What are some reforms of Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar never really had a chance to carry out his domestic reforms. He seemed to be too busy with foreign affairs.

A dominating nation with extensive territories and a powerful ruler such as Rome's is known as an?
It needs a proper assessment of the nature of the 'empire'. While domination is necessary to define n empire, its motivation and effects are important. The ancient empires were not established to simply create domination, they were designed to promote stability and prosperity. The Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian and Roman Empires all met these criteria. The Romans established an empire long before they had emperors - the Roman Republic established an empire across Europe a century before the arrival of Augustus, and even Augustus and his successors didn't call themselves emperors for 200 years - they were Princeps = First Citizen. So it needs care in how the term is used both to describe the political control and the structure of geographic control.

What happened at Caesarea Philippi?
Mark's Gospel consists of a parallel structure, which is a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another set of events that parallels the first.
The opening set begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus, followed by the baptism and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with Jesus predicting his death. The contrasting structure begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with the crucifixion, followed by the young man explaining the departure of Jesus. Mark contrasted John's announcement of the coming of Jesus with the young man's explanation of the departure of Jesus. The Gospel contrasts the baptism and the voice from heaven with the Transfiguration and the voice from heaven. And it uses the prediction by Jesus of his death, after they travelled into the towns of Caesarea Philippi (Mark 8:27) at the end of the first set , to contrast with the actual death in the second set.
What was the first empire to conquer and rule gaul?
The Roman Empire, if you mean "empire" but if you mean "Emperor" it was Caesar who conquered it and became emperor not long thereafter.
A triumvirate was a committee composed by three men which was sometimes appointed during the Roman Republic to carry out specific tasks. It is also a name given to two three-man alliances which were formed in the Late Roman Republic. The word comes from the Latin words for three and for men.
The First Triumvirate was between Gaius Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great). It lasted from 60 BC until the death of Crassus in 53 BC.
The Second Triumvirate was between Octavian (later known as Augustus), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, and Marc Antony. In 43 BC these three men were given a five year mandate to rule Rome with extraordinary powers. This mandate was then renewed for another five years.
Why people killed Julius caecar?
The official reason was that the senators who assassinated Caesar, wanted to restore the Republic and democracy. There were suspicions, probably justified, that Caesar was trying to become a king. This was anathema to the Republican culture. The republic was established in 509 BC with the overthrow of the last king of Rome who was a tyrant. The Romans decided to do away with the monarchy so as not to leave power in the hand of a sole man, thus preventing the return of tyranny. They also swore that they would not allow anyone to become a king ever again. Trying to become a king had been the worst allegation against anyone. In the 5th century AD a man was killed because he was accused of trying to become a king and in the 4th century BC another man was sentenced to death for the same reason.
If Julius Caesar was aiming at becoming a king (there were strong indications which he may well have being trying to do this) he might have succeeded because of his enormous popularity. To traditional republicans this would have meant the end of the Republic, which was unacceptable to them.
What are the Ides of a month and what do they mean?
The Ides of March - or March 15th - is known throughout history for being an ill-fated day. Julius Caesar was assassinated on this date in 44 B.C. Historians have noted the likeliness that a soothsayer named Spurinna warned Caesar that danger would occur by the Ides of March.
Of course, another famous reference to this date is when William Shakespeare included the phrase "Beware the ides of March" in his play Julius Caesar.
Each Roman Lunar Calendar month had three fixed named days, but was otherwise lacking a Julian numbering system as we're familiar with today.
# Kalends: #* Always the first day of the month. # Nones #* Always nine days before the Ides #* Long months (March, May, July and October) fell on seventh day of the month #* Other months, fell on fifth day of month # Ides: ## Always the day of the full moon in the lunar month. ## Long months (March, May, July and October) fell on 15th day of the month (remember the Ides of March) ## Other months, fell on 13th day of month The ides were the 15th days of long months (including Martius, or March) in the ancient Roman lunar calendar; they were the 13th in other months. The word ides comes from the Latin word idus, which is possibly derived from an Etruscan word meaning "to divide." The ides were originally meant to mark the full Moon (the "halfway point" of a lunar month), but because the Roman calendar months and actual lunar months were of different lengths, they quickly got out of step. The ancient Romans considered the day after the kalends (first of the month), nones (ninth day before the ides, inclusive), or ides of any month as unfavorable. These were called dies atri.
Dies atri - or "black days" - weren't marked on the Roman calendar because they always occurred the day after the Kalends, Nones and Ides of each month. As part of these days, nothing constituted as 'new' could be done; state cult festivals were not even held on these dates.
Romans believed that the Kalends, Nones and Ides of each month (and the fourth day of each month) were unlucky days, similar to how we perceive Friday the Thirteenth in our day. It's not that there were any legal or religious prohibitions against activities on these simply unlucky days, and a nundina could have fallen on Nones quite easily.
Also, Romans thought the month of May and the first half of June were terribly unlucky months to get married in.

Why did Brutus and the other conspirators murder Caesar?
You certainly do not do someone a favour if you kill him. Brutus could not possibly have seen it this way. He saw the conspiracy and Caesar's death as necessary to save the Roman Republic from what he thought were Caesar's aim of becoming a tyrant. He thought he was doing a favour to Rome and its citizens, not to Caesar.

What was the metal helmet called worn by Romans?

What were some of Julius Caesar's disappointments?
Julius caesar's biggest mistake was to give the impression that he wanted to become a king. this is what led to his assassination.
The significance of this was that Caesar becoming king would have meant the end of the Roman Republic. A republic is a political system which does not have a king. The Roman Republic had been established centuries earlier following a rebellion against the last king of Rome, who was a tyrant. The Romans decided to establish a republic headed by two annually elected consuls to prevent the return of tyranny. They also swore not to let anyone try to become a king ever again. During the Early Republic one man was executed and another one was forced to commit suicide because of accusations of trying to become a king. Many Romans thought that if Caesar became a king he would become a tyrant.
