"Gaius Julius Caesar was born by Caesarian section, according to legend, to Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor, on July BCE. His family had noble patrician roots but they were not rich or influential during the period of his birth. His aunt Julia on his father's side was the wife of Gaius Marius, the leader of the Popular faction who had saved the Roman Republic several years earlier by defeating two German tribes, the Teutones and the Cimbri."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at Aurelia Cotta who was a strong, intelligent woman from ancient Roman times who took wonderful care of her family. The writer notes that without Aurelia, there would have never been a Gaius Julius Caesar who was a powerful Roman military and political leader. The writer discusses Aurelia's life and notes that her parents were very influential political people of Rome. She married Gaius Julius Caesar (the elder) and had three children with him. The writer then discusses that her most well known "achievement" was raising their son Gaius Julius Caesar, who also held a high political status in Rome. She was well liked by the people of Rome and was a very strong, intelligent woman. The writer concludes that Aurelia did what was necessary to raise a family that was both successful and powerful in Ancient Roman times.

From the Paper
" Women in Ancient Rome lacked the rights that the women of today have but they were expected to produce children to populate Rome and they were also supposed to help raise their children. It was a requirement that Roman women produce children for their husbands so that they could populate Rome because the Roman people were always concerned about their legacies. They were also expected to teach their sons and daughters Roman culture. They were especially expected to teach their daughters Roman culture so that one day they, in turn, could teach these customs and principles to their sons and daughters."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the characters Okonkwo from Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' and Julius Caesar from Shakespeare's play, focusing on the problem of pride.

From the Paper
"The character Okonkwo in 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe and the character Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar are both very much alike in some ways and different in others. Both characters are tragic figures who die a violent death, Okonkwo by his own hand and Julius Caesar by the hands of a group of conspirators in the Roman Senate that includes his closest friend Brutus. Both Okonkwo and Julius Caesar have a fatal flaw-a stubborn resistance to acknowledging the truth-that ..."

Abstract
This paper compares the similarities of two literary characters. More specifically, the paper compares and contrasts the character of Ahab from Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" with the character of Julius Caesar from Shakespeare's famous story of the same name. The paper concludes that like "Moby Dick", "Julius Caesar" is a historical incident which Shakespeare puts meaning into in retrospect, imbuing the characters with traits which we admire or hate and placing around them others who seemingly act only in accordance with fate.

Ways in which Ahab and Julius are similar
Ways in which Ahab and Julius Caesar are different

From the Paper
"Caesar is hard to like. Ahab is also hard to like, but he appears more sympathetic as he is so dogged in his quest of the white whale. Ahab is shown to be a brooding and dark character that we sometimes see in literature, ambiguously evil, yet we sympathize with his madness. He sacrifices everything, including his life and his crew to capture Moby Dick, whom he has sought for so long: "Now it was that there lurked a something in the old man's eyes, which it was hardly sufferable for feeble souls to see. As the unsetting polar star, which through the livelong, arctic, six months' night sustains its piercing, steady, central gaze; so Ahab's purpose now fixedly gleamed down upon the constant midnight of the gloomy crew." (Melville, Chapter 130).
"The book Moby Dick is about a quest and a challenge to the universe in which Ahab lives. He will fight it to the death because he believes he can conquer it. He does not know that no matter how big he may be, it is bigger than he, but he will die in the attempt. "He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." (Melville, Chapter 135). Like Moby Dick, Julius Caesar is a historical incident which Shakespeare puts meaning into in retrospect, imbuing the characters with traits which we admire or hate and placing around them others who seemingly act only in accordance with fate."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, although both Julius Caesar and Augustus improvised political strategies to support their respective dominance of the Roman world, Augustus was successful while Julius Caesar was not due to the respect that Augustus paid to the formalities and conventions of Roman political life. The paper looks at how Julius Caesar relied on the overt exercise of power and relegated the senate to a marginal position in the state and how, in comparison, Augustus employed power in covert ways and understood that he could retain absolute power as long as he paid "lip service" to republican values.

From the Paper
"The office of "dictator" in the Roman Republic was a position that granted its holder extraordinary powers. It was thus rarely granted by the state, and usually in times of emergency when a unified command was critical to the survival of Rome. However, given the echoes of absolute royal power in this office, Romans carefully limited the powers of the office to six months or the duration of the emergency; whichever was shorter (BGT 26-27). Julius Caesar, in his calculated political improvisation in a time of Civil War, relied heavily upon repeated grants of the dictatorship to give a veneer of legitimacy and legal authority to his supreme military and political power. In February 44, Caesar finally decided to assume the dictatorship for life as a matter of convenience (BGT 160)."

Abstract
This paper explains that to have absolute control or power over another human being, or, in the case of Julius Caesar, an entire nation, is an awesome responsibility. If the person in authority is convinced that their way is the only way, it can only produce negative results. The author points out that Julius Caesar is known in Roman history as the first dictator who was declared Dictator for Life with no limit on how long he could remain a ruler and retain his ultimate power over the people. The paper relates that, prior to his assassination, Caesar faced steadily growing opposition from the senators of Rome, who believed that he would put an end to the Republic and that he was a threat to all Roman traditions. However, the assassination only led to the renewal of civil wars and ultimately the Roman Republic was finally destroyed.

From the Paper
"Caesar lived his live by the motto, that he himself said "I came, I saw, I conquered!". These words expressed his incredible strong will and compelling attitude. He was also known as being very courageous and quick-witted. More than anything else this motto declared his definite need to control and conquer all he came into contact with. Caesar had ambitious plans for changing Rome and proposed to make a digest of the whole Roman law to found libraries, to drain the Pontine Marshes, to enlarge the harbor at Ostia, to dig a can throughout Isthmus, and to launch a war against the Dacians in Europe and the Parthiians in the East."

Abstract
This essay studies William Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar". It approaches the antagonism of both Caesar and the conspirators and the motivations of the conspirators. The themes of political achievement and popular responsibility are also discussed.

From the Paper
"Caesar was popular on the streets. His popularity was his source of power. Manipulation is a vice of politicians; on the converse side, influence is a political virtue. These are characteristics of Caesar. Because of his popularity, he can do anything he wants, as the Plebes rule Rome indirectly. This sets the stage for the political statement of the play. As there is an order set, this pure democracy of Rome is one of a kind. The people cast no votes as a whole, but only the elite. However, the approval of the Plebes is the primary concern of all politicians in Rome. This power of the people, however, is flexible in an uneducated society, as is most of Rome. Those who ran the politicians could easily be persuaded by those they ran (i.e. the politicians), who offered supremacy to Caesar."
