The fear of Caesar becoming king continued when someone placed a diadem on the statue of Caesar on the Rostra. The tribunes, Gaius Epidius Marcellus and Lucius Caesetius Flavius, removed the diadem. Not long after the incident with the diadem, the same two tribunes had citizens arrested after they called out the title ‘Rex’ to Caesar as he passed by on the streets of Rome. Now seeing his supporters threatened, Caesar acted harshly. He ordered those arrested to be released, and instead took the tribunes before the Senate and had them stripped of their positions. Caesar had originally used the sanctity of the Tribunes as one reason for the start of the civil war, but now revoked their power for his own gain.\nAt the coming festival of the Lupercalia, the biggest test of the Roman people for their willingness to accept Caesar as King was to take place. On February 15, 44 BC, Caesar sat upon his gilded chair on the Rostra, wearing his purple robe, red shoes and a golden laurel and armed with the title of Dictator Perpetuus. The race around the pomerium was a tradition of the festival, and Mark Antony ran into the forum and was raised to the Rostra by the priests attending the event. Antony produced a diadem and attempted to place it on Caesar’s head, saying "the people offer this (the title of king) to you through me." There was, however, little support from the crowd and Caesar quickly refused being sure that the diadem didn’t touch his head. The crowd roared with approval, but Antony, undeterred attempted to place it on Caesar’s head again. Still there was no voice of support from the crowd and Caesar rose from his chair and refused Antony again, saying, "I will not be king of Rome. Jupiter alone is King of the Romans." The crowd wildly endorsed Caesar’s actions.\nAll the while Caesar was still planning a campaign into Dacia and then Parthia. The Parthian campaign stood to bring back considerable wealth to Rome, along with the potential return of the standards that Crassus had lost over nine years earlier. An ancient legend has told that Parthia could only be conquered by a king, so Caesar was authorized by the Senate to wear a crown anywhere in the empire, save Italy. Caesar planned to leave in April 44 BC, and the secret opposition that was steadily building had to act fast. Made up mostly of men that Caesar had pardoned already, they knew their only chance to rid Rome of Caesar was to prevent him ever leaving for Parthia.\nThe Roman Senate traditionally met in the Curia Hostilia, which had been recently repaired from the fires that destroyed it years before, but the Senate had abandoned it for the new house under construction. Thus Caesar summoned the Senate to meet in the Theatrum Pompeium (built by Pompey) on the Ides of March (March 15), 44 BC. A few days before, a soothsayer had said to Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March." As the Senate convened, Caesar was attacked and stabbed to death by a group of senators who called themselves the Liberatores ("Liberators"); they justified their action on the grounds that they committed tyrannicide, not murder, and were preserving the Republic from Caesar's alleged monarchical ambitions. Among the assassins who locked themselves in the Temple of Jupiter were Gaius Trebonius, Decimus Junius Brutus, Marcus Junius Brutus, and Gaius Cassius Longinus; Caesar had personally pardoned most of his murderers or personally advanced their careers. Marcus Brutus was a distant cousin of Caesar and named as one of his testamentary heirs. There is also speculation that Marcus Brutus was an illegitimate child of Caesar's, since he had an affair with Servilia Caepionis, Brutus' mother; however, Caesar was 15 years old at the time Brutus was born. Caesar sustained 23 (as much as 35 by some accounts) stab wounds, which ranged from superficial to mortal, and ironically fell at the feet of a statue of his friend turned rival, Pompey the Great.

