Julius Caesar

cicero

Julius Ceasar is famous for his conquest of Rome and becoming the first Dictator for life of the Roman Republic. He however was not the emporer. He was a powerful Roman general. The day of his assassination became famous as the "Ides of march". His most famous quote is "Veni, vidi, vici" translated into English as "I came, I saw, I conquered".

The role that the military played in Caesar's rise to power was making him a stronger leader and making him a key figure in Roman politics.

Augustus Caesar in Rome

Casesar erected a statue of Cleopatra in Rome in the temple he built called the temple of Venus Genetrix. This was to celebrate his Egyptian victory and Cleopatra was the symbol of Egypt at the time.

Stand in front of a Calphurnia to cure her inability to have children.

Cassius proposes the murder of Anthony, and brutus opposes it because he doesnt want it all to become too bloody. also, he doesnt want people to believe that they were killed out of anger and envy.

they left him there for hours until three common salves put his corpse on a litter and carried him to his home.

The quote, from Julius Caesar, Act 1, scene 2, is by Cassius:

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,

But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Cassius here is speaking about the stars as controllers of destiny, and expressing the idea that men themselves are responsible for their actions, not some preordained fate.

Cassius, a nobleman, is speaking with his friend, Brutus, and trying to persuade him that, in the best interests of the republic, Julius Caesar must be stopped from becoming monarch of Rome. Brutus is aware of Caesar's intentions, but is torn between his friendship with Caesar and his duty to Rome. Eventually Cassius convinces Brutus to join him and the senators in assassinating Caesar.

Julius Caesar ruled the Roman Empire. The capital of the Roman Empire was Rome, which was located in the region called Italia. Italia later became modern Italy.

Many reasons. Mostly because he was jealous and was afraid that he was finishing the Republic. Also he didn't like Julius much, so imagine how he felt when Agustus took over!

Antony's touch can make Calphurnia fertile.

They are fickle. When Brutus speaks, they go along with Brutus; when Antony speaks, they go along with him. And since Antony is arousing them to feelings of violence and hatred, he is much more successful than Brutus, since crowds are much more easily incited to violence and hatred than to reasonableness. Current events show us that this has not changed one iota since then.

Julius Caesar seemed to have a "hit 'em hard and fast" philosophy about war. He was known for his fast marches enabling him to surprise the enemy. He also had the Roman attitude of winning at all costs. The siege of Alesia with its still traceable trenches is a prime example of this.

Spurrina is the old soothsayer who first warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March." As Caesar enters the Senate building on that fateful morning he passes Spurrina on the road and cheerfully calls out that the Ides had arrived and he was still alive, to which Spurrina replied" "Yes, the Ides have come, but not yet passed."

Historically, it is said that Julius Caesar made no sound while his peers murdered him except for a grunt at the first stab. He died silently, and with betrayed dignity. However, in Shakespeare's play, it is said that Julius Caesar says, "Et tu, Brute?" ("And you, Brutus?") right before he falls to the ground dead. Brutus was someone Julius Caesar considered a friend, and this quote channels the emotion that he must have felt in his last moments. However, this is merely Shakespeare's interpretation.

In Roman-British Celtic mythology,Brutus is said to have been the founder of the British people.The great grandson of the Trojan Aeneas, he is supposed to have landed at Totnes in Devon and to have subjugated the giants who then inhabited the country.

It means that when Tyrants are ruling, and have control over people or resources, anarchy and rebellion are sure to follow in the wake of Tyranny.

No, Marc Antony was a staunch supporter of Julius Caesar, his second in command at times, and a distant relative. He knew nothing of the plot against Caesar and was the one man that the conspirators feared.

Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar refused the crown of a king three times, but each time he refused it more reluctantly, which convinces Brutus that Caesar has been tempted by the thought of absolute power.

Cassius was the driving force behind the whole group. He was afraid of Caesar gaining too much power and weakening his own political and economic position. Basically, he was greedy, and wanted to keep or increase his own power and wealth.

Unfortunately, Brutus was secondary and crucial to the conspiracy. Being such a close friend to Caesar, and then agreeing to the ultimate betrayal of his murder, he gave credence to the others to follow suit. His motive was to protect Rome from being destroyed by the "tyrannical ruler" Caesar was becoming, as projected by Cassius into Brutus' mind/thinking.
