Julius Caesar

23 Knife wounds were inflicted upon Julius Ceasar

Julius Caesar implemented reforms which would later lay the foundations for the subsequent establishment of rule by emperors. They helped Augustus to dismantle the intuitions of the republic and establish his absolute personal rule after he won the civil wars which followed Caesar's death. Augustus retained these reforms because they concentrated power in the hands of one man.

Caesar took on the powers of the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians), which allowed him to control the plebeian tribunes and the Plebeian Council and to assume the tribunician power veto the senate. He also took the title of "Prefect of the Morals" which was a new office which replaced that of the censors. This gave him the same powers and those of the censors, but exempted him from the checks the censors had been subjected to. These powers included the enrolling of the senators, the oversight of public morals, carrying out the census and commissioning public works). Caesar used thrse powers to to increase the seats of the senate from 600 an==to 900 and to fill them with his supporters; to carry out a census himself and to commission public works himself. Augustus also took the tribunician powers and made himself prefect of the Morals. He brought the number of seats in the senate to 600.Caesar also ended the privilege of the senate to appoint the governors of the provinces (conquered territories) and appointed them and the other officials of the provinces himself. In 45 B.C. when he was preparing for a war against the Persians, he passed a law which allowed him to appoint all the magistrates (officers of state) for 43 BC and the Consuls for 42 B.C. Such officers were mean to be elected annually - apart from the censors who were elected every 18 months. Under Augustus, the magistrates continued to be appointees of the ruler.

Caesar claimed that his family descended from the goddess Venus and created a cult of himself. Augustus, who was Caesar's adaptive son, retained this claim. Caesar was also the first leader who placed his image on Roman coins. The emperors followed this precedent. Julius Caesar issued large quantities of the aureus, a gold coin which had previously been minted infrequently (usually to make large payments from captured booty). This paved the way for the central role the aureus played in the currency system of the subsequent imperial period. He carried out a census and, based on the findings, reduced the number of people entitled to the grain dole from 320,000 to 150,000. Augustus retained this change. To alleviate the problems this measure would cause Caesar ordered large estates to hire at least 1/3 of their labour from free citizens instead of using slaves to give work to the landless poor.

Another important change introduced by Caesar was the reform of the Roman calendar. He switched from a lunar to a solar calendar. On the advice of the Alexandrian scholar Sosigenes, he added 10 days per year, bringing it in line with the solar cycle. He added 67 days to the year of the reform to align the calendar with the winter solstice. This has been called the Julian calendar. Apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in1582, it is the calendar we still use, which is now called the Gregorian calendar.

Other changes made by Caesar were the setting of maximum interest rate for loans to 12% to curtail usury and wrote off ¼ of all debts, a law which prohibited any citizens between the ages of 20 to 40 to leave Italy for more than 3 years, unless on military assignment. He ordered the reconstruction of Carthage and Corinth and the foundation of new Roman colonies around the empire. Nearly 80,000 poor people were given land this way.

Another change was Caesar's conquest of Gaul, which added to Rome an area twice the size of Italy.

Naumachiae.

no opne really knows for all we know he could of had a heartatack so i dont think it will be true if any one answered it

Brutus and Claudius and some of their friends think Caesar is getting too uppity so they assasinate him in the Capitol. Unfortunately they are chased out of town by the crowd and Caesar's pal Antony who, together with Caesar's nephew, track them down, defeat them in a battle and cause them to commit suicide. The end.

Because they where sick Romans, no other reason why then that.

Brutus and Cassius

A political caucas is basically a professional discussion prior to deciding on the outcome of the issue.

He is the first Emperor of Rome. He was the first leader of the Roman Empire. He was a mighty warrior and military leader as well as a very popular political figure. His nephew, Augustus became the famous Ceasar Augustus who ruled the empire the longest and prosided over Rome's years of peace - the Pax Romana.

Yes, two of the main languages to use derivatives of the name Caesar were the Russian Czar and the German Kaiser.

If the definition of a tragic hero is a character with a lot of lines who ends up dead at the end of the play, Brutus fits the bill. So for that matter does Cassius. It was not important for Shakespeare to have a tragic hero in every tragedy--that concept arose long after he stopped writing.

Portia swallowed fire and died. She was the wife of Marcus Brutus.

A serpent's egg is not dangerous; it's just an egg. But it could become dangerous if it hatched. Brutus's point is that like the serpent's egg Caesar was bound to hatch into something really dangerous and he would be easier to deal with while he was still in the egg stage.

Brutus was a noble man. His presence would make the foul deed of murdering Caesar seem less cruel for he like the richest alchemy possesses the power of turning felonies to great deeds. He was honoured by the general Romans who will blindly believe in the righteousness of the task once Brutus becomes a party to it.

Yes . Julius Caesar had several Italian women with whom he fathered children and Julia Scalcione matches the DNA of the Julii clan. She is indeed and now her children after her will inherit the talent, and psychic power of the Julii clan.

Gaius Julius Caesar, born on 13 July 100 BC in Rome, gained his position through the power he amassed because of his conquests. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman territory all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, with the first Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC. He is regarded as one of the greatest military strategists of all time, as well as a brilliant politician. As leader of the Roman world, Caesar implemented extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He overthrew the already faltering government of the weak Republic, and was proclaimed Dictator for life.

No, Julius Caesar lived in the Roman republic era. He was a great general for the Romans and eventually became dictator of Rome. The Senate appointed him to rule for ten years.

Shakespeare got much of his information from the writings of Plutarch. But remember, Shakespeare was not a historian, he was a playwright. He used artistic licence to change the characters and their motivations in order to write a good play.

Being in the Roman Empire would go different ways:

-Glorius

-Miserable

Glorius because you could be a noble warrior fighting for the greatest race the world has ever seen.

Miserable because you could be in the lower class having to beg and/or work for food. These people are most of the Roman population. You would be lucky to be born into the upper class.

The other conspirators felt they needed Brutus in on the conspiracy because they knew that Caesar trusted Brutus. Cassius made Brutus join the conspiracy so that the whole blame would not be on Cassius. Also, Brutus was of a high status in the Roman senate.

a man is a social being with God in his life, and soul and everything he has.