Pompey the Great (106-48 BC), Roman general and statesman, the erstwhile ally and son-in-law of Julius Caesar, but later his arch-rival for power. \nPompey was born Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus in Rome on September 29, 106 BC, into a senatorial family; his father, Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo, was consul in 89 BC. At the age of 17 Pompey fought, along with his father, on the side of Lucius Cornelius Sulla against the faction of Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Cinna. In 84 BC he raised three legions and defeated the Marian party, and he was later sent to destroy the remnants of the Marian faction in Africa and Sicily. On his triumphant return to Rome he was honored with the title Magnus, or the Great. Pompey subsequently defeated the followers of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, a one-time Sulla partisan, whom he drove out of Italy, and destroyed the Marian party in Spain (76-71 BC). Returning to Italy, Pompey brought an end to the Servile War instigated by the slave Spartacus. He was now the idol of the people and was elected consul for the year 70 BC, serving with Marcus Licinius Crassus. \nIn 67-66 BC, Pompey cleared the Mediterranean Sea of pirates and was subsequently given control of the provinces in the east and put in charge of the war against Mithridates VI of Pontus. Between 65 and 62 BC, Pompey conquered not only Mithridates but also Tigranes the Great, king of Armenia, and Antiochus XIII of Syria, annexing the territory of the latter to the Roman dominions. He also subdued the Jews and captured Jerusalem. On his return to Italy he disbanded his army and in 61 BC entered Rome in triumph for the third time. After his return he was anxious that his acts in Asia should be ratified by the Senate and certain lands be apportioned among his veterans. The Senate, however, declined to accede to his wishes, and Pompey, turning against the aristocratic party, now formed a close alliance with Julius Caesar, and the two men, together with Crassus, formed in 60 BC the coalition commonly called the First Triumvirate. Caesar's daughter Julia was given in marriage to Pompey, and the following year Caesar repaired to Gaul, and there for nine years carried on a career of conquest while Pompey spent his time at Rome. \nJealousies, however, arose between the two leaders. Julia died in 54 BC, and Crassus was slain in Syria the following year. Pompey then returned to the aristocratic party, whose members desired to check Caesar's ambitions and deprive him of his command. Caesar consented to the order to lay down his office and return to Rome, provided that Pompey, who had an army near Rome, would do the same. The Senate insisted on an unconditional resignation, but Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, thus defying the Senate and its armies, which were under Pompey's command. Pompey withdrew his forces to Brundisium (now Brindisi) and then to Greece. Caesar meanwhile made himself master of Italy and defeated a strong army in Spain commanded by Pompey's legates and then crossed the Adriatic to attack Pompey. The latter, who had gathered a strong army, was victorious in the opening encounters, but was defeated at Pharsalus in 48 BC. He escaped to Egypt, where he was murdered on September 28, 48 BC.

Funny, there was this one guy 2,000 years ago who said love everyone, don't judge, and follow the Golden Rule. It's a shame that "leaders" don't listen to him anymore.

I believe the "ancients" that the above is refering to are the Greeks.  The Romans, more specifically Julius Cesar, instigated using the calander we use today, but borrowed the names of the moon phases from the Greeks when they conquered them.

"When Brutus joined the conspiracy against Caesar, he did it solely for the good of Rome. Unlike all the other men, Brutus justified his motive for murder: Brutus feared that Caesar would alter his attitude when he was crowned emperor: "He would be crown'd/ How that might change his nature..." (II,i,12-13). Brutus was afraid of the possibility of a negative change in Caesar that could doom Rome. \n"\n\nEdit: No fair! He changed his answer!

"...since ancient times, the Rubicon River had marked the northernmost boundary of Rome proper. Across the boundary a Roman general could not go while at the head of his army. For such a man to lead his troops in battle gear into the heart of Rome was against one of the oldest laws on the Roman law books. It was treason."\n\nThus, Caesar was going south.

That his family was once the ruler of Rome, but Julius had taken away his throne.  Also he believes more strongly in rights than in freedome.  \n\nHow valid?  up to you I guess.  I would say that it wasn't that valid in that he betrayed a friend that trusted him and he destroyed the meaning of friendship. Yet he still did it for the people so that all would have the natural rights demanded of them.

Well, he started a war between his country and Marc Antony, which eventually led to Marc Antony's and Cleopatras death by suicide. He was also beloved by his people, and although he was Julius Caesers nephew, Julius Caeser regarded him as a son, and adopted him.

If you understand that the word "rhetoric" means to use language effectively and persuasively, you will understand that both Brutus and Antony were trying to persuade the crowd.  In Brutus's case, he was trying to make the crowd understand that the death of Caesar was necessary for the general good of Rome (he would abuse his power).  Antony, on the other hand, was trying to make the crowd understand that Caesar was a great leader and the actions of the conspirators was unjustified.  Further, Antony's other objective was to have the crowd turn on Brutus.

Since this is based on Shakespear's "Julius Caesar," I am guessing, talk about the development on how Brutus changed from trusting Caesar to eventually stabbing him in the back. It would be important to talk about Cassius in the sense that he persuaded Brutus slowly but successfully. Go over the importance of the relationship between Brutus, Cassius, and Caesar and how they changed throughout the play.\n\nThat's what I get from it at least.

Et tu' Brute? You can always start off with that and lead in to whatever you're going to talk about on him. What is your subject besides him. are you going to speak about his rule? His rise to power? The play by Shakespeare?\n\nHere's another lead-in. \n\nGeneral, polotician, god? Only one man in history could be all three. He rose to the power of a king in a republic, without violence to secure his rule. He then transformed that republic into an empire, one of the greatest empire's known to man.

Caligula, that guy had style.  Apointed his horse to snate.  Decided he needed more money for his government so he conscripted all the senators wives and put them in a state run brothel.  During the gladiatorial games he use to have fans thrown into the arena to fight to the death.\n\nThat is just a few of the things he did.  He definately put the rant in tyrant.

Cleopatra was Caesar's lover. When Caesar was murdered, he was succeeded by a triumvirate of which Mark Anthony was a part of. They also became lovers. \n\nYou can check out Robert Greene's The Art of Seduction for more on their relationship.
