Julius Ceasar (page 2)

Yerusalyim

Attila was actually done better. Then again, I'm not as familiar with the history either.

yeru,

yes i noticed you are a julius fan!

If the comparison between Rome and America is that both are ruled by megalomaniacs then another similarity is that the megalos were driven to it be the irrational and petty hatred of the opposition. Caesar was driven to march on Rome by people who wanted to see his ruin even if it meant the ruin of Rome. That too sounds familiar in America.

are you referring to the democrats?

No one even wants to make the connection between ancient Rome and America?

How bout this, although not Julius Caesar related: The parallels between the Romans no longer having the will to aggressively defend the borders of the Western Empire against the barbarians,it started with granting them citizenship, to finally paying them bribes not to sack Rome and granting amnesty to 10 million illegals yesterday.

Did they mention in the movie that he was also famous for his salad dressing ?

Mae,

Lot's of reasons have been given as to why JC was assasinated...take your pick. But first, ya gotta remember...it wasn't "THE SENATE" that killed Ceasar...but a conspiracy of some Senators...about 30 in all...That was less than 1/2 of 1% of the Senate.

As much as some would like to claim it was to defend the Republic...the Republic was already long dead...

My own belief is that it was based upon Jealousy...Ceasar was a Populist...and the Cato's and Junius Brutus....etc wanted to protect their priveleges.

The hatred of Ceasar started quite early in his political career and never eased up.

Others claim that Ceasar was trying to have himself declared King of Rome...which isn't true as far as anyone can tell...on the other hand...Ceasar said that King was just a word...and in this he was correct.
