Brutus:

And for Mark Antony, think not of him;

For he can do no more than Caesar's arm

How did Julius Caesar treat the people he conquered?

Julius Caesar was tremendously popular with the middle and lower classes of Rome. This was because he was a popularis. The populares (plural) were a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and tried to introduce reforms to help them. It was opposed by the optimates, a conservative political faction which favoured the aristocracy and opposed reforms. The power base of the optimates was the senate. The optimates were unpopular with the masses because they opposed reform and were the representatives of an aristocracy which was seen as corrupt. Caesar was seen as the hero of ordinary people and the poor. To them he stood up to the senate. Caesar implemented an agrarian reform which redistributed land to the poor. He issued a debt restructuring law, which eliminated about a fourth of all debts owed. He abolished a corrupt tax system which tendered tax collection to private individuals who "farmed" tax collection to line their pockets. He reverted to an earlier system which allowed cites to collect the taxes themselves. He gave greater legal rights to the conquered peoples. He also donated money to the poor.

How did Augustus Caesar help transform Rome from a republic to an empire?

Julius Caesar actually contributed very little to the change in government. Rome was an empire under the republic. It's government was not changed from the republican form of government to the principate form of government (which is erroneously called the empire) until the reign of Augustus, fourteen years after Caesar's death. The only possible connection Caesar could have to the governmental change was that he accepted the position of dictator for life, foreshadowing the principate.

How old was Julius Caesar when he became general?

Julius Caesar was not a general. This is because during the period of the Roman Republic there was not a professional career for Roman military officers. Politics and the military were not separate. The military commanders were politicians who held the two of the three higher political offices (the consuls, the praetors) and by the provincial governors. The consuls and the praetors held their political office for one year and when this expired they lost their right to command an army. The provincial governors could hold their office for longer, but when it ended, they, too, lost the right to command an army. Moreover, the Roman legions were levied by those who were entitled to hold military command, rather than the state.

Like the other Roman politicians of the time, Caesar pursued a number of activities and political offices. In 69 B.C. he was a quaestor (treasurer). In 69 B.C. he served as a praetor (chief justice) in the Roman Province of Hispania Ulterior (Further Spain) for one year. He did not hold military command. This was held by the provincial governor and his role was limited to judicial responsibilities. He then returned to Rome and became a layer renowned for prosecuting former provincial governors for corruption and extortion. In 63 B.C. he became Pontifex Maximum, the high priest of Roman state religion, whose term lasted one year. He held the office of praetor in Rome in 62 B.C., but did not assume military command in that year. Caesar first held military command in 61 B.C. when was the governor of Hispania Ulterior for one year. He took charge of two legions stationed there, the VII Augusta and the IX Hispana and levied a third one personally, the X Equestris. This is when he discovered he had good military leadership skills. He defeated two Lusitanian groups which rebelled against he Romans. After that he returned to Rome again. In 59 B.C. he became one of the two consuls (the annually elected heads of the Republic), but he did not hold military command as there were no military conflicts in that year. Caesar held military command again in 58 B.C. when he became the governor of three Roman provinces: Galllia Cisalpina (in Northern Italy), Illyricum (on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea)and Gallia Transalpina (in southern France). This gave him the command of the three legions which he had led when he was a governor in Spain and the VIII Augusta, which also had, like the others, been redeployed. When he embarked on his Gallic Wars he also enlisted the X Equestris which he had established when he was in Spain and levied two more legions, the XI and XII Fulminata.

What kind handicap did Caesar have?

He did have seizures and probable epilepsy. He may have been deaf in the left ear as so.

Julius Caesar Became the first roman dictator in 48 BC?

assassinated

Flavus was the first designated dictator. Dictator was a temporary office created in times of national emergency, when the country was under martial law. Cincinnatus famously was summoned from his plowing and, once the crisis was over, resigned the dictatorship, and returned to his plow. There are over forty dictators listed in Roman archives. However, Julius Caesar is the only one created Dictator in Perpetuus. Following Caesar's assassination, his heir, Octavius, became the Emperor of Rome, known as Caesar Augustus, although his official title was Princeps.

What does Caesar observe about Cassius?

Cassius and Caesar, according to Shakespeare's play, were childhood friends (Cassius told a story of how he even saved Caesar from drowning in the Tiber River). Obviously, they were once good friends. However, Caesar gained more power and disregarded Cassius (Cassius also became more jealous and was not so friendly in return). Caesar had new friends, like Antony and Brutus, who were loyal to him. Caesar did not need Cassius to be his friend; he felt threatened by Cassius at one point. He said to Antony that he did not trust him (he was a thinker, probably plotting something devious). Caesar had hubris and did not feel threatened, really, by anyone. Obviously, Caesar undermined Cassius and did not care for him as a friend.

Where was Caesar assassinated?

I do not know the answer but which Caesar are you talking about Julius Caesar or Augustus Caesar? Probably in Greece anyways.

Example of foreshadowing in Julius Caesar act 2?

If we agree with the definition that a soliloquay is an instance when a character relates his or her thoughts and feelings to him/herself and to the audience without addressing any of the other characters, then examples of soliloquay are bound in the Play Julius Caesar but since the question demands 'a' meaning one answer, I will refer us to Act 2, Scene 1 from line 25 wherein, Brutus is in conflict with his conscience on whether to join in Cassius' plan.

Why did Portia commit suicide in Julius Caesar?

Cleopatra was a ruler of Egypt as well as Gaius Julius Caeser. Cleopatra and Gaius had a relationship in which she gave birth to a son that they called Ptolemy Caesar who was nicknamed Caesarion.

After Gaius was assassinated, she aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced a set of twins named Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios and a son called Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Mark Antony had committed suicide after his general misheard and believed Cleopatra to be dead. She had him brought to her and she was held prisoner as he died in her arms. She didn't want to be treated like dirt, as Caesarion wanted to bring her to rome to be pulled along the streets. She asked for a sanke to be placed in a basket of figs, as Caesarion did not want her to die. She let the snake bite her, ending her life.

But she most likely killed her self because she went mad after her two husbands died and did not want to dragged around the streets in rome and ended her life with a burning sensation flowing through her body.

What effect did Julius Caesar's siezurre of power have on the roman politicalsystem?

First of all, a little clarification is needed. Julius Caesar did not seize power. He was a general; that power had already been given to him. He did, however, seize the initiative in starting the civil war which brought him victory. As the victor, he earned the powers of government. Also, all the honors and dictatorial terms he had were given to him by the senate. In other words, the senate willingly turned the power and authority over to Caesar. Now the effect that this had on the political system was one of change. The republic was dead. It had choked on its own corruption and despite the efforts of men like Cicero, it could not be resurrected. After the death of Caesar there was a power vacuum that neither the senate nor the triumvirate could fill. The Roman world was ready for a unified, one man rule and Octavian was that man.

Who were Casca in Julius Caesar?

Cassius and Marcus Brutus are part of the conspiracy to kill Ceasar for the good of Rome. Brutus used to be Caesar's best friend but betrayed him by helping to kill him. Cassius was also part of the killing of Cassius. In the end in the battle of Phillipi, Brutus and Cassisu join forces to fight against Marc Antony and his troops.

What are the similarities between Julius Caesar the movie and the book?

I'm sure there were some cuts in the text. Heston himself discusses the making of the film in his autobiography, The Actor's Life (1978). It's not a bad film (except for a surprisingly weak performance by Jason Robards), and it's fairly close to the play, but I think the 1953 version, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, is much better. Good luck.
