To assassinate means, “To kill suddenly or secretively, especially a politically prominent person; murder premeditatedly and treacherously”(dictionary reference 1).. Julius Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC, and was assassinated by many Roman senators near the theatre of Pompey on the Ides of March, on March 15, 44 BC. Achity explains his assassination by stating that “In the Senate chamber, Antonius is drawn to one side. Then the conspirators crowd about Caesar as if to second a petition for the repealing of an order banishing Publius Cimber. When he refuses the petition, the conspirators attack him, and he falls dead of twenty-three knife wounds” (Atchity 7). The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a victorious soldier, and he was a prosperous leader; however, others believe that he was a tyrant.…
Cincinnatus won the war in 13 days. Many people were happy and they asked Cincinnatus to be a dictator for life. Cincinnatus turned down the offer because he knew that having a republic was better that having a dictator. He knew that a dictator could abused their power.

If Cincinnatus did not step in, Rome would be destroyed and many people would have died. Most heroes are pictured as people who win battles and save lives. The second reason that Cincinnatus should be a hero was that he was selfless. Cincinnatus turned down the offer to be a dictator for life because he wanted to help his city instead of himself.

Instead, he turned down the offer and continued his life on his farm. This shows that Cincinnatus was not greedy for power. He puts people in front of himself. He gave up the offer for his city.

Caesar died on March 15, 44 BC, in Rome, Italy. His death was very crucial. Stabbed 23 times, and only one wound was fatal, leading him to his death. This death was an assassination, which was committed by his own senators at a meeting that was held in a hallway next to Pompey’s Theatre. It was thought that Caesar died suffering knowing that the stabbing were very painful. This would be because stab wounds aren't fatal unless punctured through the muscle tissue, which is hard because there are too many things such as rib cage, and arms to block the weapon. There are two theories to caesars fatal stab wound, one he was stabbed in the chest which caused blood to enter the chest cavity. This would cause his lungs to collapse and leading to suffocation.…

Caesar as a leader was a very harsh and a very unmanly man. Caesar was a man who made them fight for his own wars. He had many men battle for. Caesar is also a very non believer. Caesar was part of a very bloody war. He went into battle with his men who he sent their first and they fought in a blood bath. Caesar said he had to do this because there was no other route when really there was. Caesar was not a good man because with this that he did it was bloody and it was not a very good battle for him because many live where lost. This makes me believe that Caesar is a poor leader not caring about his men or caring about the fact if he win or loses. Caesar also didn't care about the fact of the land. If he messed it up so be it. Caesar a poor leader in my eyes.…
