Julius Caesar was not an emperor. Throughout his lifetime Rome was still a republic. Neither was he bad. He was extremely popular among the people who saw his as the hero of the people. This was the real foundation of his power. Caligula's reign started well, but it was said that he became mad after recovering from an illness. It was also said that he became cruel, but some historians think that these accounts might be exaggerated. The one emperor whose reign was one of crushing cruelty was Commodus.
Rome had always had its fair share of bad emperors. Caligula, Nero, Commodus are such examples. In a time when Left-handed people were considered unlucky, Emperor Caligula often appeared in public dressed in women's clothing. His favorite horse, Incitatus, lived in a marble stable, with an ivory manger. Caligula also tried to make him a consul the highest elected office of the Roman Republic and the most important job in the government. All classical accounts of Gaius 'Caligula' agree that he possessed elements of madness, cruelty, viciousness, extravagance and megalomania. He is described as a coarse and cruel despot with an extraordinary passion for sadism and a fierce energy. He could get extremely excited and angry. Caligula was tall, spindly, pale and prematurely bald. He was so sensitive about his lack of hair that it was a capital crime for anyone to look down from a high place as Caligula passed by. Sometimes he ordered those with a fine head of hair to be shaved. He made up for lack of hair on his head by an abundance of body-hair. About this too he could be equally sensitive; even the mention of "hairy goats" in conversation was dangerous. He used to grimace, which he practiced in front of a mirror, and he was an impressive orator. His great-uncle, the Emperor Tiberius, once said: 'There was never a better slave not a worse master than Caligula.
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Mark Antony reveals his descent into moral ambiguity after Caesar's assassination. Firstly, his manipulation of the Roman populace during the funeral speech, where he artfully sways them against Brutus and the conspirators, showcases his cunning and willingness to exploit emotions for power. Additionally, his alliance with Octavius and Lepidus, as they discuss the need to eliminate their enemies, underscores a shift towards ruthless pragmatism, highlighting his transformation into a figure driven by ambition and revenge.
It would have changed history, looking back in hindsight. But, we wouldn't have known that the future had changed if we had lived at the time. Maybe another Caesar would have acted the same way?

100-144 BC. that is the time period in which Julius Cesar ruled over the roman land That is wrong Caesar was born July 12th 100BC and was assassinated on March 15th 44BC. Remember BC goes from high to low and AD (the time period we are in now) goes from low to high.
no he made it worse
Caligula was the next emperor, but he became mentally ill shortly afterward and was an even worse emperor than Tiberius. However, since he generally limited his excesses and atrocities to the higher families of Rome and provided great entertainment to the people, he was actually well liked by the plebeians
It was spoken by a fan of Pompey, who was defeated by Julius Caesar. When Caeser marched through Rome as victor, the speech was aimed at all those who were cheering Caesar instead of mourning the defeat of Pompei. The peoples hearts were made of stone, and they had no feelings (senseless).

Probably Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler. My choice is Jesus Christ and the Emperor Constantine. One is the origin of Christianity and the other was instrumental in initiating the first step in formulating the Bible that we know today by appointing the Council Christian bishops at Nicaea in 325 to determine which beliefs of Christianity were and were not acceptable. Christianity, for better or worse, has influenced every corner of the world.

None at all. He illustrates the dangers of hereditary rulership. As a child he was idolised, mainly because of his father, who was a genuinely heroic person. But on coming into office, following Tiberius, a bad ruler, he proved much worse. Read the novel by Robert Graves "I, Claudius" for an entertaining account of Caligula's time in office (based on the surviving historical accounts).
The emperor Nero was said to have persecuted the Christans in 64. There were executions in the Decian persecution by the emperor Decius of 250 and in the persecution by the emperor Valerian from 257 to 259. The worse persecution was under the emperor Diocletian, who unleashed the Great Persecution of 305-313.
