    Stevens, 2003), Caesar was able to exercise significant political control over Rome. The view that it was, “simpler to follow the blast of a trumpet than the swirl of contradictory obligations that had always characterized civilian life,” (Holland T, 2003) made up the framework of Caesar’s ability to gain power. His rise to dictatorship threatened the system which the Republic survived on, specifically the strict set of checks and balances that disabled any possibility for a sole individual to gain absolute power. His ability to dominate the Senate, magistrate and the people of Rome, threatened the Senate in particular, stated in the…

    Julius Caesar is upheld as one of the most influential politicians of European history. Caesar was truly influential for every man and women of Rome. Caesar was successful in the battle field and had a large group of dedicated followers, but more importantly Caesar caused some anger and some extreme hatred towards himself.

Romans prided themselves on their involvement in their government with their right to vote.…

    Although Gaius Julius Caesar was a brilliant man who did many things to benefit the people of Rome, the conspirators were completely justified in the decision to assassinate him. Towards the end of his life and political career, Caesar became a tyrannical and dictatorial man who violated widely accepted values of being a just ruler. He seemed to desire copious amounts of power which could not be granted by following the rules. An example of this would be the fact that he appointed himself dictator for life. He even violated Plato’s values of being a fair ruler (wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice), which were widely accepted views even in the Late Republic.…

During his lunacy, he was in the moment of trying to kill an animal as a sacrifice to the gods, and instead struck a priest, killing him instantly… this was historically recorded as purposeless and simply out of cruelty. He spend so much money frugally and frivolously on his own personal luxuries that he eliminated the entire Roman Empire’s treasury. To make up for this, he began blackmailing leading roman families so that he could heavily charge them and steal their money and assets.…

    Throughout history, questions have arisen about when it is right to kill someone or not. There are usually two sides to this controversy: it is never right to kill someone, or it is better to kill one person and save thousands of lives than to risk the death of thousands of people. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, it can be argued that Caesar truly did deserve to die for various reasons. In Julius Caesar, Caesar deserved his fate because he had many physical weaknesses that held him back, he was too power-hungry and egotistical, and he would have ultimately hurt Rome more than helped it.…

    Julius Caesar manipulated and bribed his way to gaining political power, specifically the consul of Rome by 59 BC, by becoming popular among the people. He was named governor of Gaul and became a threat to the Senate and Pompey who had already held power in Rome. Caesar became an enemy of the state and made an act of war by deciding to cross the Rubicon river confronting Pompey, a turning point that was the start of a civil war. The sources Suetonius’ “The Deified Julius Caesar” in Lives of the Caesars, Plutarch’s “Caesar” in Roman Lives, and Julius Caesar’s The Civil War each tell of Julius Caesar’s Civil War describing his political manipulation and rise to power involving the famous crossing of the Rubicon.…
