Caesar started many reforms, both social and political, some of which are still in play and an influence in America’s society today. Most of these reforms were in favor of the deprived and disadvantaged. He generated “implied laws,” one of which included the responsibility of the rich to help care for the poor. “Implied laws,” were laws that were in order and were carried out because Caesar urged the people very strongly but were not written down on paper. He established new public buildings and facilities and hired the needy to build those. This way, the empire of Rome was beautified and the unemployment rate was decreased.

Julius Caesar is “without a doubt the most significant figure in the history of Rome” for a vast majority of reasons (Knight). Julius’ full name and official title was “General Gaius Julius Caesar” and remained so throughout his entire life (“Julius”). When Julius Caesar was born is not agreed upon between most historians. But the closest approximation is around 100 B.C.E. Julius Caesar’s family was apart of the Roman aristocracy. He died around 44 B.C.E.

His assassination was planned by his “friends” “Brutus and Cassius” and the famous line “Et tu? Brutus” comes from his death…
