As I remember it from a particularly fascinating history course (they were ALL fascinating, mind you), Rome’s armies were fighting for the Pax Romana all over the frog’s pond and there were no soldiers left to face this new barbarian threat.

As the senate was debating what to do, an old senator stood up and said "I’ll take care of this!"

He then set out to meet the barbarian horde on a donkey, with but a few slaves accompanying him. No centurions, no cohorts, no centuries. Just him, a broken old dude in a toga.

He eventually met the horde and demanded to speak to their leader. He said :

"Rome orders you to stop right here and go home."

The barbarian king was so impressed that Rome would send a weak old man to stop an army that he did just that.

And thus was Rome saved for another day…

If it changes at any point in Rome’s history please outline said change.

I have to study Julius caesar and need to view it through conflicting perspectives. I am unsure of what the conflicting perspectives are? Thinking they are the views of Caesar assassination and whether he really wanted to take over rome?

I am unsure of how these c.p are represented in the play and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

Since Brutus would have been heir to Caesar’s inheritance, what do you think would have happened next? Do you think Antony would have taken Rome, or Brutus? Would the Republic have been reinstated or was the Republic effectively dead due to Sulla or the Triumvirate?
Sorry, predeceased Caesar!

I have a history song I have to make about Julius Caesar. One of the things that have to be included in the song is what the affect on Rome was when Caesar came into power. So does anybody know? Thanks

What effect did Julius Caesar have over Rome?

I need the longest possible answer you can give about what effect Julius Caesar had on Rome and Europe. I know that he "laid the foundation" for the Roman empire, but I need more than that. Details. Pleeeease!

Julius Caesar: I know the stuff he did before his dictatorship and some during, but how did his start of dictatorships benfit the citizens of Rome?

I need a clever wordplay on Caesar the Dictator of Rome, and Caesar Salad. I’m having a brain fart and I can’t think of anything worthy of being a Forum Signature. My avatar is the dictator.

Here’s something I’ve thought of:

"I also come in salad form."

I need something better than that.

How should i recite my lines for Julius Caesar?

I have to recite these lines from Julius Caesar infront of my class..

Friends, Romans, countrymen, give me your attention. I have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do is remembered after their deaths, but the good is often buried with them. It might as well be the same with Caesar. The noble Brutus told you that Caesar was ambitious. If that’s true, it’s a serious fault, and Caesar has paid seriously for it. With the permission of Brutus and the others—for Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men—I have come here to speak at Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. He brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city.

Basically Marc Antony is saying how Caesar was a good guy and he did not deserve to die… but i have to memorize these lines and preform them in front of my class and i dont know what should i do ?? what kind of props should i use. Everyone else is going to just get a TOGA but i wanna do something diffrnet PLEASE HELP1!!!

"I’ve witnessed time in all its splendor
Like pure love’s grasp, mighty but tender;
I stretch the sea from shore to shore
I am like nothing known before.
Built by the mighty Roman army
I lie for all the world to see;
I am a way, a road,
Built to carry life’s heavy load.

I’ve witnessed many Roman victories
But happiness never came from these;
I linked the large and laughing families in Rome
Trade and government, I am their home.
Made four-fold in depth and strong in might,
Poor in heart but noble in sight:
Those events, I’ve witnessed them all
Both those great and those small.

I’ve witnessed public fame
But from this happiness never came.
The public baths the Romans flocked to,
By me they came and not by few;
Men with their togas and women with their hair
Each person’s load I had to bear;
I carried the Roman grand parades;
All across the empire I was made.

I’ve witnessed time in its blast
But I knew it would not last;
I’ve witnessed the splendor and the wealth
But like Midas’s gold it could not bring me health.
Only a few of me are left around
These Roman roads can be found;
They still are used, not by their fame or glory,
But by their strength: that’s the story."

I NEED THE TRANSLATION BY MONDAY! PLEASEEE help? The money will help buy my SAT study guide that I SO BADLY need!! Thank you!
