Audience (JESSICA): Julius Caesar, a powerful dictator of ancient Rome, lived for the citizens in which he ruled. Naming himself ruler for eternity, he rallied the Roman armies and conquered many territories; enriching the Roman name. “He showed himself perfectly prepared to serve and flatter everybody, even ordinary people... and he did not mind temporarily grovelling” (Dio Cassius). Caesar inspired the populace to do deeds for him, but unlike many dictators, he did not take away from Rome’s citizens who were full of opportunity and power. His ability, charisma, and intellect guided him and Rome to induce fear into their enemies. Caesar’s optimistic attitude and genuine appreciation of his loyal subjects kept him in power for a long time. However, all great rulers must eventually meet their end; his was unfortunately bloody. The assassination of Julius Caesar took place on Ides of March that was due to a concipariary against his rule where he was repeatedly stabbed to death. The mass majority reveled in his death and many tried to continue the legacy of Julius Caesar.

Historical (ALYSSA): What is the historical impact of the term? Julius Caesar was once a name whispered upon Roman lips as a strong and powerful dictator. His actions forever imprinted upon history and Rome as he paved the way for the Roman Empire. “Veni vidi vici,” (Caesar). The famous Latin words Julius Caesar once spoke when he shared his victory over Pharnaces with the senate. Translated into: I came, I saw, I conquered. Those three words could relate to every action Julius Caesar made simply because he was and forever will be known as a great ruler whether he was favored or not. Both hated and loved, Caesar continued to reform Rome by expanded their territory and changing their overall political stance. When the civil war broke out between the first triumvirate, Caesar believed that an Empire command would be a more effective ruling structure. He even found a solution for Rome's economical issues. For example by having tenants not pay rent for a whole year, among other things. Although known for his skill with political topics, he had a talent battles, which came into part when he conquered Gaul. Therefore, Rome would not be the economic center it is today in Italy if it were not for Julius Caesar’s innovative thinking and proficient deeds he contributed to Roman history.

Cultural (Leisey Trevillyan) Julius Caesar, though known as a strong and powerful dictator, had many impacts on the city of Rome. These impacts included allowing the city to go into debt, unemployment among the citizens, and improving the aspect of the city's appearance. “ The construction of new public buildings also served as a method of reducing unemployment in the city, but there was another motivation for building major projects in Rome: Caesar wanted to enhance the city’s appearance after he realized how unimpressive Rome seemed in comparison to Alexandria was considered the greatest city of the Mediterranean" (Fife). Although Caesar did expand the empire by capturing Gaul, he was so worried about the impression that he nearly drove the city bankrupt. He thought he was doing greatness for his city when putting rules on ownership. When these rules were on the uprising, so was the civil war and the results ended in Caesar needing to pay back loans from the war. He also put grain owning restraints on the people of Rome and that ultimately resulted in a positive finish, allowing trading grain to be easier and a new Harbor was built. When Julius Caesar died he contributed all of his money to the city of Rome and he was remembered as a devoted dictator. The people of Rome appreciate Caesar’s commitment to the city, whether it was for his own interest or the cities.
