Julius Caesar: The victorious leader of Rome, it is the fear that he may become King and revoke the privileges of men like Cassius that leads to his death at the hands of Cassius, Brutus and their fellow conspirators. The threat that Caesar was moving away from the ideals of the Roman republic towards an Empire ruled directly by himself is the chief reason so many senators, aristocrats and even Caesar's friend Brutus, conspired to kill him. Introduced early in the play as a great (and arguably arrogant) leader who fears nothing, Caesar is warned by Artemidorus, The Soothsayer and wife (Calphurnia) alike not to go to the Senate on the "ides of March" the very day he is assassinated.

I appreciate history from all historical periods but I have always been especially interested in ancient Mediterranean cultures. Although I am fascinated by ancient Egypt, I became totally entranced by ancient Rome after reading the "Masters of Rome" series of novels by Colleen McCullough and in particular the life of Julius Caesar. McCullough's novels, " The First Man In Rome ", " The Grass Crown ", " Fortune's Favorites ", " Caesar's Women ", and " Caesar ", made this complex personality come to life. He was not the cold and calculating tyrannical conqueror often depicted by various historians apparently with their own political axes to grind. He was a tender lover, a skilled orator and advocate, a talented poet and historian, a consumate politician, and a man with integrity as well as cunning.and military genius. Because of my admiration for him, I decided to use my skills as a computer systems designer to resurrect Caesar by way of an artificial intelligence program developed by Artificial-Life, Inc

Entries Publication Data Maps Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to Military History Caesar, Julius b.c. Roman Statesman and General Gaius Julius Caesar, one of the world's greatest military leaders, was born into a senatorial, patrician family and was the nephew of another famous Roman general, Marius. After the death of Marius and the rise of Sulla, Caesar's life was for a time in jeopardy, but in the early 60s b.c. he launched his own successful political and military career. Rising rapidly, 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 the three of them became known as the First Triumvirate and controlled Rome throughout the 50s b.c. , until Caesar and Pompey, after Crassus's death, went to war against one another in 49 b.c. During the heyday of the First Triumvirate, Caesar devoted his energies to the conquest of Gaul (modern France). After serving as consul in 59 b.c. , Caesar became governor of Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul (northern Italy and southern France, respectively). In 58, when the Helvetii in Switzerland attempted to migrate into central Gaul, Caesar decided that they would be a threat to the Roman province, and in a great battle he stopped their advance and sent them back into their homeland. In the meantime he had become friendly with the chieftains of central Gaul, and they urged him to protect them against a German invader from across the Rhine, Ariovistus. So, in the summer of 58, after defeating the Helvetians, Caesar marched against the Germans and drove them out of Gaul.

On overview of all articles can be found here Youth Early career Caesar's consulship The conquest of Gaul The reconquest of Gaul The Civil Wars Domestic policy Constitutional problems Caesar's inheritance Assessment Caesar's writings Sources Manuscript of De bello Gallico (Amsterdam) Caesar's writings Writing in the first quarter of the second century CE, the Roman author Suetonius still knew many of Caesar 's publications, such as a book On analogy and a collection of speeches In reply to Cato . A poem The voyage described Caesar's journey from Rome to Spain, when he was governor of Andalusia. These works are unknown to us, because the medieval monks who copied all the ancient manuscripts considered them unimportant. In Suetonius' days, other publications were already lost: a tragedy Oedipus , a collection of apophtegms and a poem or speech In praise of Hercules It is interesting to note that both Oedipus and Hercules were legendary heroes who suffered seriously for crimes they committed unwillingly. If one were to criticize the gods, these were well chosen subjects. It is possible that Caesar was very skeptical about religion; although he was the high priest of the Roman state cult, he does nowhere betray religious sentiments.

Fig.1: Area of Deal Beach where Caesar's ships probably landed ( photo: Athena Review Caesar, the historian. In 58 BC, Julius Caesar became governor and military commander of the Roman province of Gaul, which included modern France, Belgium, and portions of Switzerland, Holland, and Germany west of the Rhine. For the next eight years, Caesar led military campaigns involving both the Roman legions and tribes in Gaul who were often competing among themselves. The story has been preserved in Caesar's account, Commentaries on the Gallic Wars , originally published in 50 BC. In the first century BC, Britain was settled by Iron Age societies, many with long-term roots in Britain, and others closely tied to tribes of northern France (fig.2). Commerce was flourishing, populations were relatively large, and at least seven different British tribes had their own coinages. Tribes in southwest Britain and Wales controlled considerable mineral wealth in tin deposits and copper mines. For this period, Caesar is the only extant source providing first-hand descriptions of Britain. His observations, while confined to the southeast areas of Kent and the lower Thames, are thus essential to understanding those regions. While no doubt self-serving in a political sense when written, Caesar's account is nevertheless regarded as basically accurate and historically reliable both by earlier scholars such as C. Rice Holmes (1907), and by today's authorities including Sheppard Frere (1987).

A. McDevitte and W. S. Bohn Authorship information: Suetonius (Suet.Lives.Julius.56), in his biography of Julius Caesar states that the Gallic and Civil Wars were written by Caesar, and that the 8th book of the Gallic Wars was written by (Aulus) Hirtius. Suetonius also indicates that either Caesar's friend Oppius, or Hirtius likely wrote about the Alexandrian, African and Spanish wars, but that their authorship was not certain. Subject of the books: This is a detailed discription of the war campaigns of Julius Caesar, starting from the time that he was in charge of the Roman forces in France (Gaul). Caesar's writting style is that of a detailed factual report, prepared year by year, of the events. The parts not written by him attempt a similiar style, but are not as clean (See the notes of Hortius, at the start of the 8th book of the Gallic Wars). Caesar's writings present himself as a much more balanced and just leader than Suetonius or Plutarch indicate in their biographies of him. Also, the accounts of the army during the Spanish campaign show a more brutal side to his leadership.

