Sextus Julius Frontinus

The Roman Republic is traditionally dated from 509 BC to 27 BC, becoming established with the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom and was destroyed with the development of the Roman Empire. When considering the fall of the Roman Republic, it is clear that the reorganisation of the army, particularly through the actions of Marius, Sulla and Caesar, contributed greatly to the disempowerment of the Senate and therefore the Republic. Through the undoubtedly instrumental Marian reforms, the Roman social…

manner. This is also seen with Clodius when he got Pompey and Gabinius “physically assaulted…and the consul’s faces smashed,” (142.) Over something as simple as Eastern policies that they did not agree on. Violence is also used with the killing of Julius Caesar who the senate felt was getting too powerful, even though they gave him all the power he wanted. With the use of violence anyone can gain supreme power, as seen with Octavian, and have no need for something as silly as a republic where…

Although people generally believe they are persuaded by ideas that they have discovered, William Shakespeare’s historic tragedy, Julius Caesar illustrates that an individual’s thoughts are inevitably shaped by external factors. Persuasion and suggestion are rhetorical skills that play central roles in Julius Caesar, but they also demonstrates how individuals bend towards words they want to hear when faced with a difficult situation. The play cautions the dangers and powers of rhetoric as a tool…

Act four, scene two of Julius Caesar begins with an argument between Cassius and Brutus. This argument leads into scene three as well. Cassius is upset with Brutus for punishing Lucius by putting him in jail. Lucius had been taking bribes. Wealthy citizens of Rome would pay Lucius in return they would get a government position. Cassius is upset, because Lucius was working for Cassius. Cassius was getting all the money that the citizens were paying Lucius. Basically, Lucius was doing Cassius’…

Scene 2-3 of Julius Caesar. Most of the action falls somewhere around these scenes, so the point of this paper is too: explain what occurred in Act IV, Scenes 2-3 of Julius Caesar, the power of both teams, problems that occur within each team, and who will most likely rise or fall. After the death of Caesar,…

Throughout these two scenes a lot of stuff happens. Act 4 scene 2 starts off at a place at a camp near Sardis (Shakespeare). This is where Brutus, Lucillius, Lucius, and the Soldiers all come together to meet Titinius and Pindarus. Brutus has a talk with them about a disagreement he has with Cassius. Brutus goes to Lucillius and tells him that Cassius is starting to act fake towards him, and that he does not trust and believe in him like he used to (LitCharts). Then Cassius arrives…

They could see that Caesar was filled with pride, and that he was using fear to control the people of Rome. He committed murder to attain his place as their leader and was not a man to be trusted. They both feared that Julius Caesar would impose a one man rule; that would make him the most powerful man in Rome. If Marullus and Flavius were roman tribunes then I would think it would be their job to protect the Roman people from Caesar, and question his motives. Flavius…

Sometimes, other people of high rank were also called tribunes. For example, a Tribune of the Treasury was thought to be a tax collector (Wikipedia.org). Marullus and Flavius were Roman tribunes who distrusted and disliked Julius Caesar in the Shakespeare play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Their distrust of Caesar stems from the death of Pompey. Pompey was a leader in Rome who was killed by Caesar, supposedly because of Caesar’s lust for power. According to Marullus, Pompey was a very…

There is a debate on whether Brutus was a patriot or a betrayer. Although, this is an opinionated question, your answer comes from an opinion also. I found my opinion within his actions. His actions speak louder than words, therefore I was able to hear him loud and clear. I followed and gathered why he did what he did, and in return, determined whether I agreed or not. I did not agree, Brutus was a betrayer. Brutus was a betrayer and his bad actions outweighed his good ones. Yes, some may…
