The significance of the opening scene of Julius Caesar?

The opening scene is always very significant. Act I Scene I of Julius Caesar is important, as it sets the mood of the play. It opens with a sense of opposition from the tribunes.

Although Caesar isn't physically there, his presence is strong.

What law did Julius Caesar break?

I believe the answer you're looking for took place in 49 BC, when Caesar crossed the Rubicon. He had been serving in Gaul as a pro-consul, but was being prosecuted by Pompey and the senate. He marched to Rome to defend his honor, but had to cross the river Rubicon. It was forbidden for armies to march across the Rubicon: they could only cross by disbanding, thus protecting the city. Caesar was hesitant to make his decision; however, he crossed it and shouted out the famous words: Ale Iacta Est, or "The Die Has Been Cast". Hope this is what you were looking for!

What kind of ruler Augustus Caesar?

He was a clever one. He avoided taking absolute power (which had brought down Julius Caesar), sharing it with the Senators to keep them happy, but keeping overall by assuming background powers of Tribune of the Plebs at home, and pro-consul overseas, plus controlling the border provinces which was where the army was.

He called himself Augustus, which avoided the accusation of kingship and Dictatorship, and used the old fashioned office of Princeps - first citizen. A careful camouflage which lasted for 200 years. He set about stabilising Rome's empire and improving the security and prosperity of the people. The title Emperor did not exist (other than the word Imperator - an acclamation reserved for a successful general on a battlefield) which we later came to use for absolute rulers of empires.

When year did Julius Caesar died?

He died on the 15th of March, 44 B.C. (B.C.E.). The date is referred to as 'the Ides of March' and is most commonly used in the sentence, 'Beware the Ides of March' because a Soothsayer (seer) reportedly told Julius Caesar that before his death.

How did Julius Caesar become powerful?

It depends which point of view you look at. The Patricians or the wealthy citizens of Rome did not like Caesar and thought that he was an evil, foolish tryant. The Plebians or the poorer class of citizens sort of like him. Julius Caesar wanted support of the Plebians because they were a much bigger population of people than the Patricians were. The Patricians did not Caesar to rule ROme and his family after him. Julius Caesar did perform good acts but was very ambitous or arrogant. He was blinded by power.

Why do brutus and Cassius kill themselves?

Brutus asks Strato to kill him so Brutus wouldn't have to die by the enemies sword

*<edit>

Because the last answer was rather strange I decided to help. Cassius killed himself once he thought his friend (Titinius or something like that) was kidnapped by the enemy. He asked Pindarus (or how ever you spell his name) to kill him. Brutus kills himself later (thanks to the help of Strato) cause he's sure they're are going to lose to Antony. That's how it works in the play Julius Caesar but for all I know the top answer could be true. I rarely look into things deep.

2nd edit

brutus kills himself because he feels bad for killing Caesar for no good reason. Cassius kills himself b/c he thought titunius was kidnapped and dead.

after all this, Antony, octavius and lepidus are in charge of rome

Where did Julius Caesar land in Britain?

It is not known the Roman historian Suetonius said that Claudius sailed from Boulogne, but did not say where he landed. It has to be noted that Claudius did not lead this invasion. He sent Aulus Plautius with three legions to start the operations. Claudius joined him with reinforcements and war elephants after the initial campaigns were completed. He stayed in Britannia for only 16 days. The conquest of the southeast of England was carried out by one of Plautius' commanders, Vespasian.

The landing site of Aulus Plautius is not known either. Kent, possibly Richborough, the site where Fishbourne Roman palace was built, near Chichester, and Southampton Water have been suggested. Another possibility is that the Romans sailed from the mouth of the river Rhine, sailed along the Belgian coast and landed north of the river Thames.

Who said When beggars die there are no comets seen the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes?

It seems to me that it would have been more sensible if Shakepeare did not ascribe the blazing of heavens to death of princes as mouthed by Calphurnia "The heavens blaze forth themselves the death of princes", on the ground that the birth of princes is a happy and glorious occasion rather than an something ominous.?

Why did some Romans oppose Juilius Caesar?

The Romans were not jealous of Julius Caesar. In fact they admired him and were the ones who granted him all his honors and privileges. However a few of the senators were alarmed and a little afraid of him. This is because of the vast amount of power he had acquired and would not give up. They believed that he went against the main principle of the republic which was that one man should not have supreme power for life. Caesar had acquired this lifelong power when he was made perpetual dictator. That's when the conspirators formed their plan and acted.
