Julious_Caesar

Julious Caesar To the citizens of Rome, Caesar was thought to be a hero. He had conquered Pompeii and Rome hailed Caesar a great general. Caesar did not want to just be a leader, though; he wanted to become king. To Caesar this was his ambition, but then he wanted to become dictator for life. To some senators, this made them fear him becoming dictator, but they also feared the future of Rome. Caesar's ambition was to become king, but in a crowd-pleasing fashion. Meaning he did not want to leap right in and look too anxious, that is why he refused the crown three times from Marc Antony. He was going about it in a roundabout way. The Romans had set up a republic government and the last king had been overthrown 450 years ago, but this did not stop Caesar's ambition in becoming king of the "free Romans". This was just unthinkable. Caesar did have a suspicion of some of the Senators. He was not suspicious of his life, but suspicious Cassius and Brutus plotting a revolution.
