Julius Caesar is one of my favorite Greek leaders. Some of the things that he has done sound unreal, and are very unknown. One time, in 75 B.C., he was kidnapped by pirates. He was in his mid-20s, and had he set out from Rome for the Aegean island of Rhodes. He planned to study with Apollonius who was a Greek rhetorician whose students had included Cicero, who became a famous orator in Rome. However, along the way to Rhodes, Caesar’s ship was hijacked by pirates off the southwestern coast of Asia Minor. When the pirates named a ransom price for his release, Caesar thought the number was insultingly low and told them he deserved a higher ransom be demanded. Eventually, the higher ransom was paid and Caesar was freed. Soon after, he sought revenge
In this time as a soldier, Caesar was successful and, when Caesar's Roman General died, he decided to return to Rome and try his luck as an lawyer. By doing this he proved a success and became well known as an passionate speaker. In 75 BCE while sailing to Greece, Caesar was kidnapped by pirates and held for bribery. In keeping with the high opinion he had of himself, it is said that when the pirates told him he would be ransomed for twenty talents, Caesar claimed he was worth at least fifty. While he was held captive by them, Caesar was treated well and consistently maintained a happy relationship with the pirates. He is said to have repeatedly told them that when he was released Caesar would hunt them down and have them killed for the affront to his family and personal dignity and this threat the pirates thought Caesar was joking. Upon his release Caesar made good on that threat. He had the pirates throats slit before crucifixion in a show of mercy tolerance to their easy treatment of him in captivity. This determination of Caesar would become one of his defining characteristics throughout his life in Ancient
To begin, the Roman Republic seemed to have several problems before Octavian or Caesar Augustus entered as the ruler. There were political problems between the classes which caused much of the trouble. There were a few classes, the Nobiles which contained the patricians and the plebeians. There were two types of aristocratic leaders the optimates the populares. There was conflict between the two aristocratic groups, which had caused more political turmoil. (p. 112)
Many people knew Julius Caesar as powerful and popular Roman general and statesman. Julius was born in Rome the year of 100BC, and later died in 44BC. Growing up Julius had a well-rounded family. His father, Gaius Caesar, governed the region of Asia, and his mother, Aurelia Cotta, was the noble birth. At the age of seventeen, Julius married Cornelia, the daughter of an influential politician in Rome. Then just at 31, Julius had fought in wars and become involved in Roman politics. Although some people might view Julius Caesar as a villain, he was considered to be a hero in the Roman world. Julius Caesar is a hero because he improved the Roman Republic, changed the local governments, and protected the reconstruction of the city-states.
Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln had heavy hearts and ethical ambitions, but their views on governing disagreed with malicious people. Their ideas of governing ultimately led to their assassinations, and the destruction of the foundation they built. Indirectly, their deaths took the hope of many deserving citizens and the chance for social equality in their countries. Dissimilarly, Julius Caesar was subject to an infamous assassination for the benefit of Rome while Abraham Lincoln became a target of assassination out of egotistical beliefs towards America; their assassinations similarly caused distress to their hopeful citizens and a dent in the legacy they established for their people.

In order to fully comprehend and absorb Augustus and his era, it is of importance to succinctly appreciate the nature of the Roman crisis and, in particular, the role Julius Caesar played. The Senate was in control of the Republic. They did not have a written constitution, but rather practices agreed upon decisions that were completely grounded on tradition. They contained the parameters of what behaviour was considered more acceptable than the other. Near the end of the second century BC, political and military leaders started to push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable by tradition, and set new ones. The Republic was no longer functioning adequately. Violence and intimidation were at the root of these new behaviours. It would
There are two specific men that want to kill Caesar. These two men are very different and here’s why, The two men are Brutus and Cassius. Brutus is a much loved man, while Cassius is not. They also live in Rome. My thesis is that Cassius plans to take out Caesar and he is very fain about tit.

Julius caesar has just come back from slaying an important man to Rome, by the name of pompey. The people of his home are out of work enjoying life as a holiday, or as a day off of work, when they should be working. With these people there are two men who seem to be questioning everyone on why they are off of work, when it is technically not their place to say so or to do so on this day.
Bavaria was founded in the 6th century along the Naab River which was later called the Upper Palatinate. The Bavarian Duke Odilo vassalised the Slavic princes of the eastern areas of Germany. After many conflicts with the Lombards and other tribes, the Duchy was administered by Frankish administers. The 8th Century was a time of change in Bavaria. This was during the time of Christianization and had just begun to spread into Bavaria. Foundations were created and Pope Leo III ended up founding the first Eccleastical Province in Bavaria. Bavaria had a lot of problems around the 8th and 9th centuries. The state was constantly attacked by the neighboring Hungarians who were able to ravage their lands. It wasn't until a new ruler named Arnulf successfully
Julius Caesar was and still is considered to be one of the greatest military generals in history. His combination of leadership skills, military genius, and speaking ability propelled him to the forefront of Roman society. Born on June 12/13 100 B.C., Caesar was born into an ancient aristocratic family. Around the age of 16 after his father had died, Caesar had joined the military. It was apparent from this time onward that Caesar was especially gifted in the arts of strategy and warfare. By the age of 30 Caesar had begun making political strides in his perpetual quest for glory and prominence. During this time he would work closely with his friend and future mortal enemy, Pompey. In the next ten years, Caesar would become governor of Spain and ascend to the position of consul. His partnership with Marcus Licinius Crassus further increased Caesar’s rise to power, as Crassus himself was a powerful politician and general, who was arguably the wealthiest man in all of Rome. Along with Pompey, the three men formed what came to be known as the First Triumvirate. Although Caesar was aligned with Pompey, he never ceased to find ways outmaneuver him, qualities that would eventually precipitate Rome’s civil war. Continuing his military conquests, Caesar would become the governor of Gaul, which is now modern day Belgium and France. After ascending to this position, he’d engage in a near decade-long conquest of Gaul known as the Gallic War. Probably his most successful battle and

Piracy has always been a common occurrence throughout history, but demanding that your own ransom be upped to a higher price is not. In 75 B.C. Sicilian pirates had captured Julius Caesar and held him for ransom; after discovering the amount being demanded, Caesar became offended, believing he was worth much more than the original asking price, and ordered the pirates to raise the demand. Due to this display of arrogance, it's hard to picture Caesar as one of the greatest generals in history! Yet, to this day, Caesar remains one of the most prominent figures in Roman history, from establishing a law against extortion, conquering most of modern-day France and England to reshaping Rome; Caesar has an extensive list of achievements to prove himself
