Cassius Dio

Cassius says, “Till then, my noble friend, chew on this: / Brutus had rather be a villager / Than to repute himself a son of Rome / Under these hard conditions as this time / Is like to lay upon us” (I.ii.169-174) which is a prime example. Other than these

The Roman Senate house was empty. All but one of numerous candles had been blown out, and sitting by this candle, was the Dictator of Rome, Julius Caesar. Caesar was sitting in his chair of solid marble when the doors burst open, and there stood two figures hidden by the darkness of midnight. One of the figures noticeably raised an arm, and for a moment, the world stood still. The figure’s hand slightly moved when suddenly a snap echoed through the room.

On the 15th of March 44 BC, a group from the Roman Senate led by Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus and Marcus Junius Brutus assassinated Julius Caesar. Most people know this, or they at least know that Julius Caesar was assassinated, but no one ever really talks about why he was killed. As a general rule, politicians who end up with too much power or politicians who have ideas too radical for their time end up getting assassinated. It’s a recurring pattern throughout history.

In Dante's inferno, Dante first begins describing himself in a dark forest and in the distance on top of a mountain sees paradise where his love, Beatrice, resides. He then begins making his way to the mountain when he sees 3 creatures, a lion, a leopard and a she-wolf. He then meets the spirit of Virgil, who was a roman poet.

It begins with talking about how the author has noticed the huge change in the city called Tambopata in the southern province called Madre de Dios (translated to Mother of God). Mr Boyd described how he realized how much the 13 year gap in his travels to Tombopata before even landing in the airport. The once green horizon was said to have spots of a “puss colored toxic holes”. He goes on to talk

Ra is equal to the total revenues obtained from the harvest (paya) minus the costs on labour (wla), capital (qka), and transportation (vad) –Note that the distance is included in the transportation costs. In the case without and alternative use, which ensure keeping the forest stand, the agricultural frontier expands until the distance where Ra equals zero. Transportation costs may be too high at this point. Thus, to reach markets is too costly and deforestation stops. The relation Rf-deforestation

from Dio Cassius’s Roman History. This is principally accomplished as Cassius Dio, like Tacitus, mainly focusses on Augustus’s single-minded need for power in relation to the rights granted by a high majority of the people and the senate. However despite this, Cassius Dio declares that, “Caesar himself was destined to have absolute control of all matters for all time, because he was not only master of the funds but also commanded the soldiers…” Through this declaration provided by Cassius Dio, it
