The term dictator is related to the early Roman state [the Republic]. At the time it did not have any negative meaning: it was just the Roman title given to someone who got complete - and temporary - executive powers in times of emergency. The first man ever to formally carry the Roman title 'dictator' was Titus Lartius Flavus, around 500 BC.
The first dictator with the current (negative) meaning of the word was Publius Cornelius Sulla in 212 BC, who used dictatorial powers to do away with his personal enemies; the last one, at least in ancient Rome, was Julius Caesar.

Who was gaius marius and what impact did it have on Caesar?
Gaius Marius was a consul (the consuls were two annually elected heads of the city and the army) six times, and a military commander. He fought a war in Africa and one against the Cimbri, a Germanic people which attacked the northern parts of the empire. He also fought two civil wars against Sulla, another military commander. The first war was a fight between the two men over who would be consul for that year.
The second civil war was the result of conflict between optimates and populares (plural of popularis) becoming violent. The former was a conservative faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy. The latter was a faction which supported reforms in favour of the plight of the poor. Marius was a popularis and Sulla was an optimante. Sulla won the war and started a big political repression, executing or ordering the murder thousands of his political opponents.
Julius Caesar's family were patricians who had fallen on hard times. They were populares. Marius was also Caesar's uncle. His aunt married Marius. During Sulla's repression Caesar was in danger both because he was related to Marius and he because was a popularis. Sullla stripped him of his inheritance, his wife's dowry and his priesthood. He also wanted to force him to divorce, but Caesar refused and had to go into hiding.
Marius had been an inspiration for the cause of the populares and thus for Caesar. When he fought his civil war, Caesar was lenient with his enemies and pardoned them. It is thought that this was because of the horrors of the repression of the supporters of Marius by Sulla he witnessed as a young man.
Who says et tu brute in Julius Caesar?
Question: In principle, Et tu, Brute! means "And you, too, brutus?" but i do not understand why the "us" changes to "e" in the name. i assume shakespeare was just trying to show off his knowledge of how latin endings change because of case, but isn't this still the nominative case?
Correct Answer:
No. The nominative case is used to indicate subjects, as in:
Brutus venit. = Brutus is coming.
BUT, in his tragedy "Julius Caesar,"when the dying Caesar addresses his erstwhile friend Brutus, who has joined the conspiracy to assassinate him, Wm Shakespeare was not showing off; he was correctly applying the vocative case form. The vocative case changes the name of the person who is is being addressed, as in:
Et tu, Brute! = Even you, Brutus!
This sentence means, 'you too, Brutus?' He was absolutely surprised, when he realized that, his son Brutus took part in the assassinate against him.
Why were people milling in the streets in Julius Caesar?

How were the goals of Julius Caesar and Pompey different from Cicero's?
Cicero's goals differed from those of Caesar. Pompey and Crassus did not have any specific political goals, except for power when they were in the First Triumvirate. In fact after the end of the Triumvirate Pompey and Caesar drifted apart and Pompey ended up being Caesar's enemy. It i likely that Pompey and Crassus backed Caesar just because of his popularity.
Cicero and Caesar belonged to two opposite political factions. Caesar was a popularis. The populares (plural of popularis) championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to improve the lot of the poor. Cicero was an optimate. The optimates were a conservative faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy.
If not for Julius Caesar would the Roman Republic have given way to the Roman Empire?
Okay, your question needs a twofold answer. First of all the Roman republic and the Roman empire were different entities. The Republic was/is a form of government; an empire is a large holding of some sort. The two are not identical. And no, Julius Caesar did not bring down the Roman republic. The republic had been dying or even considered dead since at least the time of the first triumvirate. Caesar merely was fortunate enough to take advantage of the opportunities that opened up for him.
Yes. They were friends, but Brutus felt he had to kill Caesar for Rome. Basically, he loved Rome more than he loved Caesar.
