Julius Caesar has the rule of Rome close to him to take. Until Brutus and the conspirators assassinated Caesar. While Caesar was being stabbed to death by the conspirators he didn’t care he accepted he was being killed but‚ when he saw Brutus stabbing him too‚ he felt betrayed.

In Julius Caesar’s life‚ he was loved very much by his followers‚ though he was greatly feared but many others. People claim he thirsted for power and wasn’t doing much to help build Rome’s empire. I believe that Julius was a hero of Rome for his expansion of the empire‚ support of the poor‚ and help for the common people. Of course‚ Caesar did many things to help Rome. For example‚ he expanded Rome’s empire by winning countless wars and being a ruthless general. A major accomplishment of Caesar
