    P0mpey filled the city with s0ldiers, a m0ve which intimidated the triumvirate's 0pp0nents. Bibulus attempted t0 declare the 0mens unfav0rable and thus v0id the new law,but was driven from the forum by Caesar's armed supporters. His bodyguards had their ceremonial axes broken, two high magistrates accompanying him were wounded, and he had a bucket of excrement thrown over him. In fear of his life, he retired to his house for the rest of the year, issuing occasional proclamations of bad omens. These attempts toobstruct Caesar's legislation proved ineffective.Roman satirists ever after referred to the year as "the consulship of Julius and Caesar."[44]…

    Caesar spent so lavishly in hopes to obtain the office of pontifex maximus, or better known as “the high priest.” Though there were accusations of bribery, which could very likely be true, he “decisively defeated two very strong competitors, [regardless that] they were greatly his superiors in age and rank” (Suetonius, 39). (His victory could also be due to the fact that his candidacy split the two older men’s votes.) As the high priest, it was his job to expurgate public morals and to be concerned with the sanctifying of public acts. In 62 BCE, Caesar was elected praetor; that is, it was his duty to serve as a judge of the Republic and to be in charge of the army when the consul was absent.…

    Emperor Claudius is a figure of largely mixed popularity and opinions, and Seneca’s satire, the Apocolocyntosis (herein abbreviated to Apoc.) poorly reflects the multifaceted character of Claudius (Fagan, 1998). The opinions of his many contemporaries which are not limited to nobles, but to a wider range, included those within Rome and without, which in turn reflects the people: from plebeian to senator. As is often the case, only the opinion of the nobility was seen, because the lower classes were most often unable to write (find supporting evidence) and therefore their opinions of the matter are non-existent. The…

    The citizens of Rome are also called the plebeians. The plebeians didn’t have many lines as the main characters in the play, but they cause what the outcome of the play will be. Throughout the play, they are manipulated by their leaders, changing their minds quickly, and had an important role in the play. The common people support their leaders throughout the play, and in return the rulers would gain their trust and more power to rule in making decisions for them or against them. In Julius Caesar, the common people are easily manipulated by their leaders, but their rulers need the support of the plebeians, because they could overthrow their leaders.…

    From the opening scene of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare introduces conflict. Flavius and Murellus introduce Caesar as a contentious personality, as they rebuke the “mechanicals” who “make holidays to see Caesar” and “rejoice his triumph”. The Tribunes are unhappy with these celebrations as shown through the contrast in tone when Murellus adresses the “Mechanicals” with “You blocks, You stones, you worse than senseless things!” demonstrating the conflicting perspectives within the social classes. The Tribunes believe that Caesar's “growing feathers” need to be “Pluck's” as they are concerned that with his growing power they will be kept in “servile fearfulness”. Shakespeare conveys their anger at the fickleness of the “Mechanicals”, through the use of imperatives such as “answer me directly” and “be gone!'...” as they rebuke their “ingratitude” to Pompey. This shows the dominance of the Tribunes and…

    Caesar had named himself the dictator of Rome for life, and the citizens did not like that because they wanted to keep their Roman Republic how it was before. The republic was divided into 3 parts, and if Caesar was dictator for life, then he would continue to gain more and more power, and would eventually just pass laws without having anybody vote on them. Shortly before Caesar’s death, he had announced himself as dictator for life in Rome. Many politicians saw Caesar as eventually becoming a king, and Rome did not want a monarchical…
