Julius Caesar was very good for Rome. He took over Rome. He killed Pompey and Crassus and he took his chance to seize control of the empire. Caesar beheaded and killed his opponents. He was charismatic and won over his people by persuasion.
the Liberators were just looking for power. Cassius was just looking for power. If he would've just thought through the things that Caesar had done for his country they wouldn't have done it.
Caesar conquered territories and just left them. Caesar was a power hungry, selfish person. He was arrogant and a bigot. He had many mistresses and supposedly a secret relationship with a man. He was a dictatorship of Rome. in 49 b.c. led his troops over the Rubicon and crossed into Italy and took all his troops to Rome. It was an act of war. Pompey, Caersars's arch rival, fought against an army and he won the battle. Pompey fled to Egypt. Caesar put down more revolts and he was proclaimed the dictator of Rome. then he was murdured on the Ides of March.
Caesar served as Governor of Gaul. He was the first governor to cross into Rome and defeated armies and became the dictator of Rome.
Julius Caesar knew that he couldn't cross the Rubicon. Caesar was driven by his own desire for glory. What gives him the right to not follow laws. If he cared, he wouldn't have fought Pompey and fought a civil war. He did not set a good example because he broke the laws. He killed people, ruined peoples' lies, and beheaded people to get to power.
The assassination of Julius Caesar was wrong. He did many things for his people. He was assassinated by greedy people. He changed the calender, swiped away the failing republic. It tore the empire apart when they killed him. Cassius wanted to be God-like. The people viewed him as a god, and Cassius wanted to be viewed as a god. Caesar was hailed as a hero because he won many victories. He got rid of debt.
Julius Caesar committed treason by crossing the Rubicon and turned the republic into a civil war. He did it for his own selfish reasons.
