Julius Caesar was not emperor. He held many offices: High priest of Juno, military tribune, quaestor, pontifex maximus, praetor, governor of Spain, consul, governor of Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul and of Illyricum, consul (twice) and dictator (three times). The term imperator pertained to a military commander and was invoked particularly when he was victorious. The term was first used to designate the commander of the whole of the Roman possessions by Augustus when he became the sole ruler of these possessions which thus became the empire commanded by an emperor. Caesar managed to become the dominant politician of Rome, but Rome was still a republic.

What did the sword look like that killed Julius Caesar?

Julius Caesar was not assassinated with a sword. He was stabbed 23 times with daggers. The Romans used the gladius, a short sword which was light, easy to handle and very useful for close man-to-man combat. They started using a long sword (the spatha) in the 1st millennium AD, several centuries after the death of Julius Caesar.

Does the modern word cesarean have to do with the present word C-section?

A Cesarean section, also called a C-section, is often believed to have come from the fact that Julius Caesar had to be cut from his mother's womb. This is not really likely, even though the operation was performed in Roman times, usually to save the infant of a mother who had died during labor. Historians don't give much credit to this story because Julius Caesar's mother bore six children after Julius and lived into Julius' adulthood, to serve as one of his advisers. Another theory of the origin of this term is that a man called Pliney the Elder, a Roman author and naturalist, wrote of an ancestor of Julius Caesar (who happened to have the same name) having been ab utero caeso" (cut from the womb), a sign of greatness from the gods.It's easy to see how over time the words 'caeso' and Caesar became merged and the circumstance of birth attributed to the emperor instead of his ancestor, or at least why this story is thought to be the origin of the term. There are a number of other languages that have similar derivites from which the use of the word could have originated.


How did Napoleon Bonaparte become the dictator and then the Emperor of France?

Caesar cipher when?

The Caesar cipher is a substitution cipher that dates back to ancient Rome, named after Julius Caesar, who reportedly used it to communicate with his generals. It works by shifting each letter in the plaintext by a fixed number of places down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of three, A becomes D, B becomes E, and so on. Although it's easy to implement, the Caesar cipher is not secure by modern standards and can be easily broken with frequency analysis or brute force.

Which 4 of the shakespeare plays do ghosts appear?

To my knowledge, Hamlet and Macbeth, are two, though I am by no means an expert. Hamlet's father's ghost appears three times, and Banquo's ghost appears to Macbeth at a banquet.There is also a ghost in his Julius Caesar, the ghost of Caesar who appears to Brutus.However, the ghostliest Shakespeare play is Richard III. Richard is visited by the ghosts of everyone he has murdered the night before the battle of Bosworth Field.All in all, there are four Shakespeare plays with ghosts.Hamlet (the ghost of Hamlet's father), Macbeth (the ghost of Banquo), Julius Caesar (the ghost of Caesar) and Richard III (the ghosts of all of Richard's victims: Prince Edward, Henry VI, his brother George, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, his two nephews, Hastings, his wife and Buckingham)This is not easy to answer. Is Ariel a ghost (the Tempest)? Is the little orphan boy in A Midsummer Nights Dream?There are several ghosts in Richard III (at least five); probably one in Troilus and Cressida; one in Julius Caesar; at least one in Macbeth (but probably more); at least one in Hamlet; and about 4 in Cymbeline.But for a proper answer one would need to define precisely what one means by 'ghost'.
