Who are the main characters of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare?

It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.

Why Is Julius Caesar the title of Julius Caesar?

The most important character in Julius Caesar is not Julius Caesar, but it is Marcus Brutus. The reason why Shakespeare put Julius Cesar as the title is simply because it was more appropriate. It is the killing of Julius Caesar, which supplies the motive for the play. The death of Julius Caesar takes place before the middle of the play, however, his spirit dominates the entire work. It is the spirit of Julius Caesar, alive or dead, that supplies the struggle for Brutus and fellow conspirators.

What Roman emperor built a basilica planned for by Julius Caesar?

Julius Caesar did not plan to build a huge basilica to the Basilica Sempronia. He demolished the Basilica Sempronia (which was named after Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, who built it in 169 BC). He replaced it with the Basilica Juliua. It was not built by Augustus instead. Caesar undertook the project in 54 BC (ten year before his assassination). He carried out most of the construction work himself and inaugurated in 46 BC. The construction was not complete. What Augustus did, was the completion of the work.
