Julius Caesar

BY: ISAIAH, KORAN, EDEN, LILLIAN, AND THOMAS

Brief Background
Julius Caesar was a highly ambitious Roman politician, and general
who is responsible for the demise of the Roman Republic, and the
rise of the Roman Empire. After being told to surrender his military
position, Julius Caesar refused, and crossed into forbidden territory
sparking civil war. He led one side of the war, and came out on top.
He became emperor for a shot time before he was eventually
assassinated. This led to more civil war, and Caesars adopted heir,
Octavius, won this time, and became emperor. He did away with the
Roman Republic, and made the Roman Empire

"Julius Caesar" by William

Shakespeare

"Julius Caesar" is a play that was written in 1599 by William

Shakespeare. The play describes the time before and after the
assassination of Julius Caesar. It shows the fall of the Roman
Republic, and rise of the Roman Empire. It shows the betrayal the
Roman Senate showed to Julius. However, it's a play by a
mysterious, unknown man about a time that he wasn't even alive
for. So, take it's, "accuracy" with a grain of salt.
