Comparing Tribunes And Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) was one of the most outstanding leaders in history. He was the first ruler of the Romano-Hellenic civilization and achieved his goals with great success throughout his life of 56 years. He was assassinated by the conspirators, who accused him for practicing tyranny. This essay will discuss whether it was right for the conspirators to murder Caesar and what its consequences were.

Julius Caesar is a powerful, confident man who leads great armies and efficiently rules the Roman Empire.

In Shakespeare’s play, Caesar is a highly respected man that holds great power, and as he gains more power there are men who stand to oppose him. This is how Caesar shows so many good qualities of leadership, like keeping an open ear to the people, being observant and proud, as well as being honest. The attributes that Caesar shows has gained him the trust of all of the people, already proivng just how worthy he is to be called the greatest authority figure in Shakespeare’s drama The Tradgedy of Julius Caesar.

Thank you for coming to watch Theatre Theatre’s production of the play “Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is known for writing many famous tragedy plays, but not only is this just a play, this play was based on a real lfe event that occurred during 44 BC. That is a bit more than 2 millennia ago. It demonstrated how Julius Caesar, a man that was recognized as an immortal could fall merely to a blemish.

Praetorians and the Tribunes were debating about Augustus and the censorship of the arts and literature put out in Augustus’ name only. The Praetorians were in favor for free speech and against censorship while the Tribunes believed that censorship is worth it as Augustus was a great emperor. Both sides provide great usages of rhetoric, however, I believe that the Tribunes won by a narrow margin because their usage of rhetoric was more stronger and provide a great argument in regards of referencing morality in Roman society.

Julius Caesar, a play by William Shakespeare, outlines a civil war brought on by the assassination of Roman leader Caesar by a group of noblemen led by Brutus and Cassius who oppose Caesar and his possible rule due to their belief that he is a power hungry tyrant. Contrastly, Antony and Octavius are loyal to the fallen leader and strive to avenge his death. Through the play, Caesar is shown to be a megalomaniac due to his lack of trust, his endeavour to be seen as strong, and his pursuit to gain popular support. Caesar’s lack of trust in others parallels him to absolute monarchs and dictators who attempt to be in control and remain in control by eliminating possible threats and placing trust in a small group. After Caesar rejects the crown

To understand Augustus Caesar, it is important to have a glimpse of the “Roman Revolution.” During this time, violence and intimidation dominated the government. Generals used their power to extract money from the locals to fund their political ambitions. Julius Caesar gained the support of his army and virtually became a dictator in Rome. Though he accomplished many reforms, he was strongly opposed by the Senate and in 44 BC he was assassinated by conspirators among them. At this juncture, Augustus the chief heir of Julius Caesar, entered Rome’s political arena.

Roman tribunes were military or civil officers in ancient Rome consisting of a group of up to ten individuals that hold great power over the Roman government (Johnson). Chosen by the people, some responsibilities or Roman Tribunes include; protecting people from the acts of magistrates and prosecuting individuals that violated the law (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). According to tributes and triumphs, a Roman Tribune is “an officer or magistrate chosen by the people, to protect them from the oppression of the patricians, or nobles, and to defend their liberties against any attempts that might be made upon them by the senate and consuls” (Siteseen). This paper will discuss the Roman Tribunes as it relates to the play of Julius Caesar.

A Roman tribune is like a soldier. It's like a chief of like a high rank and more like officers basically, you work to be or to get to a higher rank. So for instant, if you want respect or something you to earn it, so that's the way I look at a Roman tribune. Another thing about a Roman tribune is that they are chosen by the people. They are like a army with a very high rank. The Roman tribune has all types of rankings in their military. The Roman tribune clothes where red, with some sandals and a sword and some armor just alittle like our modern day kinda. I think the Roman tribune is important because if you look back then in their military and then look at ours it's basically no difference. It's just back then they didn't have the weapons we have now

In this compelling biography detailing the history of Julius Caesar and the greatest figure in history through my eyes it depicted they ways he has helped mold Rome even after his death two thousand years ago. Julius Caesar by Philip Freeman is a very well written book. This biography, however, comes neither to praise Caesar overmuch nor to bury him among the tyrants of history (3). I must say that I am not an avid book reader but from what I already knew about Julius Caesar I figured this would broaden my interest. Julius Caesar was an author, politician, and a general that was a big part of the great Holy Roman Empire. Philip Freeman did a great job in portraying Julius Caesar as a hero and a villain. It almost seems that all people that have done great things in their respective fields get the

Julius Caesar was one of the best leaders to originate from the Roman Empire era. Throughout Caesar’s life, he has had so many achievements with the Roman Empire. And With all his actions from his life, He helped form the Roman Empire after his death in March 15, 44 B.C.

Dakota Smith, HIS 104-19Z1(78100), Spring 2018, Professor Motamedi The book Julius Caesar by Philip Freeman is a display of a true renaissance man. Throughout this book Caesar’s strong leadership skills and political expertise are extraordinarily displayed. Caesar is shown as a hero of Rome as he shows mercy to the innocent cities that surrender, but, he is also made known as a villain when he has the pirates who kidnapped him sent to prison and crucified.(50) Caesar is a very knowledgeable man in many fields and possesses numerous talents which help him succeed.

As I took the course of “Introduction to Theatre”, our class has explored the enduring question of “what is the place of theater in the world and why?” To answer this question, we learned about the different time periods, including the BC time period all the way to the present time period. As we learned about the history of that period, we saw some reasons and answers to the question of what the function of theater is in the world. Our first step in analyzing plays was that we first examined the time periods of that play, and then how the events and lifestyles influenced the writers of the plays. For an example, through theater, the plays Fences and Angles in America were both meant to bring awareness about the social issues in society. During
