I will be addressing a few main points I found interesting about Caesar’s life and the difference between how he was seen by the senate and how the citizens…

Although Julius Caesar may have been a power hungry dictator, some of the things he did in his days were beneficial to the world. For example, Caesar abolished the roman republic, he created the calendar we know today, and he never lost a war. “Veni, vidi, vici.” A famous quote by Julius Caesar it means “I came, I saw, I conquered” people may miss take this quote to be about him being a power hungry dictator, however the way I view it is he came to a place with a corrupted government, and when…

Julius Caesar was the first dictator for life and had shaped Rome for ever. Julius Caesar was born on either 12th or 13th of July in 100 BC in Rome to a well known but awfully poor family. Caesar’s life started at 16 when his father, Gaius, died, as a result Julius grew closer to his mother Aurelia.

parallels with narcissism and Julius Caesar had both in spades. In ‘Assassination of Julius Caesar’ it states, “Caesar continued to consolidate his power and in February 44 BC, he declared himself dictator for life”(Paragraph 3).

rise of the Roman Empire. He was a military genius who conquered much of Central Europe which led to Rome’s increase in size and power. His self-proclaimed dictatorship impacted Rome greatly by lowering the unemployment rate and the introducing the Julian Calendar that was used well into the 1900s (Tøndering).
