Was Julius Caesar Good Or Bad

Rome started to become overrun with crime and people were so scared, they stayed off the streets. People started to become unemployed and taxes started to increase. The Roman people became angry with the government. They demanded that the government do something. Caesar heard the pleads of the people and convinced them he knew what to do. The Roman people began to trust and rely on him to fix Rome’s problems. (Julius Caesar for kids, May 1st 2014)

“I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was born in July 100 BC and he died on March 15, 44B.C. Caesar was a general, politician, and a dictator. Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered. He gave Rome hope for a better future and a promise of new land, jobs, and wealth. Caesar accomplished many things for his country like win many victories, developed the Julian calendar, and redistributed land to the poor. He used many different tactics and strategies to win his wars. Through brilliant military tactics, Julius Caesar, ruler of Rome from 49 B.C. to 44 B.C., guided the people of Italy and Rome to achieve many victories, allowing him to become a powerful ruler, hero, and inspiration and leaving a legacy that still shapes the world today.

Julius Caesar was a man the people of Rome loved. He brought Rome prosperity, happiness, and power by ruling Rome in a way that had never been done before. He put the corrupt senators of Rome in a position where they could no longer pull Rome down to benefit themselves, and he made sure that he ruled Rome fairly and correctly, and for this, Rome loved Caesar. This is proven in the article “Killing Julius Caesar” by Jon Herman.

Julius Caesar was a spellbinding orator and a ruthless politician, although he was merciful in victory, understanding that such favors would return political dividends. He was also a military genius and his legions loved him for his courage and skill, and for fighting bareheaded among their ranks. Caesar was a great man, however, sometimes his actions would prove people wrong. Occasionally crowds had protested against him and it has mostly been over a specific grievance. Many people of Rome will not deny the fact

Gaius Julius Caesar will be remembered as a strong leader, and a man loved by his soldiers and the people alike. However, Caesar also manipulated and used the people of Rome in his search for complete power and control. Some might say Caesar was doing what was good and necessary for his nation. This is not the case. With all of his radical reforms, Caesar overstepped his boundaries as consul, and never looked back. He used his power to advance his military and political agendas. Furthermore, Caesar acted as a traitor to the Roman government. He redistributed land and wealth, taking the patricians’ hard earned land and giving it to the plebeians and even foreigners. He seemed to regard foreigners more highly even than the Roman people. This is shown when he awarded many Roman citizenships to foreigners, and even gave them a major role in the Senate, expanding it by 300 members, an action that again overstepped his permissions as consul.

Julius Caesar was a good man, beloved by his country. He was a good ruler and had expanded Rome by a lot. He made himself the dictator for life. He died at the hands of his fellow senators, and one of his best friends Brutus. Mark Antony, a son like figure to Caesar, will be taking charge of Rome. He will be missed by all, long live the great Julius

Julius Caesar is thought of as the most powerful and glorious ruler to step foot in Rome. The only thing

“Julius Caesar, ruler of the Roman world, now looked a broken man”. In the story “Killing Caesar” by Jon Herman Julius Caesar was a hero not a tyrant. He was a hero because he created jobs, helped control sanitation, sewage, food, and he governed Rome well.

Was Caesar a tyrant or a hero? By reading about Caesar and his life Caesar was a hero. In the article “Killing Caesar” by Jon Herman it says everything Caesar has done to help the roman citizen’s even if people did not like what he said or did.

Was Julius Caesar a hero or a villain? Many people think Julius Caesar was a hero because of all the great things he did to Rome like that he made the senate larger, which gave more representation to the people, reformed the Roman Republic, which directly led to the Roman Empire, and was a great general. Some people may think he is a villain, but I know he is a hero. First and foremost, the people didn’t have any say in things that the government did, but Julius Caesar transformed the senate so that they represented the people. The senate now has 300 senators and they were elected for life.

These actions did not completely alleviate the problems but significantly helped the situations. In addition, Caesar also wanted to construct new public buildings. In Caesar as Dictator: His Impact on the City of Rome, Steven Fife states, “Caesar wanted to enhance the city’s appearance after he realized how unimpressive Rome seemed in comparison to Alexandria, which was considered the greatest city of the Mediterranean.” (Fife) Building more space for courts of law and a new senate house were among the actions he took. It appeared as though his ultimate goal was to make Rome more politically and culturally recognized.

A good leader is measured by the ability to inspire, gives back to his people, and true leaders are humble and show humility. Julius Caesar had all these qualities and so much more to offer to the empire of Rome. The conspirator attempted to downgrade Caesar image, and for a short time they succeeded; however, with the help of Antony, the people then realized what they had lost. Julius Caesar was a good leader no matter what the conspirators said.

Antony has been on Caesar's side since day one. He has been loyal to him since the beginning of the play. Caesar trusts him and at the end of the play it pays off. Antony does not join the conspirators and he refuses to kill Caesar. Brutus, Cassius, and the other conspirators lure Caesar out of the house to inevitably stab him causing his death.

Julius Caesar is and was one of the most influential people in history. He created laws, stuck wars, and developed new strategies for leadership and battles. "Caesar is widely considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, as well as a brilliant politician and one of the ancient world's strongest leaders (Julius Caesar pg.1)." He transformed the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire and he extended his land all the way through Gaul to The Atlantic Ocean, as well as fighting a civil war and being proclaimed as dictator for life.

Gaius Julius Caesar was a military commander, politician, and author at the end of the Roman Republic. He has done many things for this world such as, calendar reform that created the Julian Calendar (the calendar we use today), and the establishment of a police force. These are all nice and all but there are more important things than creating the calendar and with this, you’ll learn more about Julius Caesar feats.
