Julius Caesar

Brutus however disagrees, arguing that Cicero "will never follow anything" (Line 150). Cassius agrees to leave Cicero out of their conspiracy... The Cicero issue settled, some very important decisions are made.

Julius Caesar was assassinated because of his accumulation of excessive power. He was killed by stabbing at a meeting of the senate.

Brutus was inflexibly idealistic, which caused him to make a number of practical mistakes (like not killing Antony when they had the chance).

Cleopatra would have turned 21 in 48 BC.

There was always a tax on the provincials of the empire. Augustus followed tradition and his agents collected taxes as they always had done.

The conspirators ask Caesar to free Publius Cimber because they all knew Caesar would say no, causing an argument thus leading them to surround Caesar and kill him. It was a way to get close to him.

Because he was red. and loved to rule :))

He was a man who read the entrails of sacrifices to tell fortune.

Marcus Brutus...was an idealist, supported one of Caesar's enemies at one time, feared Caesar's ambition, married to Portia.

Caius Cassius...thin, quick-tempered, held a grudge against Caesar, Brutus' brother-in-law.

The triumvirate members who fought against Brutus and the conspirators were Octavian and Marc Antony.

Hi, Charlemagne conquered people and then gave them a choice to either convert to christianity or be put to death.

Brutus and cassius give each other an everlasting farewell because if any of them die. It would be the last time they would see each other.

brutus showed him what for. boy howdy!

Julius Caesar helped Roman expansion by his military conquests in Gaul, Spain, and the mid-east.

Julius Caesar was officially the man in power in 48 BC after the battle of Pharsalus when he defeated Pompey.

Cassius

Caesar dismisses Calpurnia's concerns.

In Act I Scene I of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, a group of commoners are celebrating the victory of Caesar over Pompey's sons in the Battle of Munda. Pompey had been a great Roman general and Caesar's associate, but nevertheless Caesar had started a bloody civil war with him in 49 BC which lasted four years and was not ended until the Battle of Munda. The tribunes Flavius and Marullus chide the commoners for celebrating the defeat of a Roman, and a great Roman at that. "Knew you not Pompey?"

All of the people who bought one penny tickets to watch Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar at the Globe theatre stood up for the entire play.

Julius Caesar modernized the calendar. What is known as the Julian Calendar is still used in some instances today.

This is pure speculation of course. But suffice to say, Antony would have ruled supreme in Rome. He could`ve of course had himself declared dictator in perpetuity, but he wouldn`t have had the luxury of being named Caesar`s heir that Octavian did.

Having said that, if Octavian never existed, then Caesar`s son Caesarion or even Mark Antony himself may have been named as Caesar`s heir(s).

Without Augustus, there would`ve been no stability, of the kind that led to the beginning of the Imperial system.

The Empire, such as it was, would`ve fallen apart much earlier than the 5th century AD. It`s likely there wouldn`t have been an invasion of Britain either.

Brutus!

Christianity for one.

up until 200AD the Romans held the cult of the divine Caesar (Divus Iulius) as their state religion.. they worshipped Caesar Clementia (clemency) the man who forgave his enemies but was betrayed by someone close to him and publicly executed. (sound familliar?)

after a few tweaks it became Christianity and a lot of sectarian strife around the Empire was cooled.

The first paved roads in France. (roman roads fostered trade all across Europe for centuries and were only surpassed in the 19th century with the rail system)

the 365 day year.

He was responsible for the final subversion of the Roman Republic (SPQR)

and studying this event modern democracy's adopted a supreme court and other systems to check ambitions in the future.

He was one of history's first economic reformers. (He put restrictions on slave ownership to alleviate unemployment)

one of the first proponents of psycological warfare, he went to great lengths to demoralise Pompey's legions before they engaged at Pharsalus

one of the first proponents of Public Relations, his communications from Gaul were celebrated all across Rome.

his works are the main primary source used to teach Latin. (commentarii de bello gallicio)

basically Julius Caesar was a living God.

Gaius. Julius. Caesar.

Cassius is going to forge letters from the citizens and put them in places that brutus will find them because when brutus reads them he will side with Cassius because of his loyalty to the citizens.
