The Battle Of Vendetus In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
Since Antony had broken off from the Senate’s graces, he had embarked on a personal vendetta targeted towards one of Julius Caesar’s assassins who was named Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, who governed Mutina. However, the Senate did not approve and sent the army cohorts of Hirtius and Octavius, who had been appointed Propraetor by the Senate, to support Decimus Brutus. The Battle of Mutina ensued, and Antony was forced to retreat. Up until this time, Antony did not respect Octavius as a war leader, but now he saw him as an equal.

    The Battle of Pharsalus was a decisive battle of Caesar's Civil War. On 9 August 48 BC at Pharsalus in central Greece, Gaius Julius Caesar and his allies formed up opposite the army of the republic under the command of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus "Pompey the Great". Pompey had the backing of a majority of senators, and his army significantly outnumbered the veteran Caesarian legions. Pompey deployed his army in three lines, 10 men deep. He posted his most experienced legions on the flanks dispersing his new recruits along the center. In total, Caesar counted 110 complete cohorts in the Pompeian army, about 45,000 men.…

    To assassinate means, “To kill suddenly or secretively, especially a politically prominent person; murder premeditatedly and treacherously”(dictionary reference 1).. Julius Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC, and was assassinated by many Roman senators near the theatre of Pompey on the Ides of March, on March 15, 44 BC. Achity explains his assassination by stating that “In the Senate chamber, Antonius is drawn to one side. Then the conspirators crowd about Caesar as if to second a petition for the repealing of an order banishing Publius Cimber. When he refuses the petition, the conspirators attack him, and he falls dead of twenty-three knife wounds” (Atchity 7). The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a victorious soldier, and he was a prosperous leader; however, others believe that he was a tyrant.…

    Julius Caesar Struggles

    Antony’s rule of rome soon became challenged, by Caesar’s nephew Octavius. Octavius was a more experienced in military altercations and with ruling from a legislative standpoint. He claimed the money of Caesar as the rightful heir, but Antony spent it “in the interest of the roman people” which did not include giving the roman people a cut of the money. This caused many of the people to rally against antony in favor of Octavius. Another challenger to Antony’s authority was Cicero. Cicero won the philippics against Antony, which is essentially a war of words. This led to the prevention of Antony joining forces with Octavius. Even with the present challenges, the system of government remained the same and a second Triumvirate was formed to take the place of the…

    The two Romans had very different morals. Brutus was an honorable man and said that he had never met a man that he did not trust. He was forgiving, but gullible and naive. This turned out to have bad results as far as whether or not Antony should live. If Antony were killed he could not have started the war. His qualities unlike Cassius', which were vengefulness and manipulative, made Cassius the better man for the job because he would have had Antony put to death. He was deceitful and had no problem lying to people, even Brutus. He was also plotting and suspicious which made for a very god military strategist.…

    Modern citizens can look to the life of Marcus Tullius Cicero as the paradigm of civic duty and good conscious. Not only did Cicero garner his offices solely through hard work, as a novus homo, but he also upheld the reputation of the Roman legal system, easily seen by his prosecution of Verres, the corrupt, ex-governor of Sicily. Cicero justifiably prosecuted Verres mainly due to Verres’s guilt and Cicero’s desire for power, thus proving Livy’s claim that the law is blind, for even a very wealthy, well connected man can still be found guilty.…
