To understand the popularity of Julius Caesar, you have to understand the Roman class structure. Normally, the upper class had little or nothing to do with the lower classes. Caesar was one of the few patricians who did consider the lower classes and that's where he gained his popularity--with the lower classes. However his popularity with the upper class was suspect, afterall, it was upper class patricians that killed him. During his consulship, members of the senate who opposed him, tried to block all his legislation and even to prevent him from convening sessions of the senate by having his co-consul look for omens. The senate could not meet when this religious rite was being performed. (Caesar ignored this and went ahead with his plans.)
