JULIUS CAESAR

Julius Caesar was known as a politician in Rome. Besides that, he is one of the greatest general of all time during his era in the late Roman republic. He had making himself as a dictator of Rome when he extended the Roman Empire before seizing the power and paving the way for the imperial system. 

During his time, he is the master of Rome and made himself consul and dictator. With his power, he had carry out much-needed reform, relieving dept, enlarging the senate, building the Forum Iulium and revising the calendar. He did not make himself as a leader but he presented himself as a dictator and dictatorship always regard a temporary position but in 44BC, Caesar took it for life. the success and the ambition alienated the strongly republican senators. 

Caesar at time were very powerful man during that time. All of senators were afraid of his power and plan to assassinate Caesar. This plan were led by Cassius and his own step-son, Brutus. At first, they have a press and invited Caesar to discuss it. Casca was the one who volunteered to speak and talk about the civil war when they tried to persuade Caesar to bring back the relatives who had been banished from Rome with full pardon and citizen. Caesar refused to bring back to Rome when he said that they are traitors. Suddenly Cassius spoke, " Now Casca! Now! Do it now!". Then Casca stabs Caesar followed by all the conspirators except Brutus. Than after they finished stab Caesar, Brutus came and stab Caesar. That time, Caesar were shocked and said "Et tu Brute" which mean "you too Brutus" and then Caser died. The reason why Brutus killed his own step father, Caesar, just because he was ambitious. AMBITIOUS ? AMBITIOUS?

REFUSING KINGLY CROWN IS NOT AMBITIOUS,
CAESAR REFUSE KINGLY CROWN,
THEREFORE, CAESAR IS NOT AMBITIOUS!!!
