Why is Pompey important to the plot in Julius Caesar?
Pompey is important in the plot because Julius Caesar ironically dies next to his statue after Caesar kills him. Pompey was important to the plot of Julius Caesar for many reasons. The first is because Pompey was part of that original trio of people that were going to rule together. Then Julius Caesar freaks out and wants to rule by himself so he goes off and decides to kill Pompey. This makes Julius Caesar very big headed. He begins to like himself a bit too much, and does things just to get attention and pretend that he is modest (like refusing the crown three times before finally accepting it.) This leaves Pompey's people in a bit of a predicament. They have to choose between death, and following Julius Caesar's rule. Many of them decide to follow Caesar, and many decide to just die. Cassius and Brutus have a similar relationship. Cassius needs Brutus to be able to go through with his plan. Without Brutus, he wouldn't get away with it because he wouldn't have an insider in on the assassination plans. Even if Cassius went through with the plans to kill Caesar with the help of Brutus, and he was successful; people would look down on this. Brutus has the power to make anything he does wrong look like the politically correct thing to do. If the group gets away with killing Caesar, then they will need someone to make everyone else see their side. That is Brutus. So in the end, Brutus is being used intentionally, and Pompey being murdered was a good thing to Caesar.
What rule did Julius Caesar play in the decline of the republic and the rise of the empire?
First of all be clear that Rome was already an empire under the republic. The two are not the same. A republic is a form of government while an empire is a united conglomerate. By the time of Julius Caesar, the republic was dead, killed by its own corruption.Caesar, by accepting and not relinquishing the office of dictator, ended the authority of the senate and of the people and paved the way for the principate.
What did Antony and Octavius argue about?
Octavian (later he was called Augustus) and mark Antony fought a civil war over who would rule the Roman Empire alone (The final Civil War of the Roman Republic, 32-30 BC). Octavian won and became the first Roman emperor under the name of Augustus.Augustus's original name was Gaius Octavius. It changed to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) when he was adopted by Julius Caesar in his will in 44 BC. He renamed himself Gaius Julius Caesar Divis Filus (Gaius Son of the Divine Julius Caesar) in 42 BC when Julius Caesar was deified and Imperator Caesar Divi Filius in 38 BC. In 27 BC, when he became the first Roman Emperor, he was given the religious honorary tile of Augustus. His name became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. His traditional name in common parlance became Augustus.Historians use Octavian to refer to the period from 44 BC to 27 BC and Augustus to refer to the period from 27 BC to 14 BC (the year of his death).

What are the contributions of Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar contributed much to the world. He expanded Roman territory into Gaul and put an end to the trouble in Spain. He gave us the 365 day calendar plus the leap year. He established the first "newspaper" where that day's Senate business was posted for everyone to read. He built the forum Julia for public affairs and he built the temple of Venus Genatrix.
