Julius Caesar Julius Caesar cold heartedly deserved to die. There are many factual reasons on why he actually deserved to die. Most people believe the conspirators were in the wrong, and only some think they were in the right of way. Yes, Caesar did some good but the bad completely weighs out the bad. Some things Caesar did were; he took bribes because he was running out of money, Caesar owned 16 slaves, and lastly but certainly not least he made his water supervisors hand get cut off because of a water shortage(Parenti). Caesar was born the 12th or 13th of July (“Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)”). He was born to the Prestigious Julian clan in Rome (“Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)”). During the years Caesar eventually made a pact with Pompey and Crassus(“Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)”). Later on Caesar followed and had someone kill Pompey(“Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)”). “Caesar pursued Pompey from Thessaly to Egypt, where Pompey was murdured by an officer of King Ptolemy” (“Julius Caesar “). Normally when people make a pact with someone they stick together not secretly have someone kill the other person! Caesar also then made himself master of Rome, Consul and Dictator Julius Caesar was nothing good(“Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC)”). He only thought about getting power and being powerful. He truly did not care about the people he over ruled. Caesar was one sneaky person. He was like the friend that you think you are really close to and can trust and then takes the first chance and stabs you in the back. Julius Caesar was kidnapped by pirates (“Julius Caesar “). While they kept him captive he made a bond with the pirates and called them his “family” (“Julius Caesar”). One day the pirates docked the ship, to show power Caesar ran and had all the pirates killed (“Julius Caesar”). Now coming from the person to call these people family and then have them killed, Caesar is not a trusting type of person.
