    Realizado por Elena Martín Gordón (IES Doñana, ALMONTE) The Assassination of Julius Caesar 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was a great general and an important leader in ancient Rome. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world to the North Sea, and he also conducted the first Roman invasion of Britain. Caesar began a civil war in 49 BC, and after that he became the master of the Roman world. He was proclaimed "dictator for life”, and he had the absolute power over the empire. After assuming control of the government, he began important reforms of Roman society and government. The Romans even named a month after him, the month of July for Julius Caesar.

Cicero's own letters deal mostly with the anxiety which he was feeling as to his property at home, which was at the mercy of the Csesarians, and, in case of Pompey's defeat, would doubtless be seized by the victorious party, except such of it as was capable of being concealed or held in trust by his friends.

  • Julius Caesar
    Working Paper CEsA CSG 168/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS – JULIUS CAESAR Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Julius Caesar (JC) survived two civil wars: first, leaded by Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius; and second by himself and Pompeius Magnus. Until he was stabbed to death, at a senate session, in the Ides of March of 44 BC. JC has always been loved or hated, since he was alive and throughout History. He was a war hero, as many others. He was a patrician, among many. He was a roman Dictator, but not the only one. So what did he do exactly to get all this attention? Why did he stand out so much from the crowd? What did he represent? JC was a front-runner of his time, not a modern leader of the XXI century; and there are things not accepted today that were considered courageous or even extraordinary achievements back then. This text tries to explain why it’s important to focus on the man; on his life achievements before becoming the most powerful man in Rome; and why he stood out from every other man. Keywords Caesar, Politics, Military, Religion, Assassination. Sumário Júlio César (JC) sobreviveu a duas guerras civis: primeiro, lideradas por Cornélio Sula e Caio Mário; e depois por ele e Pompeius Magnus. Até ser esfaqueado numa sessão do senado nos Idos de Março de 44 AC. JC foi sempre amado ou odiado, quando ainda era vivo e ao longo da História. Ele foi um herói de guerra, como outros. Ele era um patrício, entre muitos. Ele foi um ditador romano, mas não o único.

Sparavigna (2) (1) Liceo Mariano Buratti, Viterbo (2) DISAT, Politecnico di Torino, Torino On 10 January 49 BC, leading the Legion XIII Gemina, general Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, the boundary between Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. This Caesar's military action, forbidden to any army-leading general, began the civil war. During the first period of this war, Caesar and Pompey, the commander of Senatorial forces, are engaged in some indirect tactics that included emersion and organization of their supporters. Both Caesar and Pompey (their profiles in Fig.1) have interest in getting the support of Massilia (Marseille), one of the most important cities of the western Mediterranean basin. Approaching Massilia in April 49, Caesar, who was marching to Spain, finds its gates closed: the town, although claiming its neutrality, is allied with Domitius Ahenobarbus, a Pompeian. Caesar, as he is writing in his Commentarii on the civil war, feels deeply insulted; after this hostile action, he leaves the newly raised XVII, XVIII, and XIX legions, under the command of Gaius Trebonius, to conduct a siege against Massilia. At the same time, he orders the neighboring Arelate (Arles) to prepare twelve warships. Differently from Massilia, people of Arles had already joined Caesar’s leadership. Quickly prepared in thirty days, the warships, under the command of Decimus Brutus, move to Massilia to participate its siege. In the beginning of June 49 BC, Caesar reaches Spain, where the Pompeian legates surrendre.

Roman law occupies, in this regard, a place apart, which it owes, also, to the abundance of documents of every kind, always permitting the investigation of it to be approached from some new side; and which it owes, further, to the enormous mass of work which has been put into it during centuries by generations of commentators. - P.

