Julius Caesar

Firstly, and mainly, he does it by persuasion. Have a look at Act 1, Scene 2 in Julius Caesar, and look at the speeches Cassius makes to Brutus: he makes arguments against Caesar, based on Caesar's ambition.

Marcus Tullius Cicero, most commonly referred to as simply "Cicero", was a Roman politician born in 106BC. He was a celebrated orator, defending (and on one occasion prosecuting) in many trials and delivering many famous speeches. He gained the position of consul, the highest political position in the Roman Republic, in 63 BC.

His writings, including speeches and letters, are some of the most important sources for 1st century BC Roman history. They give an insight into the political and social structure of the Roman Republic.

Yes, Julius Caesar was a good leader for his time. He rewarded his troops and thereby insured their loyalty, despite a couple of mutinies. He rewarded his political backers in Rome and was very popular with the common people. He granted clemency and even Roman citizenship to towns and individuals. In other words, he was a man who knew how to grant favors and to withhold them, thereby gaining support and loyalty and building his personal reputation.

Julius Caesar claimed Briton for Rome but left it fairly quickly with a roman governor who had a lot of problems with the natives. It was left for decades until Caligula decided to have a go at invading it but he took one look and ran the other way. It finally came into the roman world when Claudius invaded a few years later. He was in his fifties by then and successfully put down all opposition by using tactics not usual to warfare. He is supposed to have taken elephants with him to frighten the Britons. He was ther about a month and left it better ruled. Rome ruled over Briton for 500 years until abandoning it

Julian Calender, without it we wouldnt have 365 days divided into 12 months. But this idea was taken from a greek astronomer

Caesar had, among other ideas for change, debt reform and land reform. These were sore spots with the Optimates (his political enemies) and were a factor in his death.

Caesar might have thought that Brutus joined the conspiracy because he disliked Caesar himself, though that was not true. Brutus loved and respected Caesar and was a very dear friend to him, so killing Caesar was a very difficult thing for Brutus to do; though Brutus did that for the sake of Rome because he believed that Caesar would have nothing but a bad influence towards the people of Rome. So, Brutus' motivations for joining the conspiracy were to unwillingly murder Caesar but save Rome itself. After all, Brutus turned out to be more loyal to Rome than to Caesar!

Julius Caesar's actions started the civil war between him and Pompey.

The term dictator had a different meaning to the Romans. During the Republic the dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree in times of emergency. The decree established the mandate of the dictator and his term of office was six months. Caesar had himself appointed dictator to preside over his election as consul and resigned from the office after 11 days. He then was appointed dictator for one year, then for 10 years and then for life. This was an extraordinary bending of the traditional practice. However, it is necessary to remember that the term dictator was completely different. Caesar did not act fully 'dictatorially.' He was known for his leniency and magnanimity and was extremely popular among the middle and lower classes of Rome, which was the real base of his power.

Augustus' rule cannot be described as a dictatorship. He made himself an absolute ruler, a bit like the absolute monarch of later European history. He did not rule dictatorially. He was a benign ruler.

Octavian (Octavius' name changed to Octavian when he was adopted by Julius Caesar) and Mark Antony did not like each other. Mark Antony did not like Octavian 's personality and the fact that he was Caesar's heir. Octavian thought that Mark Antony was egotistic and a bad statesman. The two men were also rivals for power. Cicero flattered Octavian to enlist his support and set him against Mark Antony. However, the two men became allies. In the end they clashed over power. The both started a vicious propaganda campaign against each other. Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Mark Antony's ally, in order to fight Mark Antony, whom he knew would help her. Octavian won the ultimate power struggle in the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic. against his rival and his ally.

he eventually caused Mark Antony and Cleopatra to kill themselves. Mark Antony because he saw he would be defeated and Cleopatra killed herself after pleading with Octavian/Augustus to let her retire so her and his uncle Caesar's son could rule which of course he said no to. later he killed his cousin as well.

Claudius is a fictional king in William Shakespeare's "Hamlet." He was the brother and uncle of King Hamlet and Hamlet.

ceasar is dead as we all know. However there is debate over the sickness that he was supposed to have had. The ancients call it epilepsy, which they were familiar with. Modern writers with our modern medical knowledge, think that Caesar may have had hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, which present the same symptoms as epilepsy. There is reason for believing this, due to Caesar's life style and diet.

There are several reasons that the fall of Rome was important and you will get several answers from anyone you ask and all of them will be valid. For openers, western civilization was put on hold after the barbarians overran the empire. Christianity became dominate (even with all its problems) as it was the sole unifying force of western Europe. The end of the Roman empire was also the beginning of the nations or countries of modern Europe.

Julius Caesar controlled all the Mediterranean islands but is not credited with actually conquering any of them. He did win over Pharos Island after winning the Alexandrian war, but this was a prize of war not an actual conquest in itself.

This is said by Casca in Act I, Scene III.

Julius Caesar achieved approval from the senate by being a clever Roman politician. He stacked the senate in his favor using the powers of consul and dictator. He raised capable men to positions in the senate and those men in turn were obligated to him. This was the Roman cultural custom of "amicitia"

which was literally a friendship, but it had deeper undertones and obligations. Don't be misled into thinking that the entire senate was conspiring to assassinate Caesar. It was merely a few-- 30 to 60--depending upon your source, who were in on the conspiracy. The rest of the senate was either loyal to Caesar or neutral.

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul north of Gallia Narbonensis (southern France) which was already a Roman Province. This territory comprised France apart from the south, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland south of the river Rhine and Germany west of the river Rhine. The German portion was later divided into Germania Superior and Germania Inferior. Caesar also conducted two expeditions in the southeast of England, which he abandoned to concentrate on the campaigns in Gaul.

It depends on onions. The opponents of Caesar thought that he was dismantling the Roman Republic and planning to become a tyrant. His supporters thought that he was saving the Republic form collapse by improving its failing administration, tackling corruption and taking measures to help the starving masses.

Julius Caesar was the hero of the people and a villain in the eyes of his political enemy. They saw him as an ambitious man who would not stop at nothing to gain popularity and power. They also thought that he would dismantle the institutions of the Rome Republic and make himself a king, which to the Republicans meant tyranny .

A clock chimes. They only had sundials in Ancient Rome, but when Shakespeare wrote this play, the Elizabethans had clocks that chimed.
