Well, it was always difficult to find stories which Shakespeare and the many other playwrights working in London at the time could turn into plays. One source was Roman history. Shakespeare and most others of his time had studied Plutarch in school and so knew the history of Julius Caesar. It made for fairly exciting theatre. Ben Jonson wrote a play about Sejanus and another about Catiline. Shakespeare wasn't the only playwright writing about the Roman period.

Does the Julius Caesar play written by Shakespeare have any deaths in it?
I would think so... Julius Caesar lived a very tragic life. And most of Shakespeare`s plays have deaths in it :)
Is it true that Julius Caesar was one of Shakespeare's greatest fictional characters?
Shakespeare wrote a play called Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is not one of the main characters, he appears only three times. The scene of his murder is very famous. And of course, Julius Caesar is not a fictional character. He was a real historical person. I think that the person who asked the question knew that Julius Caesar existed.

What was the first play Shakespeare staged at the Globe Theatre?
You mean the newly built Globe Theatre, of course. The Globe was not just moved from North London and renamed; although it used the timbers of the old Theatre, it was in most respects altogether new. Many people think that Julius Caesar may have been the first play performed there. We have a diary record of a man who went to see it shortly after the theatre was built.

What classification was Julius Caesar to Aristotle?
Aristotle died long before the historical Julius Caesar was born. Shakespeare wrote his play over 1600 years after Caesar's death. Aristotle didn't know anything about Caesar or Shakespeare's play. Some people think that Aristotle's remarks on drama (which he based on one play, Oedipus Rex) are applicable to works written thousands of years later in an idiom which did not even exist in his time. It's a debatable point.
What was Julius Caesar like as a soldier?

In what period do scholars think the Book of Job was written?
A:The Book of Job consists of two layers, the most recent of which was written after the Babylonian Exile, but using a good deal of more ancient material. This is in a way comparable to Shakespeare writing about Julius Caesar - we would recognise Shakespeare's play as dating from the Reformation period, but that the story of Julius Caesar refers to the late Roman republic. Much of the evidence for the dating of Job is found in the authors allusions to books recently written and to concepts that did not enter Judaism until the Exile.
In Julius Caesar did portia really swallow hot coals or was that just a metaphor?
I think Shakespeare wanted her to swallow hot coals because it is possible but very painful. But in the movie i don't think the people really did.
