Caesar
would be shocked!! He was of the noblest Roman stock and of patrician rank meaning
he was from one of the oldest and most distinguished families of Rome.
Yes
he was! He prided himself on having a distinguished family genealogy that, according
to legend, sprung from the goddess Venus herself.
Unfortunately
your right. One of the personal qualities that irritated his rivals was his
unusual height. Caesar was tall for a Roman—six feet.
You’re
wrong here. Some members of the Roman Senate who feared he wanted to be king
stabbed Caesar to death. Caesar had no such ambitions, but his popularity with
the general masses and control of the government made them suspicious and fearful.
Your
answer is correct. Caesar made it a point to understand the needs of the poor
because he knew there was potentially great power if a leader could have their
support.
Wrong!
Surprising as it is, it was precisely his popularity with Rome’s poor
and disenfranchised that made him a threat to his enemies. Caesar legislated
many laws that helped the masses and infuriated the other nobles of his class.
