Why did Julius Caesar separate form his wives?
Caesar divorced only one of his three wives. He was with his first wife, Cornelia Cinnilla Miror, until she died in 69 BC. Caesar divorced his second wife, Pompeia, for questions of reputation. In 62 BC she hosted the festival of the Bona Dea ("good goddess"), which was reserved for women at her house. Publius Clodius Pulcher, a young patrician, gained admittance by disguising as a woman. It was alleged that his aim was to seduce Pompeia. Caesar said "my wife ought not even to be under suspicion" and divorced her. In 59 BC Caesar married Calpurnia Pisonis and did not separate.
The germanic peoples who conquered Gaul?
The Vandals, Sueves and Alans crossed the frozen river Rhine in 406 and invaded Gaul. The Alans were not Germanic. They were Iranian speakers.
The situation with the Burgundians is less clear. It seems likely that some of them were part of the invasion of 406. However, the Burgundian king Gundahar settled his people across the Rhine in 411/12 after he had Jovinus, proclaimed as a puppet emperor in Gaul. They were granted land in the Worms, Spyers-Strasbourg area as allies.
The Alemanni took advantage of the invasions to take over Switzerland and Alsace (in north-eastern France).

How did agustus become emporor?
Emperor is a modern word. He became First Citizen after defeating Mark Antony in the Civil War. He progressively took on background powers to control the aristocracy trying to assume powers which had fed the civil war. He assumed the powers of a tribune of the plebs in Rome; pro-consul outside the city; and control of the border provinces which had the legions. The rest he left with the Senate.
He would not have accepted any title associated with kingship as that is what brought the knives out against his adoptive father Julius Caesar.
What are some bad things Julius Caesar do?
Caesar really didnt do anything that can be considered a crime or anything but his words alone should be like daggers to the people of Rome but for some reason they are just so ignorant of this (since he appears as a decent and caring ruler). If you read this far then you will know that before Caesar's murder he was appealed upon by the conspirators (ie: Brutus, Cassius, Mettulus and all the other men who were to kill him) and they begged him like literally getting on their knees but this Caesar claims he is unmovable. He says he is as unconstant as the North Star (which never moves) and when the conspirators persist he asks them if they are trying to lift Olympus (home of the Greek Gods) so this kind of strikes a question in your head. Is he considering himself a god? One may say this because he continues as to say that their begging may move or influence regular men, men who are of flesh and blood!!!! Is he not of flesh and blood?? How do the people still support him?? This is the part where we see Shakespeare accumulating sympathy for the conspirators because you kind of feel bad for them since all they are doing is begging to let Mettelus' brother out of jail. But we see Caesar's stubborn character and his cocky perception of himself and how conceited he really is...which just gave them more reason to kill Caesar.
Julius Caesar was man and therefore not God. However this view is only from our perspective, some 2000 years after Caesar's death. In his own time Julius Caesar was considered a god with temples and shrines dedicated to him. So in his own time he was a god, but in our time he was a man.
