Julius Caesar

He asks permission to speak in the funeral of Julius Caesar.

Briefly, Marc Antony was a man with a muscular, rather hefty body structure. He had an aquiline nose and some ancient historians say he had a cleft chin. He also had a good head of thick curls. You can type Marc Antony in your browser and you will find several sites with pictures of him, although some of the pictures are suspect.

Cassius tells Brutus about the story about Caesar swimming the Tiber River because he wants to make Brutus understand that Caesar had flaws too, and he was just another simple human in the city of Rome. There was nothing special about him and people should stop looking at him as a god.

Burning men walking and an owl was hooting at the market place at midday.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire it fell into disuse and disrepair, though still standing. During the Middle Ages it was used as housing and for churches. During the Renaissance it was pillaged by the good citizens of Rome who stripped it to use the marble on their own homes.

The upper part of the southern side of the Colosseum collapsed in an earthquake in 1349 because the soil under that side is less stable.

No. In the ancient world an operation that we call a caesarion section was a death sentence to the mother. Cleo obviously survived Caesarion's birth to give birth to three other children so she could not have had a caesarion section or anything like it.

Julius Caesar was a good fighter in his wars because he was a good strategist and used rapid troop movements as one of his tactics. He was also a man of personal courage and when he saw that his troops were falling back, he would not hesitate to admonish them and personally lead them into battle on foot. This was how he gained the loyalty of most of his troops. As most military leaders don't personally fight on the field, Caesar did due to his huge amount of experience in combat from a mere officer to Dictator for life.

The Vicar acts as God's vassal on Earth. Usually the Vicar will take care of the Eulogy (memorial speech) as well as helping to comfort those who are in attendance. The actual speech will usually vary from funeral to funeral as the Vicar sees what words may be the most helpful. Many also consider the Apostolic Blessing to be appropriate when one passes. It says

"Ego facultate mihi ab Apostolic Sede tributa, indulgatiam plenarium et remissionem omnium peccatorum tibi concedo et benedico te. In nomine Patris, et Filli, y et Spiritu Sancti. Amen"

Which translates,

"By the faculty which the Apostolic See has given me, I grant you a plenary indulgence for the remission of all your sins, and bless you. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

If an authentic signature of Julius Caesar were found today it would be priceless. Museums , private collectors, schools, historians would all go bananas trying to outbid each other for possession. It would either be the property of whatever country it was found in or of the university that sponsored the research.( I don't know how they determine ownership of an artifact.) But at any rate, if the autograph were up for sale, the bidding would go sky high.

Marc Antony, at the time of his involvement with Cleopatra, was a Roman triumvir. He had supreme Roman authority in the East. He came east to settle border disputes and to stabilize the area for Rome. He also planned to carry out Julius Caesar's war against the Parthians. He kept this authority all through his affair with Cleopatra which is why old Cleo snuggled up to him.

Had he given in to Cassius's much more realpolitik suggestions, they would have bumped off Antony at the same time as Caesar and have consolidated their positions in Rome. But if Brutus had been that kind of a guy, Cassius would not have recruited him as an ally in the first place.

If idealism is a "tragic flaw" in Brutus, then isn't it also a "tragic flaw" in Jesus? If he had only co-operated with the Sanhedrin and the Romans he wouldn't have been crucified, right? But I think Jesus would have said that his ideals were more important than not getting killed, and I think Brutus (at least in the way Shakespeare portrayed him) would have said the same.

Curiously, Dante portrays Brutus as a villain because he betrayed his friend and benefactor. Would treachery make more sense as a tragic flaw?

That caesar didnt deserve to be murdered

Aristotle died before the historical Julius Caesar was born, and over a millennium before Shakespeare wrote his play. In fact, in his Poetics, Aristotle was thinking exclusively of the play he had seen: Sophocles's Oedipus Rex. Of course there is no character in Julius Caesar who kills his father and marries his mother, so Aristotle's remarks are rather beside the point.

In short, the notions of the "Aristotelian Unities" or the "tragic hero" were constructed many hundreds of years after Aristotle and were applied to drama from totally different traditions, such as English Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. Most of the writers of Shakespeare's time, including Shakespeare, could not possibly care less about Aristotle.

“To show that audience that Brutus is not trustworthy “

all answers are correct

that he considered Caesar a friend

ambition

Julius Caesar began his conquest of Gaul in 58 BC. He had just about finished up in 52 BC with the victory at Alesia.

In the Suetonius where we get the story from I don't believe it says specifically, but I think it implies that it was fairly near the time of his speech that ended in his murder (as in a few days before).

np

1. Antony will speak only after the speech of Brutus completes.

2. He will speak from the same pulpit from where Brutus speaks.

3. He will speak good and praise Caesar but he will not blame the conspirators for the death of Caesar.

and Antony agrees these conditions imposed on him.

My English teacher said he was stabbed 20 times.