113. Marcus Junius Brutus, 85-42 BC Detailed biography of the assassin of julius caesar. http://heraklia.fws1.com/contemporaries/brutus/

JULIUS CAESAR: THE LAST DICTATOR M ARCUS J UNIUS B RUTUS 85-42 BC This was the noblest Roman of them all: All the conspirators save only he Did that they did in envy of great Caesar; He only, in a general honest thought And common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world 'This was a man!' Shakespeare, Julius Caesar I shall be sorry to have incurred his displeasure but far sorrier to find that he is not the man I took him for...He is apt in his letters to me to take a brusque, arrogant, ungracious tone even when asking a favor." Cicero to Atticus [upon hearing Brutus was involved in loan-sharking in his province], Letters, 115 (VI, 1). Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has so influenced the Western mind in its conception of the relative characters of Caesar and his chief assassin, Brutus, that it is almost impossible to disentangle the biographical truth about either man from Shakespeare's soaring language. For dramatic purposes, Shakespeare's Caesar is portrayed as arrogantly ruthless, pompous, and eminently unlovable; his Brutus is, in complete contrast, sensitive, thoughtful, nobly torn between love for Caesar and duty to his country. Surely, the truth was not so dramatically satisfying or simple.

Home Books Articles Speaking Engagements ... Biography The Assassination of Julius Caesar A People's History of Ancient Rome The New Press, 2003 " Parenti . . . recreates the struggles of the late Republic with such scintillating storytelling and deeply examined historical insight." Publishers Weekly "Savagely entertaining ... history at its most provocative ... [a] lively, lucid tract." Kirkus Reviews "With laser sharp research and analysis, Michael Parenti burns away stale orthodoxy and distortion. What a remarkable people's history!" Mark Solomon, Professor of History Emeritus, Simmons College "A remarkable and accessible work of history and political analysis, with profound implications for the U.S. empire." Mumia Abu Jamal ******This book has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, Oct 2003****** M ost historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility. They regard Roman commoners as a parasitic mob, a rabble interested only in bread and circuses. They cast Caesar, who took up the popular cause, as a despot and demagogue, and treat his murder as the outcome of a personal feud or constitutional struggle, devoid of social content. In The Assassination of Julius Caesar , the distinguished author Michael Parenti subjects these assertions of "gentlemen historians" to a bracing critique, and presents us with a compelling story of popular resistance against entrenched power and wealth. Parenti shows that Caesar was only the last in a line of reformers, dating back across the better part of a century, who were murdered by opulent conservatives. Caesar's assassination set in motion a protracted civil war, the demise of a five-hundred-year Republic, and the emergence of an absolutist rule that would prevail over Western Europe for centuries to come.

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. February 29, 1996 Julius Caesar and Leap Days Photo Credit: Rune Rysstad Explanation: Today, February 29th , is a leap day - a relatively rare occurrence. Advised by Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes , Roman dictator Julius Caesar , pictured above in a self-decreed minted coin, created a calender system in 46 BC that contained one leap day every four years. The reason for adding leap days was that a year - defined by the time it takes the Earth to circle the Sun - does not actually take an exact integer number of days - defined by the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once. In fact, one year by these astronomical definitions is about 365.24219 days. If all calendar years contained 365 days, they would drift from the actual year by about 1 day every 4 years. Eventually July (named posthumously for Julius Caesar himself) would occur during the northern hemisphere winter! By making most years 365 days but every fourth year 366 days, the calendar year and the actual year remained more nearly in step. This "Julian" calender system was used until the year 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII added that leap days should not occur in years ending in "00" except if divisible by 400, providing a further fine tuning.

Royalty.nu World Royalty Europe Italy ... Rome > Caesar > Books About Caesar Search Julius Caesar Young Caesar If you don't know much about Roman history, it may surprise you to learn that Julius Caesar was not born royal and it is debatable whether he should be called an emperor. But he set the stage for the restoration of Rome's monarchy and founded a family that ruled the empire for nearly 100 years. He was born around 100 BC and named Gaius Julius Caesar after his father, a low-ranking Roman official. Young Caesar's mother, Aurelia, was the daughter of a former consul. The family was not extremely wealthy or powerful, but they were well-connected members of Rome's aristocracy, the patrician class. Caesar was proud of his ancestry, claiming to be descended from both the legendary Roman king Ancus Marcius and the goddess Venus. Nonetheless, his family was identified with the popular or democratic party; his aunt Julia married the "new man" Gaius Marius, who had risen from a humble background to become a prominent politician and general. When Caesar was 15 or 16, his father died. At that time Rome was engaged in a civil war, and Caesar made it clear which side he was on by marrying Cornelia, daughter of the popular leader Cinna. The marriage did not turn out to be a good career move for Caesar in the long run. Cinna was murdered and his enemy Sulla seized control of the government. Sulla ordered Caesar to divorce Cornelia, but Caesar refused and went into hiding to avoid arrest. Eventually Sulla was persuaded to pardon the rebellious young man, but he warned his followers that Caesar would be the ruin of the patrician party.
