The ides of March was called the ides of March because that was what it was. The ancient Roman calendar did not follow the same dating system as our present day calendar. The months were divided into three lunar sections which were the Kalends, Nones and Ides. Every month had all three divisions. In the case of the ides, it could fall on either the 13th or the 15th of the month. In March the ides were on the 15th.

First, it was Pompey who fought Cesar in the civil war, then it was Cato and finally Gaius Pompey, the son of Pompey the Great.

for all of those peoples deaths..

Rome formed the Republic to end the reign of a tyrannical king; so the idea of kingship was extremely unpopular in Rome. By refusing the crown, Caesar hope to silence his critics who claimed that he was attempting to become king.

Brutus and Cassius were leaders of a conspiracy and on March 15th (Ides of March) the conspirators were waiting for him at the theater of Pompey. Ceaser was stabbed several times, his final words were "Et tu, Brute!" which translates to "And you, too, Brutus?"

Julius Caesar lived in the years BC. There were no Christians during his time so he could not possibly have hated them.

Julius Caesar only "employed" the poor by recruiting them into his army. He had no need for their services as he had plenty of slaves to take care of any grunt work that needed doing on his estates and personal slaves to take care of his physical needs.

Julius Caesar did not need much help to gain power. He did this pretty much on his own when he marched on Rome with his army, starting a civil war and seizing power militarily. He had a battle veteran legion which became battle hardened during his Gallic War. Pompey, the general of the opponents of Caesar, fled to Greece to raise troops in the Roman provinces in the east. Caesar then seized Rome.

The two most important supporters of Caesar were Marc Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus.

Mark Antony served as a military commander during Caesar's Gallic War until 50 B.C. when he went to Rome to try to mediate the conflict between Caesar and Pompey, the leader of Caesar's opponents. He was elected plebeian tribune and summoned the senate to negotiate a compromise, which Pompey was willing to accept. However, this was by Lentulus and Cato who were two hardeners of the opponents of Caesar. They forcibly expelled Antony from the senate and he fled Rome and returned to Caesar's camp in northern Italy. The senate reconvened and order Caesar to relinquish his military command, disband his armies and return to Rome to face a trial. Caesar marched on Rome with one of his legions and started the civil war which put him in power. Antony did not always prove to be a good political asset for Caesar. During the civil war Antony was appointed governor of Italy while Caesar pursued Pompey in Greece. However, Antony mishandled a political issue and dealt with it with military force. Caesar had to return to Italy to resolve the situation and removed Antony from political office and took him with him in his civil war campaigns.

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was a more shrewd politician. Lepidus took charge of Rome while Caesar was fighting his enemy Pompey in Greece. He secured Caesar's appointment as dictator, which he used to preside over his own election as consul. He then became the governor of "Nearer Spain." He suppressed a rebellion there though a mixture of diplomacy and military action. Caesar made him master of the horse when he was appointed dictator the second and third time. This was the second highest position in Rome when a dictator was in charge.

60 senators assassinated Julius Caesar and stabbed him 23 times in the back all because he didn't include them in his decisions that he made and the people in the senate who stabbed him were lead by Caesars best friend called Brutus.

In Act I Scene ii of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, a soothsayer warns Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March" Caesar decides to ignore him. He says "He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass"

The Roman empire covered Western Europe south of the river Rhine and southeastern Europe up to Romania, stretching from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. It also included Britain. The Roman Empire also covered part of Asia (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and the northern part of the Read Sea Coast of Saudi Arabia) and north Africa along the Mediterranean coast.

We don't know for certain. For years historians have taken the ancient writers at their word and said that Caesar had epilepsy. However, this is questioned more and more today and a popular theory is that he had hypoglycemia or low blood sugar whose symptoms mimic those of epilepsy. There is another theory that Caesar suffered from a brain tumor.

No, Julius Caesar was never an emperor. He was a dictator, with all the powers of an emperor, but he ruled during the republican form of government, and received his office under the republican system. The men who historians refer to as emperors ruled under the principate form of government which was different from the republic.

Augustus turned himself into an absolute ruler while pretending that he was restoring the republic and that he respected its constitution. He learned from Julius Caesar's mistake. Caesar wanted to restore the central government's control over the provinces, which had become the personal fiefs of their governors, and the efficiency of the state by concentrating power in his hands. However, he had given the impression that he wanted to become a king, which outraged conservative republicans and was seen as a threat to the republic. As a result, a group of conservative senators assassinated him. Augustus had the same agenda as Caesar, but had learnt that he needed to try not to antagonise the conservatives and the senators.

In the First Settlement Augustus reached with the senate (27 BC) the senate gave him control of the border provinces of the empire (imperial provinces) with a ten year "pacification" mandate, while the senate retained governance of the core provinces (proconsular or senatorial provinces). This gave the idea that the senate and the traditions of the republic had been respected by allowing the senators in remain in charge of the core provinces. However, it institutionalised Augustus's military power. The border provinces had most of the legions, giving Augustus control of 20 legions, while the senate controlled only five. Moreover, it sanctioned Augustus's extra-constitutional power. Constitutionally, only senators could govern the provinces, but the senate agreed to give Augustus the border provinces because he controlled the army. He was also made permanent consul (head of state), even though the term of office of consuls was meant to be one year and consuls were meant to be elected. As such, he also had power over the governors appointed by the senate.

