The first reason the Roman Empire had a better…

superstitious the Roman society was from the onset. This is seen when Remus and Romulus consulted the tutelary deities by means of augury to know who was to give his name to the city they founded (Kirschenbaum, 1996); and this is also seen in the latter stories i.e. the defeat at Lake Trasimenus is also linked to some bad omens (ibid.).

Thus, this makes Caesar a dictator and not a reformer. Julius Caesar was an ambitious dictator that whatever he wanted and didn’t listen to what others had to say to him. Caesar only did things for his own good and not for the good of Rome and the Roman people. Caesar also started a civil war for the selfish reason of destroying the republic because of personal reasons. He also wouldn’t tell people certain things just so that he wouldn’t seem weak and seem more glorious. When he was given…

Shakespearean Criticism.) Not only is the play important but historians and movie producers/ playwrights (Caesar Must Die) alike care about the life that Caesar…
