Roman Empire

Sulla confiscated Julius Caesar's property, stripped him of his inheritance, his priesthood and his wife's dowry and ordered him to divorce his wife Cornelia. Caesar refused and went into hiding.

He did not get arrested, in the play by William Shakespeare. Also, in reality, he was never arrested. In fact, in order to prevent getting arrested he started a civil war.

Cassius recalls a windy day when he and Caesar stood on the banks of the Tiber River, and Caesar dared him to swim to adistant point. They raced through the water, but Caesar became weak and asked Cassius to save him. Cassius had to drag him from the water. Cassius also recounts an episode when Caesar had a fever in Spain and experienced a seizure. Cassius marvels to think that a man with such a feeble constitution should now stand at the head of the civilized world. Cassius's purpose is to convince Brutus to side against Caesar by how can a weak man have so much power.

First of all, bear in mind that the Romans did not choose their emperors-- it was not an elected office. Ideally, an emperor would name someone as his heir in his will and that person would become the new emperor once the old one died (or was killed). However in reality, many emperors did not have valid wills or were assassinated. In cases such a these, the man who had the strongest backing would take the throne. The senate would give its rubber stamp approval and Rome would have a new emperor--at least until the next round of intrigue.

Since aqueduct is a noun meaning water pipe, you would use it as any other noun. Such as: "The aqueduct is clogged and the water only trickles through." or "The Roman aqueduct is still in use for irrigation".

Anything could be whispered in the ear of a victorious Roman emperor if someone could get close enough to him. However if you mean a victorious Roman general (he could also be an emperor) during his triumph, a slave was supposed to hold a crown over the man's head and whisper "remember you are only a man". This was because the Roman triumph was a very serious, sacred occasion with the triumphing general being on a par with the god Jupiter for that day.

Yes, it was one of the factors that contributed to the decline of the republic. Along with the acquisition of new territories came new issues that needed addressing. Some of these issues were trade, citizenship, law and defense. Many voting members of the senate in Rome, ignored these concerns and insisted that the government be run the way it had always been run. This attitude split the senate and ultimately led to the downfall of senatorial power and the demise of the republic.

Yes, the Romans built many amphitheatres (arenas). At least 230 of them have been found in the areas which were covered by the Roman Empire. Not all of them are still standing, for many there are just ruins left. 94 of them are in Italy, 35 in France, 34 in Tunisia, 15 in England, 10 in Spain, 5 in Algeria, Bulgaria and Switzerland, ,4 in Libya and in Wales 3 in Austria, Croatia Germany,Israel, Portugal, Romania, and Turkey, 2 in Cyprus, Hungary, Scotland and Syria, and 1 in Albania, Greece , Holland, Lebanon, Morocco and Serbia.

The city of Rome had two amphitheatres. Besides the Colosseum there was the Amphitheatrum Castrense. The second most famous standing Roman amphitheatre is the Arena of Verona, where they hold concerts and opera performances. Other amphitheatres which are still quite intact are in Pula (Croatia), Arles, Frejus, and Nimes (France), Capua (Italy), Tarragona (Spain), El Djem and Oudna (Tunisia).

Emperors competed with their predecessors to build the grandest forums In addition, there was a need for multiple fora to serve the Roman population. Remember that a forum was basically a marketplace-- the ancient version of a shopping mall. With Rome's millions of people, there was a need for many fora to provide goods and service.

Most plays performed in the Roman era were of Greek descent and were considered to be the more cultured type of entertainment.

Most Roman plays that were performed were of a more lewd nature and often referred to political situations of the time.

Romans enineers built roads, bridges, aqueducts, sewers, fortifications and ports.

They could have been from Gaul or from any other part of the empire for that matter. The Secutores were the ones that were paired against the Retinarii and they wore a special helmet that was closely fitted around the head and face so as to protect from an attack by a trident or net.
