Pompey

the early 60s BC, he made his success in a political and military career. "Rising fast, he campaigned successfully for the consulship in 60 B.C and struck a deal with two of Rome's leading figures, Pompey the Great and Crassus." Together they controlled Rome throughout the 50s B.C before Caesar and Pompey went to war after Crassus died. He later devoted his time to the conquest of Gaul; he later became governor of Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul Italy. Caesar fought in a lot of wars in his time…

again we see where Caesar would pick up his most defining characteristic, his skill at war. At this time in Rome, the Sertorian War, an uprising of the provincial governor Quintus Sertorius, a supporter of Gaius Marius, the war would be won by Pompey after nearly a decade of fighting. This uprising would serve to increase political tensions between the Senate and Sulla. Caesar, after his post in Cilicia, chose to stay on the island of Rhodes for the winter, but the ship that was carrying…

jealous of all the military success Julius Caesar was gaining. They soon found themselves in a civil war and Caesar won that war and Pompey fled to Egypt. While in Egypt He was assassinated by someone who wanted to please Julius Caesar. The third Martin 3 and final person is very well known. His name is Julius Caesar. He was born between 100 and 102 B.C. Like Pompey the people loved Caesar. They saw him as a god who could solve any of their problems. He had Rome looking great ,but with all great…

Being appointed consul in 59 BC, together with Pompey and Crassus, they formed what would be known as the triumvirate which meant that power in Rome was solely in the hands of these 3 individuals. Caesar launched an expedition on Gaul in 58 BC, an intense battle that would last for 7 years, during which relations between the 3 leaders strained and Pompey joined sides with the Optimate faction in order to seek favour from the nobles. After conquering…

Though Caesar had appeared in Greece sooner than expected. Pompey amassed an army nearly twice as large as Caesar’s, but Pompey was defeated and fled to Egypt where Pompey was assassinated on arrival. Caesar followed Pompey to find him dead. Caesar needed Egypt's gold in large sums to carry on the civil war. He took over Egypt and put Cleopatra on the throne. Caesar would go on to more campaigns…

borders. A few select leaders partially paused the Roman Republic decline, but the internal damage was already too severe that a fall would be inevitable. The start of the fall began around after Sulla retired in 81 BC, Crassus and Pompey both fought for the consulship. Pompey then proceeded to make a name for himself in fighting…

Julius Caesar’s Liberality Machiavelli uses the example of Julius Caesar in his chapter concerning liberality and meanness. In this chapter, Machiavelli focuses on how a prince should regulate his expenses and whether it is better for a prince to be liberal or mean with his money, or in other words, how generous or ungenerous a prince is which his money. Machiavelli uses the example of Caesar so as to counter an opposing point one might bring up. He uses Caesar as an example of what a prince…

would affect the play. Ultimately for Caesar to be crowned he has to be chosen by the people. Therefore, if the tribune is viewed as a more suitable candidate the people will be dissatisfied with Ceaser. Malvious and Flavius despise Caesar for killing Pompey, and this anger can make them seeking the throne. Brutus can turn on his close friend Caesar as I said before this will ultimately help in aiding his character to cause conflict. In my opinion I ultimately believe that Brutus will turn on…

“using fear” is that’s all Caesar does is use fear or threat people to do what he wants them to do. He is also saying is that when Pompey was in charge he wouldn’t use fear or threat his people he would come to a calm conclusion with them. I think that Marullus and Flavius are worried about Caesar is because they think that he is going to runin everything that Pompey once created. Like they think that he is going to change everything and have it go his way. By like not considering the…

Their actions show Pompey was actually more well-liked by the government than Caesar because they didn’t do this to Pomepys statue but they did to Caesars (enotes.com). Marvillus and Flavius actions were disrespectful in the eyes of Caesar. Caesar had them beheaded for what they did (Shakespeare 77). This scared the people and they wondered if that will happen to them. This also confused them because they don’t truly know if Caesar is good or bad. He may have killed Pompey and…
