Shakespeare, and our educational system’s obsession with him, was still a bit of a mystery to me.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • 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.

  • Brutus: the Noble Conspirator by Kathryn Tempest
    2018-076 12 Sept. 2018 Brutus: The Noble Conspirator by Kathryn Tempest . New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 2017. Pp. xiii, 314. ISBN 978–0–300–18009–1. Review by Kirsty Corrigan, University of Kent ([email protected]) There has been a recent resurgence 1 of interest in Marcus Junius Brutus (85–42 BC ), Julius Caesar’s most famous assassin. In Brutus: The Noble Conspirator , historian Kathryn Tempest (Roehampton Univ.) pursues further her interest in the Roman Republic. 2 She aims to use the relevant ancient evidence to go beyond the legend of Brutus created by Shakespeare and reveal the man in his his- torical context. Blending biographical with historical and literary analyses, she seeks to open a new perspective on factual details which, she admits, may not be novel in themselves (xi). Besides an introduction and conclusion, the book comprises eight chapters equipped with il- lustrations, maps, and endnotes. There is an extensive bibliography and a detailed but not com- prehensive index. 3 Two appendices helpfully summarize the order and nature of the events of a hectic political period (88–42 BC ). The author also compares the accounts of Plutarch, Appian, and Cassius Dio, the main ancient sources for the period. Though Tempest claims not to be bound to a linear historical narrative (14), chapters 1–7 in fact track the details of Brutus’s life chronologically. This has merit, since deviations from a chronological plan can cause the narrative to lose clarity. That said, the author does enliven her linear format by including quotations of primary sources as well as summaries and clarifications of contemporary political circumstances as, for example, in her discussion of the situation young nobles faced in the senate in the wake of Sulla's reforms in 81 BC (29–32).

  • Knowledge and Tragedy 1
    Knowledge and Tragedy 1 Knowledge and Tragedy: or why we shouldn’t share knowledge By Patrick Lambe When Julius Caesar walked into the Forum in Rome on that fateful March day in 44 BC, he was hard pressed by petitioners. Caesar was not in Rome often: he had spent much of the previous fourteen years enlarging the dominions of Rome, fighting a bitter civil war against those who thought him too powerful, and flirting with Cleopatra in Egypt. And he was about to head east, to Parthia, to fight another war. A lot of people wanted his attention before he left. One of the crowd was a philosophy teacher named Artemidorus. He knew of the plot to assassinate Caesar that very day, and had written the details of the plan and the names of the key conspirators onto a folded piece of papyrus. However, he noticed that whenever Caesar accepted a piece of paper from his petitioners, he handed it immediately, as all great men do, to one of his aides. Artemidorus came close, and as he handed over the papyrus, pleaded: “Read this one, Caesar, read it quickly and by yourself. I promise you it’s important and concerns you personally.” Devotees of just-in-time knowledge management would be pleased. The conspirators were already waiting inside the meeting hall with concealed knives. In fact, knowledge of the plot had started to leak out more widely. At Caesar’s home, one of Caesar’s servants, who had also discovered the plot, but who did not know when or how it was to be accomplished, was sitting by the entrance waiting for Caesar’s return, in order to warn him.

How did he become the successor to Caesar, who died without fulfilling his ambition? The year is 46 BC. The Roman triumph is held for Gaius Julius Caesar, who has returned to Rome after defeating his political opponent Pompeius in a long civil war. On that night, Caesar hosts a banquet to reconcile himself with the nobles who opposed him. Among the invited guests are Marcus Antonius who is considered a potential successor to Caesar; Cleopatra VII, the Egyptian queen and Caesar's lover; and Brutus who had been treated like a son to Caesar but turned against him during the civil war. When Caesar tells Brutus to give a toast, Pompeia, who is the daughter of the late Pompeius, appears at the banquet. She recklessly slashes at Caesar with her father's keepsake dagger. But she is stopped by Gaius Octavius, who is Caesar's greatnephew and a descendant of the gens Julia that is a Roman prestigious family. Octavius, who returned from his study trip to Greece, is attending the celebratory gathering with his assistant Agrippa.

  • 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.
