Julius Caesar

100-144 BC. that is the time period in which Julius Cesar ruled over the roman land

That is wrong Caesar was born July 12th 100BC and was assassinated on March 15th 44BC.

Remember BC goes from high to low and AD (the time period we are in now) goes from low to high.

Marcus Brutus was raised by his uncle Cato the young. Cato was not rich him self but became rich when he married a wealthy widow. so in a way Brutus was poor becasue he was an orphan but rich because of his uncle.

Cassius was extremely jealous of Caesar and was convinced that once he ascended the throne he would form a monarchy.Cassius convinced Brutus that if Caesar was allowed to become the ruler of Rome it would mean the end of liberty and freedom

So Brutus was doing it for the good of Rome whereas Cassius was motivated by jealousy,

The Rubicon. When he took his army across the Rubicon as a fighting force, it meant he was declaring war on the Roman government.

Julius Caesar's date of supreme authority was from 48 BC when he won the civil war, to his death in 44 BC. He had been elected consul previously and made dictator for a time, but these positions were acquired under the legal actions of the republic. His final dictatorship, the perpetual one, was the one that caused his death.

Julius Caesar had one child, a daughter, named Julia. She was the result of his first wife Cornelia. There is a suspicion, and only a suspicion, that he was also the father of Cleopatra's son, nicknamed Caesarion. (Many questions about this and we will never know the truth) He also had an adopted son, Gaius Octavius, who later became known as Augustus Caesar.

Caesar was certainly ambitious, arrogant, conceited, selfish, cynical and ruthless. It was for these characteristics that Brutus joined the conspiracy against him, particularly his ambition, as he says in his speech. They are characteristics which Caesar shared with Cassius and Antony and Octavian, so by rights they should also be Cassius's and Antony's and Octavian's tragic flaws. Except that this play ends well for Antony, and Octavian goes on to become the deified Caesar Augustus, first Emperor of Rome.

What you should be getting out of this is that "tragic flaws" are ideas made up by unimaginative English teachers to annoy students of Shakespeare. Bad things do not always happen to people because they are flawed, either in literature or real life. We do not feel sorry for people who tragedy strikes because we feel that they are morally inferior in some way. Indeed, such people are less sympathetic. Check out Shakespeare's tragedy Timon of Athens if you want a story where the "tragic hero" really is flawed. He's really unlikable; there's a reason why you are not studying Timon in school.

Basically, this "tragic flaw" game is 100% hindsight and 0% insight. Something bad happened to someone--we look through his actions which led up to it, fasten on what appears to be a leading characteristic, and call it a "flaw". It doesn't matter that the same characteristic leads others to be blindingly successful. Henry V is one of Shakespeare's greatest heroes, who is as ambitious as Macbeth, as ruthless as Caesar, and as decisive as Othello (and also as easily manipulated, if it is churchmen doing the manipulating). Sure, we can say that Caesar's tragic flaw is that he is ambitious and ruthless, and then we turn around and say that Brutus's tragic flaw is that he is NOT ambitious and NOT ruthless.

Unfortunately, this rubbish spoils Shakespeare (whose plays are actually delightful, moving, and quite easy to understand) for far too many people.

Towards the end of his life, Julius Caesar grew arrogant and autocratic. When he was made dictator for life, the conspirators thought the Republic was ended. They murdered him thinking they were saving the Republic.

Tiberius and Augustus were not related biologically. Tiberius was the son of Livia, the wife of Augustus. However Augustus adopted Tiberius making him his son and heir.

Julius Caesar never adopted Augustus. Augustus was Julius's nephew and Augustus had to fight to become the Caesar.

Edit: This is false. Augustus was Julius's great nephew as well as his adopted son. Unfortunately, I don't know when he was adopted though.

The slaves in ancient Rome wore the same clothing as anyone else., tunic, belt, cloak, shoes and sandals. The appearance and quality of these articles of clothing depended on the wealth of their master or on how much the slave was willing to take out of his savings to buy himself things. A wealthy person, prided himself on the appearance of his household and possessions so generally his slaves were well dressed. The slaves who worked the farms were not so fashionable and usually had clothing of coarser materials. By law the master of a farm slave had to give them certain articles of clothing each year. There is a story, that at one time, someone brought up a resolution in the senate that the slaves should only wear distinctive clothing, but it was voted down, because then the slaves would know how strong they were in numbers and might start a revolution.

One of the main themes is that misuse of power is a corruptive force. Some minor themes are friendship, honor, goodness of loyalty, the evil of pride, and conspiracy.

One of the main themes in Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar, is power and ambition and how it can corrupt. Brutus is afraid the absolute power might turn Caesar into a tyrant. He is concerned for the welfare of his country. After taking part in Caesar's assassination, Brutus argues to the crowd that committed murder out of love for his country, and made them believe that if Caesar were still alive, they would all be slaves, whereas now that Caesar is dead, they can have freedom. He claimed that even though he loved Caesar, he loved Rome more. Brutus really believes this, and therefore he agrees to take part in Caesar's assassination. His fear of Caesar's power is part of what moves him to betray his best friend. Two of the main themes in Julius Caesar are how power and ambition can corrupt a person, turning him into a tyrant, and how fear of this tyranny. Caesar can cause even the most honorable of people who are friends to turn against someone and betray that person as Brutus betrayed

Julius Caesar is the uncle of Augustus Caesar and later adopted son and heir.
Octavian, the man who would become Augustus, was Julius Caesar's great nephew. He was the son of Caesar's niece, Atia, who was the daughter of Caesar's sister, Julia. Making Octavian more popular among the supporters of the slain Julius Caesar was the fact that Julius Caesar adopted Octavian as his son.

Artemidorous was the teacher that tried to warn Caesar.

"Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius;

come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna, trust not

Trebonius: mark well Metellus Cimber: Decius Brutus

loves thee not: thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius.

There is but one mind in all these men, and it is

bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal,

look about you: security gives way to conspiracy.

The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover,

'ARTEMIDORUS.'

Here will I stand till Caesar pass along,

And as a suitor will I give him this.

My heart laments that virtue cannot live

Out of the teeth of emulation.

If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayst live;

If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive."

He wasn't buried but if you wish to know where his remains were placed you would be dissapointed to know he was cremated and his ashes were placed in the royal family's tomb (Now St. Angelos Castle in Rome), but will be further dissapointed to know during the 410 AD Sack of Rome, the visigoths stormed the tomb and threw all the ashes of former great emperors such as Caesar, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius in the floors and will later become lost forever.

Julius Caesar bloody ghost

Brutus is against including Cicero and killing Mark Antony because he believes that Cicero will not follow anything that another man has started. He is against killing Mark Antony because he feels it will be to bloody.

Not in real life. Remember Shakespeare was a playwright, a dramatic writer. Although he wrote on historical subjects, he was providing entertainment. He fictionalized and embellished historical data. However in real life Marc Antony did give Caesar's funeral oration and it started a riot. (Besides, "friends, Romans, countrymen" was no way for a Roman orator to begin a speech)

Thus Brutus decides action must be taken now, as Caesar is like a serpent's egg - dangerous once hatched. Time to make an omelet. More....
