Caesar at the biography
Biography Biography is a courageous man and seducer of women Gai Julius Caesar-the great Roman commander and the emperor, famous for military exploits, as well as the character, because of which the name of the ruler became a household name. Julius is one of the most famous rulers who were in power in ancient Rome. The exact date of birth of this person is unknown, it is generally accepted by historians that Guy Julius Caesar was born in G.
at least, historians of most countries use this date, although in France it is believed that Julius was born in a year. The German historian, who lived at the beginning of the 19th century, was sure that Caesar was born to the city. Such disagreements of biographers are caused by ancient primary sources: ancient Roman scientists also disagreed on the true date of the birth of Caesar.
The Roman emperor and commander came from the noble family of the Patrician Yuliev. Legends tell that this dynasty began with Aeneas, which, according to ancient Greek mythology, became famous in the Trojan War. And the parents of Aeneas are a native of the family of Dardan kings of the enchis and the goddess of beauty and love of Aphrodite in Roman mythology of Venus. Julia knew the story of the divine origin of the Roman nobilita, because this legend was successfully sprinkled with the relatives of the ruler.
Caesar himself, at a convenient case, liked to remember that the gods were in his family. Scientists put forward hypotheses that the Roman ruler comes from the Juliev clan, which were the ruling estate at the beginning of the founding of the Roman Republic in the 5th - 4th centuries BC. Scientists also put forward various assumptions about the nickname of the Emperor Caesar.
Perhaps one of the dynasty Juliev was born through Cesarean section. The name of the procedure comes from the word Caesarea, which means "royal." In another opinion, someone from the Roman family was born with long and sloppy hair, which was designated by the word “Caeserius”. The family of the future politician lived in abundance. Caesar's father Gai Julius served in a public office, and his mother came from a noble kind of cottage.
Although the commander’s family was wealthy, Caesar spent his childhood in the Roman district of Subura. This area was full of women of easy behavior, and the poor lived there as well. Antique historians describe Subur as a dirty and raw area, devoid of intelligentsia. Caesar's parents sought to give his son an excellent education: the boy studied philosophy, poetry, oratory, and also developed physically, studied equestrian sport.
Scientist Gall Mark Anthony Gnipho taught young Caesar literature and etiquette. Whether the young man was engaged in serious and exact sciences, such as mathematics and geometry, or history and jurisdiction - biographers are unknown. Guy Julius Caesar received a Roman education, from childhood the future ruler was a patriot and was not influenced by fashionable Greek culture.
Approximately in 85g. Julius lost his father, so Caesar, as the only man, became the main breadwinner. When the boy was 13 years old, the future commander was elected to the priests of the main god in the Roman mythology of Jupiter - this title is one of the main posts of the then hierarchy. However, this fact cannot be called the young man's pure merits, because the sister of Caesar, Julia, was married to Mary, the ancient Roman commander and politician.
But, in order to become Flamingus, according to the law, Julius had to marry, and the military chief of Cornelius Qing, he offered the boy the role of the priest chose the chosen one for Caesar - his own daughter Cornelius Cyilla. In 82, Caesar had to escape from Rome. The reason for this was the inauguration of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, who began dictatorial and bloody policy.
Sulla Felix presented Caesar to divorce Cornelia with his wife, but the future emperor refused, which provoked the anger of the current commander. Caesar was deprived of the title of flamin, as well as giving his wife and his own property. Julia had to escape from the Great Empire to the poor clothes. Friends and relatives asked Sulla to take pity on Julia, and because of their petition, Caesar was returned to his homeland.
In addition, the Roman emperor did not see the danger in the person of Julia and said that Caesar was the same as Mari. But life under the leadership of Sulla Felix was unbearable for the Romans, so Guy Julius Caesar went to the Roman province located in Asia Minor to learn military craft. There, he became an ally of Mark, Minuria Term, lived in Bethino and Cilicia, and also participated in the war against the Greek city of Methylene.
