He truly cared for you all .

    Julius was not selfish in any way. During his reign he helped many find homes, with taxes, and many more. Miola and Bloom stated “ His generosity United all Romans as familial Lagatees, and though he shows superbial , he places self last and others first” ( Miola and Bloom 1). Julius showed qualities that a good leader should always have. All in all, the assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a victorious soldier, and he was a prosperous leader. Although others believe that he wa a tyrant, they were still…

    Akin to the Salem Witch Trials that took place in 1692 and 1693, the assassination of the great Julius Caesar in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar appeared to be unreasonable or unjust to many of those that honor him. However, unlike the notorious Salem Witch Trials, it is clear that as light manifests itself upon the mysterious reasons in regards to why Julius Caesar was brutally murdered, it is made obvious that Julius Caesar may not have been quite the adored and honorable man that the Romans so hoped for. There was a side to the Julius Caesar that remained hidden by his graciousness and utterly generous facade. This side of the great and almighty Caesar would prove to convince and compel the very Senators that served below him, that Caesar must meet his rather “timely” demise.…

    In Brutus's speech, he begins by addressing the crowd as "Romans, countrymen, and lovers,” demonstrating that he is one of them and that he values their role in the Roman community. This helps establish ethos (credibility), and as Brutus continues by arguing that he killed Caesar to protect all citizens from Caesar's ambition…

    “Know this, sons of Rome, this decree is given by our gods, and must be followed. Which of you has the stomach, but the strength to follow such a decree while not destroy this Empire?” He turns to the heirs and gestures for them to step up to the front of the stage. “You, Maxentius, nephew of Emperor Maximian, who would burn the flesh of man following orders? You Galerius, who would show the worth of a man’s years of loyal service as nothing for one mistake to be hung on the wall? But you, Constantine are the most dangerous of any of you. Your reasoning, your questioning mind, is better suited for a scholar than an emperor. One who questions the laws set down by the gods’ law should not lead others by it.” Turning to Emperor Maximian, he says, “Choose one of your blood to succeed brother.” Diocletian turns back, and faces Severus, “For this man, Severus is the only man I can see to fulfill the gods’ command for the…

    The speech is succinct and balanced stating “But as he [Caesar] was ambitious, I slew him.” Brutus’ lack of emotions reinforces that the assassination was purely for the greater good and not for personal profit. “There is tears for his love, joy for his fortunes and death for his ambition.” Brutus uses rhetorical questions to attempt to justify his actions and whether Caesar’s lust for power threatens Rome’s democratic society. “Had you rather Caesar were living to die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free…

    “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!” (Reference to other speech) I, Marc Anthony, Caesar’s right hand man have come to you today to speak about a problem facing the community of Rome. Sadly, Caesar, our glorious leader, has gone up to the gods. In result of this we need a new leader before our city descends into chaos and destruction. I can help to return peace and overflowing prosperity to the city of Rome and Italy. As you all know Caesar died prematurely to the bloody hands of conspirators who have infiltrated what we call home. I saw Caesar die at the hands of such traitors, so these conspirators must be killed in vengeance. Without these conspirators stopped, our beloved city will be unable to continue on its gracious path.…

    I decided that I should write to you about the events of yesterday, which I believe you have heard by now. Though if you haven’t, yesterday Caesar was killed in an attack orchestrated by Brutus and Cassius. When I heard, I have to admit that I was shocked that Caesar was dead and that Rome would lose the best leader we’ve had. In my opinion, Caesar was a great dictator, who was just trying to help the Roman Empire expand and was trying to make Rome better, so I believe that it’s good that he was killed.…

    ‘’The return if Camillus drew greater crowds than had ever been seen on such an occasion in the past people of all ranks in society pouring through the city gates to meet him; and the official celebration of his Triumph left in its splendour all previous ones in the shade. Riding into Rome in a chariot drawn by white horses he was the cynosure of every eye—and indeed in doing so he was felt to be guilty of a certain anti-republican arrogance and even of impiety. Might there no be sin, people…

    Livy's The Rise Of Rome

    • 1040 Words
    • 5 Pages

    With a history of people who showcase bravery, honor, and loyalty in the name of their city, the people of Rome are encouraged to act in the same way so they remain connected to Rome in every aspect of their lives. Romulus bravely founded Rome, even though it meant killing his brother. Lucius Tarquinius Superbus is a negative example of how some people in history did not show loyalty to Rome but to themselves. In his actions, Romans are able to learn that they should always be loyal to Rome first. And finally, Lucretia represents honor; her suicide allowed her to remain honorable and to avoid disgrace due to the actions of Sextus Tarquinius. Livy’s work not only details the history of the beginning of Rome but serves also as a guidebook on the ways a Roman should act when faced with challenges. These historical figures exemplify what the ideal Roman is and is not to be. By holding these figures, and many others, up as examples, Livy shows how important image and actions were to the Roman people when Rome was only Romulus’s idea and also through the reign of the kings that…

    Without any power, a society tends to become irrational, indecisive and flavorless. This ideal is portrayed in all scenes including plebeians, whether through direct or indirect characterization. The premiering scene portrayed Marullus and Flavius along the streets, scolding commoners for being hypocrites. “You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!/O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,/Knew you not Pompey?” (1.1.27-29) was proclaimed by Marullus, in protest of Caesars’ celebrations. This reveals that the common people of Rome are easily swayed, as they cheered for Caesar defeating his predecessor, after recently cheering for Pompey himself. An exquisite example of the citizens’ complacency comes from the Third Plebeian. He states,“The noble Brutus is ascended: silence” (3.2.14) but yet, after a short speech from Antony regarding the conspirators, he claims, “There’s not a nobler man in Rome than Antony”( 3.2.96). Furthermore, when attending to Caesar,“We are bless’d that Rome is rid of him”(3.2.48) stated the citizens, only to later say, “They were villains, murderers” (3.2.135) merely for doing the very “ridding” they praised! Complicity and irrationality are portrayed by the violent outburst, “Revenge!—About!—Seek!—Burn!/Fire!—Kill!—Slay! Let not a traitor live” (3.2.183-184) from the citizens, once Antony’s speech is…

    “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” This is a famous quote from Brutus regarding Julius Caesar. Brutus was manipulated by the conspirators into killing his best friend Caesar. From his guilt, Brutus ends up killing himself. But before his own death, Brutus and Caesar’s friend, Antony, give a speech regarding the death of Caesar. Brutus’s funeral speech in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare was most effective due to his use of pathos, ethos, and logos.…

    In examining the histories presented by Livy and Tacitus, it is crucial to take into account the agendas of the respective authors. While both set out to portray as accurate of a historical representation as possible, it is evident that both renowned historians and rhetoricians intended to deliver several significant messages regarding their thoughts on Rome. Both authors do, indeed, acknowledge the greatness of Rome and champion the core of Roman values; however, Livy and Tacitus tactfully elaborate on different troubles that face the Roman Empire. The histories put forth by these great men aim to present the past as an aid to promote the betterment Rome as a Republic and to prevent the fall of the Roman Empire.…
