What did Caesar mean by the die cast?
The meaning of the expression is no turning back, reaching the point of no return. Once you have thrown the dice, you cannot change the outcome, whichever that may be/whatever chance decides.
That Julius Caesar said the dice fly high is just a recent theory, not the truth set in stone. I think that Erasmus' interpretation sound much more correct: let the dice be thrown/cast.
Plutarch, a Greek, said that Caesar quoted Menader, a Greek playwright and rendered it as 'Anerriphtho kubos. Appian, also Greek, rendered it Ho anerriphtho kubos.
Erasmus pointed out that Suetunonius' translation into Latin as Alae iacta est (the die is cast/has been cast,) was inaccurate because the Greek sentence was phrased in the subjective mood and should have been rendered Alea iacta esto (let the dice be cast/thrown).
Erasmus was one of the greatest scholars of the renaissance and a man who re-translated both the Latin and the Greek versions of the New Testament.
Let the dice fly high is a dubious translation or, at the very least, overstretched. It relies on the fact that to in Greek, the verb throw in Greek can be rendered as to propel something in the air, but this had the meaning to throw just as in other languages.
Ho anerriphtho expresses the subjunctive which changes the verb from thrown to let it be thrown. Note that it gives is a more and dramatic poetic hue.
There are three problems with the 'let the dice fly high': 1) the word high in not present in the Greek original, 2) the sentence becomes more vague and looses its sense of no turning back, 2) the loss of the subjunctive mood in the phrasing makes it loose the dramatic effect that Caesar most likely would have wanted as he was taking a dramatic step.
Why did Julius Caesar add days to the year 46 BC?
Julius Caesar and Augustus did not add two months to the year named after them. The original calendar established by Romulus, the first king of Rome, in the mid-8th century (the Romulean calendar) had ten months. Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, reformed the calendar in the late 8th or early 7th century BC. He added two months. It is called by historians the calendar of Numa).
The names of the two months named after Julius Caesar and Augustus in the Julian calendar replaced previous names. This was done for their glory. It was also done within the framework of a calendar reform. Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar, switching from a lunar one to a solar one.
What were Julius Caesars military strategies?
The military feats of Caesar were his conquest of Gaul in his Gallic Wars, his victory in his civil war against the forces of the senate led by Pompey the Great (Caesar's Civil War) and his defeat of Pharnaces II the king of Pontus (in northeastern Turkey). It is in the latter occasion that he said his famous phrase: "Veni, vidi, vici." Although it is usually translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered", it actually meant "I came, I saw, I won."
Who won the civil war that followed the death of julius caesar?
Yes, but not immediately. Rome was in turmoil after Caesar murder and Antony and the Senate came to a loose compromise which rather rewarded the assassins but kept Caesar's acts in force as law. Then Octavian came on the scene and after a bumpy relationship with Marc Antony, they joined forces in a war of vengeance against Caesar's killers. Eventually, Antony and Octavian had a war for supremacy, which was a civil war in all but name. It was thirteen years after Caesar's death that this last war took place.
Farewell, good Strato.
Caesar, now be still.
I killed not thee with half so good a will.
How many battles did Julius Caesar lose?

Is July named after Julius Julius Caesar?
Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) was deified as a god by the Romans under Caesar's heir, Octavian (later Augustus Caesar). His birth month, Quintilis, was renamed Iulius in his honor.
(In 8 BC, the month of August was similarly named for Augustus)
Cinna the poet, a different man from Cinna the conspirator, walks through the city. A crowd of plebeians descends, asking his name. He answers that his name is Cinna, and the plebeians confuse him with the conspirator Cinna. Despite Cinna's insistence that they have the wrong man, the plebeians drag him off and beat him to death.
What was Brutus's motive for killing Caesar?
Brutus, Cassius and the conspiracy killed Caesar. Cassius and the conspiracy killed him because they were jealous and they thought that he was going to be over-powering. Cassius persuades Brutus to kill Caesar with them because he says that it is for the country of Rome, but really it isn't. So they kill Caesar with the conspiracy and the story goes on.
They didn't kill him alone, but by 23 (or more) stabs by the entire senate group. Brutus and Cassius led the rebellion.
They killed him because they feared his growing power and he had taken away some of theirs. They didn't want a monarchy again.
They feared a monarchy because of the Etruscan kings.
Pompey the Great fought in the last years the Third Mithridatic War against Mithridates V, the King of Pontus and Tigranes the Great, the king of Armenia. Rome won. He also freed Syria from Armenian rule and restored the king (who had fled to Rome to ask for help) as a client king. A few years later he annexed Syria because a civil war there was a concern. he also turned Judea into a client state, again because of concerns about internal civil strife. He also fought against Julius Caesar in Caesar's civil war. Prior to that he had been a member of the First Triumvirate, a three-men alliance between Pompey, Crassus and Caesar
Why does Caesar's opponents dislike him?
The price of success is having enemies and Caesar was no exception. He had both military and political enemies, with the political enemies being the most dangerous as they were the ones who killed him. Caesar's land reform and debt reform bills were opposed by many members of the senate as they were the ones who would be the losers while the lower classes gained.

How are brutus and Cassius similar?
Both Okonkwo and Julius Caesar are strong alpha males, driven to be leaders of their society. However, both end up having tragic downfalls. Okonkwo, because of his arrogance, hubris and disregard of others, ends up having his ideals and plan of action ultimately rejected by the society because his society is unwilling to follow the path that he treads, ie one of violent responsive action. Julius Caesar, also due to arrogance, and disregard of others, ends up being assassinated as the leaders of his society wished to cling to power and not be ruled by Caesar.
Both stubbornly clinged to their ideals, without any notion of compromise, and as a result, faced reprisal.

What were Julius Caesar's characteristics?
Julius Caesar was a blend of may character traits. All the ancient writers agree that he was a personable, likable fellow, even Cicero who was his political enemy, liked him personally. He tended to be impatient, as he wanted things done quickly. He did not hesitate to take on the work of leading an army, governing, and reforming. Towards the end of his life when he had amassed more power than any other man before him, he grew arrogant and insulting to the senate, the same senate that had originally given him his power and authority.
