What are the three points Cassius uses to manipulate Brutus?
Marc Antony begins his indictment of Julius Caesar assassins during the middle of the speech after praising Brutus the conspirator as an "honorable" and "noble man."

Julius Caesar effected Rome because he was loved by his army, and everyone that would fight for him wouldn't give up because they cared for him, only for the reason that they cared was because he treated them as equals, ate with them, slept with them, didn't treat them like dirt.

What faults does Caesar see in Cassius' nature?
Cassius was one of the senators that Caesar forgave after the death of Pompey. Cassius saw this fault in Caesar, that was he wanted to be king. The best quote from Cassius was to Brutus in order to entice him into the conspiracy against Caesar was this one:
"... a Senate half filled with Caesar's appointees would pass the "measure to give kingship to Caesar" and in doing so all hopes for the restoration of the Republic would be lost."
What did the Romans call the word money?
Roman's had a few words for money, but the most commonly used term was argentum which literally means "silver" and is the origin of the French word for money, argent. Pecuniawas also used, and survives in the English "pecuniary" meaning financial.
Names for Roman currencies were the origin of the word for money in many modern languages. For example, denarius (a silver coin in ancient Rome) is the origin of the Spanish word for money, dinero, and aureus (a gold coin in ancient Rome) is the origin of Romance languages' words for gold (oro in Spanish, or in French, etc.) and the English "ore," meaning a precious mineral.
Why Rome holds secondary position in the classic literature of antiquity?
Roman scholars had a great respect for Greek literature and and the Greek civ in general (something that carried through the Renaissance, effectively stopping scientific thought) and were more prone to translate and analyse the Greek best plays/poems/essays etc . I believe originality and language to be the main factors.
Why was Caesar's death good for Rome?
Caesar's death was good in the eyes of his assassins and bad for Rome. His assassins killed him because they thought he wanted to become a king. The Roman Republic had been created nearly 500 years earlier when the last king of Rome was deposed because he was a tyrant and the monarchy was abolished. The purpose of the Republic was to prevent the return of tyranny. The assassin equated a king with tyranny. Therefore, they thought that by killing Caesar they saved the \Republic and liberty.
The reality was different. Caesar was the hero of the people who saw him as a man who had the courage and means to challenge the Romans aristocracy, which they saw as out of touch and corrupt. People were very upset about his death and came close to rioting. The aftermath of his death was more civil wars between Caesar's supporters and his opponents and then a civil war between Caesar's supporters.

Very little is known about Caesarion, but we know that Cleopatra made him her co-ruler as soon as she eliminated her brother in 44 BC. Judging from the inscription on the temple of Hathor at Dendera, he was equal in power to his mother, at least in the minds of the Egyptians.
Did Julius Caesar accept the crown?
Certainly not! The whole point of the exercise was to prove to the Roman people that he would not under any circumstances accept the position of king. In the minds of the Romans, the title of king was tarnished by the memory of the tyrant Tarquin Superbus who was overthrown when the Republic was first set up. Caesar was in fact the dictator of the state and held powers just as broad as those of a king, but the people would not mind, as long as he did not call himself a king.
Antony later plays on this event: "You all did see upon the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"
Augustus was born on the Palatine Hill, in the city of Rome.
