♥♥♥♥ christine jiyoung kim ♥♥♥♥ [Julius Caesar speech] Julius Caesar was one of the most beloved dictators in Rome. He conquered land and blessed our country with even more power. And the great man shall lie here with great pride. May god bless him. Gais Julis Caesar was born 3 days before the Ides of July, in 100BC. He was born under the guardianship of Gaius Caesar and Aurelia, in a patrician familiy. After entering the course of advancement in the Roman political system as quaster around 68 BC, he learned quickly and acheived well untill he became the pontifex maximus around 68 BC. Few years later, in 59 BC, he becane consul, and after this term was over, Julius was sent to Gaul to serve one more term as the prosconsul. He also arranged a three-way power division with enemys (Crassus and Pompey) which is known as the Triumvirates. Although he made alll of these acheivements, the government told Caesar to come back to Rome when he was conquering land for the country since the Republic was in need of a new election, and all the delegates had to be present in Rome in order to be in the election. Our beloved Julius thought for a while, and decided to do the right thing- he disobeyed the orders of the Senate, and lead his troops accross the Rubicon river- which started the civil war. He won this war, and won more power after this war. Then, why would this great man lie here? He did nothing immoral or illegal, after all, he was the dictator that brought about the most progress and development in the Roman Empire. Eventually, a group of conspirators who were both jealous of his power and afraid that he was going to be dictator for life (this decision was made by the Senate and the election at 45 BC) assinated him on the Ides of March. Since the Roman Republic lost their most talented leader, they will not be able to prosper, until they meet a new dictator as great as the deceased.