Augustus also used other tactics to maintain his pretence that he was restoring and preserving the republic. He retained the popular assembly and its right to vote on bills and to elect the officers of state. However, he became the real legislator and only made token submissions of bills for the assembly to vote on. He retained the officers of state of the republic and their election by the assembly. However, this was just a formality because he created his own administration and the state was run by officials appointed by him. He revived archaic religious cults which had been forgotten to portray himself as a champion of tradition. However, he called himself son of the divine Caesar and created a religious cult centred on his person like Caesar had done. He chose the title of Princeps, which roughly means first man and first among equals. He derived this title from that of the Princeps Senatus who was the eldest senator and the first member of the senate by precedence and could speak first, but was a first among equals. Augustus pretended that he was a first among equals and that he ruled in conjunction with the senate while acting as an absolute ruler and turning the senate into an instrument for his power. He took up some precedents set by Caesar. He had the senate bestowing titles on him: Princeps and Augustus (the illustrious one) which was a religious rather that a political title.

The reasons for Caesar's death

Caesar is warned about an untoward happening by a Soothsayer who bids him beware of The Ides of March (March 15).

Caesar says that he is a fool and make him go away at once. Then on the ides of march, he is again warned by Artemidorus and Caesar says that the petition of his shall not be attended to by Caesar as one which considers himself shall be dealt with at last.

No one knows for certain when Cleopatra first met Antony, but there are two speculative times that they could have met. The first is when Cleopatra's father was returned to the throne. Antony was the commander of the cavalry that brought Auletes back to Alexandria. It' possible that Cleo was presented to him along with her brothers and sisters during the celebrations. Another time that they could have met was when Cleo was in Rome. Antony, as a friend of Caesar and Master of the Horse, would surely have attended a reception or two given by Cleopatra. However it is obvious that she did not actually know Antony as before the big seductive meeting in Tarsus, she had to be briefed by Delius as to Antony's character.

because he became a dictator and they know everything they should know. he was also counted as the head of the army.

I must assume that when you use 'Caesar' in you're question you are referring to Gaius Julius Caesar. If this is the case, his father was also called Gaius Julius Caesar, he was a senator and served as pro-consul of Asia in the early 1st century BC.

Julius Caesar had two sisters. Both were called Julia, which was a common name.

Yes. Julius Caesar's daughter was Julia Caesaris, meaning "Julia, the daughter of Caesar." She was born in 83 or 82 BCE and died in premature childbirth in 54 BCE, while Julius Caesar was campaigning in Brittain.

At first hours after the death everybody was in panic.Killers were struck by the fact they won't be praised as liberators since Caesar was so loved and respected by the people.In the days following immediate death entire city fell into silence and confussion,streets were empty.The most confused were the assassins because they never really thought about what would happen after the murder.If they declared Caesar a tyrannt and his murder tyrranicide it would mean that all his actions during dictatorship were null and void,his property would be confiscated and his heir Octavius thus stripped from property.However if his actions were illegal then it would also mean they would be strriped of all their functions,magistratures and political positions and thus lose pollitical immunity and be tried for common murder since Caesar was the man who has put them on their positions in the first place.Because of this conspirators struck a deal with Marc Antony for mutual amnesty,he accepted because if he didn't not he would likely also be kiled.It was agreed that Caesar would be farewelled to the afterlife by all of them united on a great public funeral.On the day of the funeral entire Rome went out on the streets to see the procession and mourn their bellowed leader.Veterans,housewifes,foreigners,all wept when they saw Caesar's corps.Great pyre was set up in the very center of Rome with thousands of citizens moarning in hysteria.Then it was duty for Marc Antony to give out a funeral speech.He started out in a calm tone but as he spoke on his emotions creeped out.He passionately named the titles of the belowed leader,called him father of the fatherland,reminded everyone of all the things he did for all of them(one really needs to understand how much Caesar really did for ordinary people to feel for their moarning).And then in ironic tone glaring at conspirators who were all attending the funeral as agreed in front ranks,he reminded everyone of how Caesar was always mercifull to his enemies,how he spared all supporters of Pompey forgiving them and rising them to high positions(Brutus,a prime example)"Brutus says he was a tyrrant though,and you know Brutus is an honorable man"The mob then started to get angry realizing that the very people responcible for the killing were in the procession.They were astonished by the fact that few snobby aristocrats could ruin everything they had worked for and kill the leader they loved...All their anger started to pyle up,especially among veterans.At the climax as the fire started engufling the pyre,Antony rose up Caesar's bloodied toga and threw it into the crowd,enraged people now saw all the wounds of Caesar and that was it...rioting started.As the pyre burned everybody pushed through trying to bring their offerings,throwing furniture,weapons,jewelry into the fire...Conspirators had to flee for their lives.Their property was vandalised and burned throughout the streets,some were killed.People wanted vengeance and punishment.Rioting then turned into utter chaos,plunder and destruction combined with grieving hysteria...people crying gathered arround the ashes for days.Virtually entire population was touched by this event ,all social statuses,all professions...Conspirators had to flee the city.CIVIL WARS FOLLOWED.
