Mark, J. J. (2018, June 26). Julius Caesar.

Retrieved June 26, 2018, from https://www.ancient.eu/Julius_Caesar/

After reading this article, I felt that Julius Caesar’s story aroused fear as a military leader, and great empathy because he was assassinated. Not only did people end his life sooner than expected but his so called “heir,” Marcus Junius Brutus, helped assassinate him. His own friend got convinced to murder his friend to save the country of Rome which made me feel sorry for Julius.

In this article I read about Julius Caesar’s political and military career. Julius was one of the world’s greatest military leaders. I think because he was a politician this meant he was intelligent and his military experience should have made him learn from mistakes. He helped lead Rome in the 50s B.C.

Julius Caesar. (2017, November 30). Retrieved from https://www.biography.com/people/julius-caesar-9192504

This website was a biography on Julius Caesar. When I read the article I believe Caesar had excessive pride. One of the paragraphs said that he would cut off the hands of his enemies once their water supply was dried up. He also took over other places such as Gaul which is now France and Belgium. He had built up his military too.

In this article I read about Caesar was appointed the position of being an ‘Adele’ which meant he had to basically keep the citizens of Rome happy. I believe he was noble in nature and I could see myself in Caesar because he really cared about the citizens in his country. He would even borrow money from people just to have the best of the best.

The Assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 BC. (n.d.). Retrieved fromhttp://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/caesar2.htm

This website talked about the assassination of Julius Caesar. I believe Julius suffered more than he deserved. Caesar was a great military leader. He was a great politician. He became disliked when he decided to run a dictatorship. This turned around sixty members of the senate on him. I don’t think he should’ve been killed, but rather demoted and fired from running the government.
