what great victory has Caesar just accomplished
Julius Caesar began his conquest of Gaul in 58 BC. He had just about finished up in 52 BC with the victory at Alesia.
The most famous one is "veni, vidi, vici." It is usually translated as "I came. I saw, I conquered." However, it actually means "I came, I saw, I won." Caesar said it when he won a lighting victory against the king of Pontus (in northwestern Turkey). Casar was in Egypt when this king defeated Roman troops in what is now Turkey. With a forced march he reached the area incredibly fast and then won a quick battle. This sentence was meant to be sarcastic to Pompey the Great, who, prior to Caesar's military successes, was considered to be Rome's Greatest general, and whom Caesar had just defeated. Veni vidi vici was displayed on several signs during the parade for Caesar's triumph (victory celebrations) in Rome.
When he took over he allowed the people to practice their own religions and do the same things that they were already doing. Julius Caesar was just their in case of disaster and military issues.
Personality-wise they had nothing in common. The only tie between them would be their family clan or gens and the link is Augustus. Now Augustus was Julius Caesar's great nephew, also of the Julian clan. The gens or clan nomen was hereditary. Nero's mother was the great-grandaughter of Augustus, thereby making Nero a Julian, just as Caesar was.
Julius agustus rufous. Caesar wasn't a real name it was just the title he was given.
Julius Caesar began his conquest of Gaul in 58 BC. He had just about finished up in 52 BC with the victory at Alesia.
The Romans celebrated "triumphs" when their armies defeated their enemies, in which the victory was celebrated and the victorious commander praised. Such a triumph is celebrated in Shakespeare's play Coriolanus. But here Caesar's victory was not against the enemies of Rome, but against one of Rome's greatest heroes, Gnaius Pompeius Magnus, otherwise known as Pompey the Great. Caesar's victory came about in a civil war started by his deliberate flouting of the constitutional rulers of Rome, the Senate and its consul Pompey. The tribunes consider that such a victory is not the proper subject of a triumph, as the enemies of Rome have not been defeated, and chide the working people who are celebrating, saying, "Knew you not Pompey?" Caesar, of course, has the tribunes murdered, just in case you didn't know what kind of a guy he was.
Not a character in the play, but a topic of discussion. Historically, Julius Caesar defeated his rival Pompey and his sons in a series of civil wars before becoming sole dictator of Rome. The play starts just after the last of these battles. The common people are celebrating the victory, but the tribunes remind them that this was a defeat of Romans and great Romans at that. "Knew you not Pompey?" reminds them of that fact.

Rome was just about constantly involved in some type of military action from the time of Caesar's assassination to the victory of Octavian at Actium -- a period of thirteen years. These were in the nature of power grabs by the ambitious with the exception of the defeat of Brutus and Cassius and the civil war between Antony and Octavian.Rome was just about constantly involved in some type of military action from the time of Caesar's assassination to the victory of Octavian at Actium -- a period of thirteen years.

His first name is actually Gaius Julius Caesar but he is better known as just Julius Caesar.
The name of Julius Caesar, as just Caesar, came to mean king or emperor.

Now Augustus was Julius Caesar's great nephew, also of the Julian clan. The gens or clan nomen was hereditary.

Well, the usual was going on. Julius Caesar was hungry for power, and now that he was at such a seat of power, he made sure that no one could take it away from him. Don't take this the wrong way, Julius Caesar was a great ruler. It's just that he was clawing for power, which is normal.
They are angry because Caesar's victory was not against barbarians or enemies of Rome but against Pompey and his sons, who were great Romans. It is no triumph for Rome to see the defeat of one of its greatest citizens.
