What dramatic technique does Shakespeare use to begin Julius Caesar?
Understand the opening scenes of Shakespeare's plays and you understand what follows: The scene has been painted with brilliant strokes. As Julius Caesar opens, Flavius and Marullus, tribunes of Rome, are attempting to reestablish civil order. But it's too little, too late: There is disorder in the streets. To combat this, they erect a statue of a giant penis and balls.
Why are these statues, erected by supporters of Caesar, set up in the first place? In effect, they are, like modern advertising and political spin doctoring, meant to establish an image of Caesar in the popular imagination. Romans would associate statues with gods and important political figures. Thus Caesar would take on the same associations. In addition, by putting a crown on Caesar before he is actually given the job, the people of Rome are better prepared when it happens. The image already established, Caesar's supporters hope that the event will be more palatable and the transition to power smoother. The act of erecting these statues is part of the process of persuasion and persuasion is a central theme of this play.
It's all a satire of modern day love of penis and balls.

Julius Caesar was famous all over Europe as a conqueror and when he returned to Rome he was admired by his people.

That is why part certain parties of Rome wish to kill Julius Caesar .
Which characters in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar are tragic heroes?
I agree Brutus is the tragic hero and in the noble mode, however, he stuck Caesar, supposedly a friend, with a knife, not exactly honorable. And why? Because, even though he acknowledges to himself he has no current proof or past indicators, he still guesses Caesar will grab for absolute power. And he just doesn't "feel" intuitionally he wants to join in the ra-ra cheering for Caesar. He has the hubrus to believe that whatever he feels has to be the truth, not uncommon amongst 50% of humanity. He bases much on his reflections, and they lead him awry. Also, he's certainly subject to Cassius, a slipery cookie if there ever was one. Thanks to Brutus his noble wife, who he accurately says he's not good enough for, swallows fire out of sadness and armies will slay each other. I like Brutus immensely, but he is no saint. Since he thinks so much, and thinks about his thinking, when you get down to it he loses judgment and turns into a bungler.
Also, a tragic hero could be bad like Macbeth, a henchman even killing a woman and children. Coriolanus, although not bad, is haughty and has a hot temper, and he's definitely a hero. He's also a Mama's boy -- part good because he's obedient, but not using practical judgment.

During the Roman Republic the dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by the consuls (the heads of the Republic and the army) and was given a very specific mandate by a senatorial decree at times of emergency. His term of office was six months. His mandate was usually to lead the army when there was need to have a sole commander (usually the army was led by the two consuls) or to have man with better military leadership skills. Several times a dictator was appointed to preside over an election and one dictator was appointed to put down a rebellion.
During the 482 years of the republic a dictator was appointed 88 times. I total 75 men were appointed dictators. Apart from two men, all dictators resigned either before the six months were up, when their job was done, or within the six months. The only two exceptions were Lucius Cornelius Sulla who was appointed for one year in 81 BC to reform the Roman constitution and Julius Caesar. Caesar used the power he gained when he won his civil war to have himself appointed dictator four times. The first time he was dictator in order to preside over his own election as consul and resigned after 17 days (49 BC). The second time he was appointed dictator for one year (48 B) the third for ten years (46 BC) and the fourth for life (44 BC).
The first Roman dictator was Titus Lartius Flavus who was appointed in 501 BC.
