Augustus "Gus" McCrae

During the Classical Era, different attitudes were generated towards technological innovations within the societies of the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire. Although the Hans and the Romans believe that technology is a great benefit to society, the Hans view the use of technology as beneficial to the common people while the Romans saw technology as an aspect of society that is intertwined with peasantry and vulgarness, but it is useful for comparing greatness among other empires in the world. An…

After the death of Caesar wars broke out between Octavius, Mark Antony, Cassius and Brutus. Brutus wins the first battle, and then he loses the second battle. Brutus did not want to be captured so he walked into a sword while one of his soldiers was holding it and killed himself. Since Brutus’ death, there was a reason why he did what he did to kill himself. The reason was because of the love he had for Rome. He loved Rome so much that he killed the king then himself. When Mark Antony finds…

He also cleverly appeals to Brutus’ ego and sense of importance. Brutus’ sense of pride allows Brutus to overlook and justify the assassination of his mentor, friend, leader and fellow Roman. He also justifies actions with the idea of Caesars possible betrayal of Rome, the Roman government and the Roman citizens. Brutus clearly states that he has ‘no personal cause to spurn him [Caesar]’, that Caesar has done nothing to Brutus to give him reason to kill him, but it is more of a general concern.…

Nicholas experienced despite being raised in a palace a happy upbringing in the Romanov household. Educated by several tutors, Nicholas studied languages, history, sciences, horsemanship, shooting, and dancing. What he was not schooled in, unfortunately for Russia, was how to function as a monarch. Czar Alexander III, healthy and robust at six-foot-four, planned to rule for decades. At the age of nineteen, Nicholas joined an exclusive regiment of the Russian Army and also served in the horse…

A roman tribune, also known as a Roman Tribunus in Latin, is elected as a chief officer chosen by the people to protect them from any oppression from the patricians. Roman Tribunes were six of the most senior in the legions. These Roman soldiers were usually ranked above the centurions. In modern times, these roman soldiers are just about the equivalent to law enforcements in our time, and they protected the citizens from oppression. There were three ranks; Tribune, Tribunus Cohortis, and…

Panicking Seems Like a Good Answer “Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar.” (pg 863). In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Caesar took over the triumvirate and became a single ruler of all of Rome. He then started to turn into a tyrant, causing the Conspirators group to be created. This group was formed so Caesar could be killed. They then strategically planned a court case to occur, and everyone would be around Caesar at the same time, allowing them to have an opportunity to stab him. Once this…

Road signs direct us where to go to reach our destination, whether it be to keep going straight or turn, and which areas to avoid because of a construction or accident. When a person ignores the signs, it can both figuratively and literally often lead them to the wrong destination. People frequently see what they want to see, rather than the reality and truth of a situation. Disregarding major signs that one sees or brushing them off can certainly result in a tragic end. In the play Julius…

During much of its early history, Rome was a republic. The main feature of the Roman Republic was the fact that its officials were elected by vote of the people. After being ruled by Etruscan kings for decades, the Romans disliked monarchies and decided to give more power to the people. Patricians, or wealthy landowners, voted on two consuls and one praetor to run government affairs. The Roman Senate, composed of roughly three hundred patricians, started out as a group of advisers to government…
