The conspirators underestimated Antony yet again, and it has led to the defeat of Cassius’ army. In conclusion, had the conspirators killed Antony along with Caesar, the outcome of the tyrannicide would have not been the defeat and death of the conspirators. Antony cleverly used his speech at Caesar’s funeral to increase support for his side. He also weakened the conspirator’s support and then defeated them at the Battle of Phillipi.

He has to choose between his loyalty to the Roman Republic and his loyalty to his friend. Seems like he could be heading toward tyrant status. Brutus says he killed Caesar because he loved Rome more than he loved Caesar. Based on examples in The Tragedy of Julius

Is it justified to kill someone because they have gained too much power and are going to use it for the worse? Brutus has a very bad circumstance on his hands, he can kill Caesar and possibly be executed for his actions or he can let Caesar become king and watch Rome fall. There are many reasons why Brutus should and should not join the conspiracy. Brutus says, “I know no personal reason to spurn at him But for the general.” (II,i,11).

One of the most famous of these individuals was the general Julius Caesar. Born of a powerful noble family, the young general was the first to change the shift of the conquered lands for Rome. Caesar shifted northward, away from the mediterranean towards Gaul (modern day France) and brought victory to Rome.

These actions by the general completely disregarding the law, created by the republic, that stated that generals would not lead troops within Italy proper.

The Roman Empire in the second century is an historical period that is just captivating. As an action fanatic, it’s exhilarating to watch the wars and long battles to conquer a massive empire. Thus, I have chosen Gladiator (2000) for this film review. In addition, this movie is my ultimate favorite of all time. When I first watched Gladiator, I was in awe of the story.

Rome went on to conquer and settle Gaul, the Celts and traveled as far as the British Isles. Polybius states that many had mixed ideas of Rome, “[…] thus securing the supremacy for their own country---were the actions of sensible and far-sighted men. Others contradicted this, and asserted that the Romans had no such policy in view when they obtained their supremacy; and that they had gradually and insensibly become perverted to the same ambition for power, which had once characterized the Athenians and Lacedaemonians; and though they had advanced more slowly than these last, that they would from all appearances yet arrive at the same consummation.” Rome left an indelible mark upon the world that is still felt and heard today. Rome after the Punic Wars was very different than the Rome before the long

I. 2. 22). Would you want anyone to destroy what your ancestors created, 500 years ago? Especially when the Republic was created to stop tyranny and also to give the people more say in their government. For that reason if anyone were to end the Republic it should not be someone who was arrogant, big headed, egotistic and greedy for power. Rather Brutus who is so patriotic that he would die for his country.

He was the figure of fun; he was always clumsy and awkward. Britain had resisted Roman rule for over a century, but was conquered by Claudius, who created client kingdoms to protect the frontier. He had succeeded where Caesar had failed. Although not the preferred choice of the Senate, Claudius proved to be an efficient emperor. His first act was to execute Cassius Chaerea and his co-conspirators, the assassins of Caligula.

The Celts: The People Who Came Out Of Darkness 'The Celts: The People Who Came Out of the Darkness ' the author Gerhard Herm tells an epic story of the Celts who attacked Rome and Greece for the possession of wealth, power and diversity.

The Celts later extended their influence to the Atlantic and the Middle East. In these regions, they brought a unique mythology and culture.

What we think about Brutus being Noble... It came to terms knowing to think that Brutus might’ve done the right thing because, although Caesar was trying to bring the city of Rome down and someone had to stop him. For this, we know that Brutus was the hero of Rome and then his life soon ended in the heat of battle. Brutus and the conspirators were trying to make Rome a great city again, but this time under Brutus’s rule, But It ended badly.

Before gaining an understanding towards the "Siege of Alesia", we must recognize the leader which led the legions during the Gallic Wars, named Gauis Julius Caesar. Gauis Julius Caesar was born on the 13th of July, 100 BC. Julius Caesar was a Roman politician and general who played a vital role in the events of destroying the idea of a Roman republic resulting with the rise of the Roman Empire. During his early life, Caesar was born to one of Rome's leading families, which came from a senatorial class. Rome was divided into two broad classes, the Patricians, which were a small group of aristocratic families having relations to the upper class societal level, and the Plebeians, which represented everybody else resembling the lower class societal

“If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar’s to him I say that Brutus’ love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer, not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” Although many people in Rome were happy that Caesar had died, Brutus still loved Caesar and promised to himself that their friendship will never die. Another reason why Brutus was not right to join the conspiracy is because Cassius had convinced Brutus that Caesar was going to make himself a monarch and turned him against his own friend by manipulating him and making Brutus the one to kill Caesar. Brutus’ flaws that he has as a character got the best of him and made it easy for Cassius to use him for the killing of Caesar.

Although the influence that the power of free will possesses can immensely affect the fate of an individual, fate can also be predestined. Throughout the play, characters demonstrate their own views on the effect of free will through their actions, thoughts, and words. In an attempt to change the fate of the Roman Empire, the conspiracy chooses to utilize their free will by murdering the widely beloved leader of Rome. However, due to the outcome of the play, it can be questioned if their costly actions were all in vain. Incidents that are decided by free will and others that are already underway are prominent within The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, and greatly affect the denouement of the play.
