How many people did Julius Caesar kill?

60 members of the senate in Rome at the time, as well as Caesar's good friend Marcus Junius Brutus. When Caesar saw Brutus running at him with the dagger, supposedly he said, "Et ti, Brute" ( And you Brutus?)

Why did the conspirators want Caesar dead?

Julius Caesar was famous all over Europe as a conqueror and when he returned to Rome he was admired by his people. But many of Caesar’s friends and companions were afraid of his increasing popularity. They suspected that he was being ambitious day by day and wished to become King of Roman people in order to gain absolute power in affairs of state. 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.

How long did Julius Caesar dictate rome?

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.

Where was Julius Cesar killed?

Gaius Julius Caesar, dictator of the Roman Republic, was assassinated in the Theatre of Pompey in Rome on the ides of March (March 15), 44 BCE, by as many as 60 or so senators who feared that Caesar plotted to overthrow the Republic and become king.

The great irony of Caesar's murder is that, after his death, the Republic was plunged into civil war, eventually overthrown and replaced by the Empire, headed by the first emperor, Caesar Augustus (formerly Octavius, Caesar's adopted heir). Another great irony is that he died at the foot of the statue of Pompey: the man who had opposed him, and who Caesar had fought and beaten in several battles before Pompey was murdered by the Egyptians.

What was Julius Caesar's nickname?

Julian, but not quite. Julian was Caesar's gens or clan name, not his nickname. In fact , with the exception of Antylus or Rufus, we don't know any Roman nicknames, even though they certainly had them. This is because the ancient writers always used the lawful names of those of whom they were writing and not nicknames.

Juilus Caesar did not have a nickname.

The Romans did have nicknames. This was the agnomen. The Roman naming system consisted of the praenomen (the person's first name) nomen (the name of the clan) and cognomen (the name of the branch of the clan). To these, an agnomen (plur. agnomina) could be added. These were nicknames.

Some agnomina were adoptive. An adopted person would take the adoptive fathers' name. An agnomen was added to indicate the former identity.

Some agnomina were triumphal. They indicated the area were someone had been victorious or who someone defeated. Some examples are Scipio Africanus (the African), Claudius II Gothicus (the Goth).

Apart from these, agnomina often described a characteristic of the person and were sometimes derogatory. Agnomina were not always used. Sometimes they became cognomina.

Some examples of agnomina are: Aculeo (prickly, unfriendly), Ahala (underarm pit), Albinus (pale, white skinned), Ambustus (scolded), Aquilinus (eagle-like), Barbatus (bearded), Brutus (dullard), Caecus (blind), Calidus (hot-headed), Caninus (dog-like) Cordus (born late), Corvus (crow), Crispus (curly-haired), Crassus (fat) ,Cunctator (procastinator), Curvus (stooping), Imperious (domineering), Laterensis (from the hill side), Lentulus (slow), Lepidus (charming), Paullus (small), Postumus (born after the father's death), Pictor (painter), Rufus (ginger-haired), Severus (strict), Scaevola (left-handed), Superbus (haughty), Varus (bow-legged).
