Julius Caesar

It goes without saying that Caesar was able to maintain power as a dictator who simply would not give up the position. However before he won the civil war and was a triumvir, he maintained his status by keeping himself in the public eye. He did this by writing his books on the war in Gaul. He wrote them to keep the public aware of him and did this in a manipulative manner. First of all he wrote in simple, clear Latin so everyone could read his stories. Secondly, he sent them to Rome to b published in chapters or "books", never all at once. In this manner everyone was aware of Caesar and his exploits for the entire Gaulic campaign. When he returned to Italy and fought the civil war, and won, the power was his for the taking.

Augustus brought the Pax Romana and all its benefits. Caligula did not bring any asset to the empire during his reign, but brought a sinister precedent by his death. He was the first emperor to be assassinated by the Praetorian Guard, thus giving the Guard a dangerous realization of its power. Nero was extremely popular with the common people. He, not only made technological advances but was the first emperor to use the dome in a building.

In his speech at Caesar's funeral, Antony aims to sway public opinion against the conspirators who assassinated Caesar. By appealing to the emotions of the crowd and highlighting Caesar's accomplishments and his benevolence towards the people, Antony seeks to incite them to revolt. His ultimate goal is to undermine Brutus and the other conspirators' justification for the murder and to position himself as a leader rallying the populace against them. Through his powerful rhetoric, Antony also aims to avenge Caesar’s death and restore his legacy.

To protect Brutus.

If the soldiers killed him, Brutus would be safe.

Caesar actually was unable to make any actual social changes, but he did establish social benefits. The calendar was reformed so the year was up to date and in order. The Romans were celebrating their festivals and rites at the proper time. He enlarged the Circus Maximus to hold 50,000 people. His forum gave the businessmen more room to expand their trades. He extended Roman citizenship to entire towns. (Also giving himself a political base of clients). He had a program of land reform for the future, but he was killed before it could be finalized.

One of the senators closest to Julius Caesar, Brutus is highly principled and committed to what is best for Rome. When Caesar returns to the city after a successful military campaign, the citizens of Rome seem ready to offer him the position of emperor. Brutus wants to see Rome remain a republic and does not support the idea that Caesar should be named emperor. When Cassius asks Brutus to join the plot to assassinate Caesar, Brutus weighs his friendship with the leader against what he believes to be best for Rome. This is the basis of Brutus's internal conflict. Ultimately, Brutus decides that the needs of the republic supersede those of Caesar, and he takes part in the assassination of Caesar on the steps outside the Roman Senate.

He has a lean and hungry look and thinks too much. He is dangerous. He is jealous of Caesar, a sly manipulator of Brutus, a political realist and a competent soldier.

Caesar commanded 45,000 troops at Alesia.

He was a fan of Hall and Oates

There were many famous leaders besides Caesar. Octavian or Augustus for one. Then there was Scipio, Sulla, Cicero (yes, Cicero. He was counsul during the Cataline conspiracy) Lucius Brutus, Vespasian, Trajan, the list could go on and on.

When Caesar ignored the senate's order to disband his army and crossed the river Rubicon to march on Rome, he had one legion, the Legio XIII Gemina. His soldiers werebattlehardened veterans for his wars inGaul He then gathered more of his veterans. When he went to Hispania to fight the forces of the opposition there with 6 legions, 3,000 cavalry and his personal bodyguard of 900 cavalrymen. He took three legions to fight Pompey inGreece. When he went to fight opposition armies in Tunisia he had 10 legions. At the final battle of this civil war at Munda in Spain he had 8 legions. In each of thebattlesof this war,Caesar'stroops were outnumbered.

It was not that Brutus was necessary for the conspiracy, even though, along with his brother-in-law Gaius Cassius Longinus, he was its leader. It was Julius Caesar giving the impression that he wanted to become a king which was necessary. It was this which persuaded the conspirators, including Brutus, to plot against Caesar. This would have ended the Roman Republic. Moreover, the republicans equated a king with tyranny.

Please be more specific. Which time?

Your question is a bit vague as there were 16 famous men who were called Diogenes in antiquity. I will assume that you mean Diogenes of Tarsus who was a 2nd century BC Epicurean philosopher. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor who reigned from 161 to 180 AD. He was a philosopher as well. Therefore, both men were philosophers. However, Marcus Aurelius belonged to a different philosophical school. He was a Stoic.

His your average "Hitler" type leader his is always bringing up racial politics which south africa and the rest of the world has forgoten about. yes everyone already does have a sense and right of speech according to the constitution of south africa but also the responsibility to withstand the consequences thereof. as young as we teenagers and youth we should be able to respect ourselves, elders and our leaders so that in return we can also earn the respected. there is a saying that states that a childs resembles the reflection of his or her family, so yet i ask myself how was this man raised.

No one killed Augustus. He died of old age while visiting Nola, the town where his father died. Tacitus and Cassius Dio wrote that Livia had been rumored to have poisoned Augustus with figs. However, such rumours were common when an emperor died. Historians then to see as view it as a fabrication made by those who had favoured Postumus as heir, instead of the one Augustus chose: Tiberius. Livia had the subject of l rumors of poisoning on the behalf of her son for quite a while. Augustus was 77 when he died.

It's impossible to give an accurate head count of Caesar's army. It would all depend on how many legions he had with him in his various wars. Now a legion, at least on paper, consisted of 5,000 men, but most of the time they were greatly undermanned. So if Caesar had, for example, five legions, he would technically have 25,000 men. But the reality of the situation could very well be half that number.