  • 1 Caesar's Civil War 49-44 BC Brittany Babineau History 503
    1 Caesar’s Civil War 49-44 BC Brittany Babineau History 503: Roman History April 30, 2018 2 This StoryMap, which showcases Caesar’s significant battles during the Civil War, is best shown in a spatial format because the real lack of strategy can be seen. Caesar fought the Civil War, with only tactical awareness of how to win each battle, not with a mind to conquer. Caesar had a sometimes uncanny ability to win in battles and succeed in more massive campaigns against various odds. The StoryMap presentation of the Civil War he fought from 49 to 44 BC, reveals that even though Caesar knew how to succeed strategically in war, he chose to respond tactically to each battle. He was reacting to the moves made against him by those in Rome who opposed him.1 Not only is the overlay of the war going to present this case, but how Caesar chose to conclude any battle he was involved in will make the case as well. Additionally, the reason I chose the icon I did as my point icon, is because it is a posthumous bust of Julius Caesar done some time between 44 and 30 BC.2 Caesar has managed to capture people’s hearts and minds even though he died long ago. Something made him stand out and has managed to keep him alive even passed the Ides of March, when he was brutally murdered. Julius Caesar was a unique human being, perhaps too modern for the times he lived in, with his overwhelming capability to proffer forgiveness even to the point of ignoring mortal danger to himself.

  • Sic Semper Tyrannis: Justification of Caesar’S Assassination
    Sic Semper Tyrannis: Justification of Caesar’s Assassination Jeffrey Allen Thompson Seminar Paper Presented to the Department of History Western Oregon University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in History Spring 2009 Approved_________________________________________Date___________ Approved_________________________________________Date___________ Hst 499: Prof. Max Geier & Prof. Narasingha Sil 1 -I- Sic Semper Tyrannis, Latin for ‘Thus unto tyrants,’ was famously spoken by John Wilkes Booth following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theater in Washington D.C. on April 13, 1865. Booth’s words harkened back to the assassination of another supposed tyrant two thousand years before, Gaius Julius Caesar. On the Ides of March, March 15, 44 B.C., Gaius Julius Caesar walked into the temple of Venus, atop Pompey’s Theater, where he was promptly stabbed by a conspiracy of over sixty prominent Romans. The leaders of the conspiracy took Caesar’s bloody robes onto the steps of the temple where they proclaimed that the tyrant was dead and rule had been restored to the Senate. Most prominent among them were the conspirators Marcus Junius Brutus (85-42 B.C.) and Gaius Cassius Longinus (C. 85-42 B.C.1). Caesar’s assassination marked the end of a nearly twenty-year period of Caesar’s ascent to power, which culminated in Caesar’s control of the Roman state. The assassination, although motivated by the patrician’s desire for power, was entirely within acceptable Roman beliefs about assassination and defense of the state. Caesar violated the Roman ideals of the first century B.C. about politics, namely, regnum and dominatio.2 This paper examines the justification of Caesar’s assassination from the perspective of Roman culture, history, and political ideals, as well as how Caesar’s assassination fits into the greater Roman ideals of murder, assassination, and justified murder.

    THE WRITINGS OF JULIUS CAESAR LATIN 3A HANDOUT #1 ASSIGNMENT 1.1: INTRODUCTION AND CAESAR’S MEMOIRS ON THE WAR IN GAUL Make sure that your work is your own. Since you are new to Caesar, you will discover the following about him: He uses lots of specific place names. You can find most of them on the map I’ve provided. Caesar preferred simple, straightforward vocabulary. The first passage does not use the letter ‘v’ (which didn’t exist in Latin) but uses ‘u’ for both the consonant and the vowel. Be prepared to examine words with the letter ‘u’ for this variation and hear my voice when I say, “it’s good for you.” Caesar loved ablatives absolute. (review chapter 24 of Wheelock’s Latin) Caesar loved indirect statement. (review chapter 25 of Wheelock’s Latin) INTRODUCTION TO JULIUS CAESAR BY BARBARA MCMANUS 102/100 BC: Gaius Julius Caesar was born of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor. His family had noble, patrician roots, although they were neither rich nor influential in this period. His aunt Julia was the wife of Gaius Marius, leader of the Popular faction. c. 85 BC: His father died, and a few years later he was betrothed and possibly married to a wealthy young woman, Cossutia. This betrothal/marriage was soon broken off, and at age 18 he married Cornelia, the daughter of a prominent member of the Popular faction; she later bore him his only legitimate child, a daughter, Julia. When the Optimate dictator, Sulla, was in power, he ordered Caesar to divorce her; when Caesar refused, Sulla proscribed him (listed him among those to be executed), and Caesar went into hiding.
