'''Text of the speech:
''' '''"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Caesar ... The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it ...
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ...
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man….
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me."
''' Notes: Brutus has just explained why he killed Caesar: according to Brutus, Caesar's was ambitious and wanted to become a ruler and tyrant over the free people of Rome, and killing him was the only way to keep Rome a republic.
Mark Anthony says (several times) that Brutus is an honorable man, and that he himself (Mark Anthony) has not come to praise Caesar, but in fact he argues that Caesar wasn't ambitious (a negative word in Shakespeare's time), but that he was sympathetic to regular people, that he raised money for the public good, and that he refused a crown when it was offered to him. Mark Anthony finally discredits Brutus's careful reasoning by saying that "men have lost their reason," while himself appealing to the crowd's emotions throughout the speech, and particularly in the conclusion, when he alludes to his own pain and pauses, apparently to weep for Caesar (as the members of the crowd say in the lines following the speech).

What effect did Julius Caesar have on the modern calendar?
Before Julius Caesar, the calender we use today was not in existence.
Ancient Rome used what was called the 'lunisolar calender' to keep time. This system is based on the cycle of the moon and certain Roman holidays, as a result some years had 11 months and others 13.
Julius Caesar wanted a more consistent calender. for this he turned to a man named Sosigenes, a astronomer from Alexandria, Greece. Sosigenes introduced Caesar to the fact that the earth was a sphere (not flat) with a elliptical orbit around the sun. Sosigenes also introduced Caesar to the important dates of the summer and winter solstice's, and the autumnal and vernal equinox. using these dates as reference points, Julius Caesar introduced the calender we have today, with a 365 days, a leap year every 4 years and 5 alternating months with 31 days instead of 30.
And in honor of this, the month of July bores his name.
Why didn't Caesar deserve to die?
You see, Julius (more better referred to as 'Gaius Julius Caesar') was seen as a person who would destroy the Roman republic. He had total and utter control of Rome and all her holdings, He commanded forces from Spain to Egypt without having to discuss anything with any other commanding officers (so he could take his forces where ever he pleased), and he was the undeniable dictator of Rome. With that being said, the Senators (conspirators) took it upon themselves to end this tyrannical reign and restore the Republic to its former glory! But really, "former glory"? It wasn't all that "Glorious".
I mean, people loved Julius! The especially loved him for his reforms! He provided land pensions for his soldiers, restructured the debts of a huge percentage of Rome debters, even gave them the Julian calender (which is the calender we still use today)! But no, After his death, a second Triumberant formed from Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus. Which then came forth another Civil War, and having it end with Octavian, who would change his name to Caesar Augustus, become the leader and soon the first Emperor of the Roman Empire which lasted for a long time after.
So, NO to him dying because it wasn't necessary and it could changed how Rome would have been. But sadly YESbecause of how he got up to his mighty position and if he didn't die, who knows if there might have been an empire at all?

How does monarchy relate to Julius Caesar?
No, actually though he is looked at as an emperor his actual position in government was "dictator for life" though the Roman government could only elect a dictator to serve for up to 6 months (the position was made by Julius himself). Before Caesar was dictator he was a general and he was finishing his campaign in Gaul when he received orders to return to Rome. The reason for which being that he was being accused of having plans to overthrow the government. All Roman generals were required to leave their Legions in the province in which they served. But because of loyal friends and supporters in Rome Caesar came to know about the accusation and brought his legions with him. Crossing into the Italian peninsula with his army was of course an act of war so he then had to defeat the general who had actually accused him of plotting to attack Rome. Upon the defeat of Rome Caesar took office and declared himself "dictator for life".
What year did Julius become a dictator?
The office of dictator in ancient Rome was usually only for six months. However if the problem was not solved in that time the senate could renew it for another six months and keep on renewing it until the crisis was resolved. In the case of Julius Caesar though, the senate made him dictator and renewed the office and eventually named him a perpetual dictator or a dictator for life.
For the first 200 years after him, the rulers of Rome called themselves Princeps (First Citizan). aware that any suggestion of kingship would bring out the knives as it had with Julius Caesar.
The word Emperor did not exist - there was Imperator (from which we later derived the word Emperor) but that was then a title of acclaim which soldiers on a winning battlefield shouted at their successful general.
The title Caesar was commonly adopted by successive rulers, whatever else they titled themselves, and carried through to modern times - in Germany the king was called Kaiser, which was their pronunciation of Caesar, and in Russia, the Czar was their version of Caesar. Everyone of note wanted to be Caesar, so highly was he regarded.
What is Julius Caesar general legacy for rome?
The most enduring legacy of Julius Caesar is the reform of the calendar. Caesar switched form a lunar to a solar calendar. Apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in the 15th century, it is the calendar we still use.
Julius Caesar introduced a land reform which gave land to the poor. He scrapped the Roman tax collectors in the provinces who were corrupt and practiced 'tax farming' (the use of their taxation role to raise fund in excess to line their pockets) and resumed the old system of allowing the cities in the provinces to raise the taxes themselves. Caesar also laid the foundations for the creation of a much central government for the empire