Participating in the capture of the city, Caesar saved the soldier, for which he received the second most important reward - the civilian crown of an oak wreath. In 78 BC. The initiator was the military leader and consul Mark Emili Lepid. Mark invited Caesar to participate in the uprising against the emperor, but Julius refused. After the death of the Roman dictator, in 77 BC, Caesar tries to bring to the judicial responsibility of the two minions of Felix: Gneya Cornelia Dolabell and Guy Anthony Gabrid.
Julius appeared before the judges with a brilliant oratorical speech, but the Sullan managed to avoid punishment.Caesar accusations were recorded in manuscripts and parted in ancient Rome. However, Julius considered it necessary to improve the oratory skills and went to Rhodes: the teacher of Cicero, Rhetoria Apollonius Molon lived on the island. On the way to Rhodes, Caesar was captured by local pirates who demanded a ransom for the future emperor.
Being captive, Julius was not afraid of the robbers, but, on the contrary, joked with them and told poems. After liberation from the hostages, Julius equipped the squadron and went to captivate the pirates. The trousers' court failed to provide Caesar, so he decided to execute the offenders. But due to the softness of character, Julius initially ordered them to kill, and then redeem on the cross so that the robbers would not suffer.
Julius became part of the highest college of priests, which was previously ruled by the brother of Caesar, Gai Aurelius Kotta. Two years later, the future emperor receives the position of Roman magistrate and is engaged in the improvement of the capital of Italy, organizing celebrations, and helps the poor. And also, having received the title of senator, appears on political intrigues, which is gaining popularity.
Caesar participated in Leges Frumentariae "bread laws", according to which the population acquired bread at a reduced price or received free of charge, and also in years BC. Caesar became a pronsil, by this time Italy owned the province of Narbon Gaul the territory of present -day France. Julius went to negotiations with the leader of the Celtic tribe in Genev, as the Helvetes began to move due to the invasion of the Germans.
Thanks to the oratory, Caesar managed to persuade the leader of the tribe not to step into the territory of the Roman Empire. However, the helvetes went to the middle Gaul, where Eduy lived, the allies of Rome. Caesar who pursued the Celtic tribe defeated their army. At the same time, Julius defeated the Germanic Svevov, who attacked the Gallic lands located on the Rhine River.
After the war, the emperor wrote an essay on the conquest of Galia "Notes of the Gallic War." In 55 BC, the Roman military leader were defeated by the Germanic tribes, later Caesar himself decided to visit the territory of the Germans. Caesar is the first commander of Ancient Rome, who made a military campaign in the Rhine: Julia’s detachment moved along a specially built Metrovoy Bridge.
However, in Germany, the army of the Roman commander did not delay, and he made an attempt to camp on the possession of Britain.
There, the military leader won a number of crushing victories, but the position of the Roman army was unstable, and Caesar had to retreat. In addition, in 54 BC. Julius is forced to return to Gaul in order to suppress the uprising: the Gauls surpassed the Roman army in number, but were defeated. By 50 BC, Gai Julius Caesar restored the territories belonging to the Roman Empire.
During the hostilities, Caesar showed strategic qualities and diplomatic art, he knew how to manipulate the Gallic leaders and inspire contradictions in them. The dictatorship after the seizure of Roman power Julius became a dictator and used the situation. Caesar changed the composition of the Senate, and also transformed the social system of the empire: the lower classes ceased to chase in Rome, because the dictator was canceled by subsidies and reduced bread.
Also, being in the post, Caesar is engaged in the construction: in Rome a new building named after Caesar was erected, where the Senate meeting was held, and the patroness of love and the Yulianov, the goddess of Venus, was erected on the central square of the capital of Italy. Caesar was called the emperor, his images and sculptures were decorated with temples and streets of Rome.
Each word of the Roman commander was equated with the law. Julia's third wife was Kalpurnia Pizonis, which came from a noble plebeian family and was a distant relative of Caesar's mother. Married to the commander was given the girl in 59 BC. If we talk about the sexual life of Caesar, then the Roman dictator was loving and had ties with women on the side. There are also rumors that Julius Caesar was bisexual and entered into carnal joys with men, for example, historians recall youth relations with Nicomed.
Perhaps such stories took place only because the Caesars tried to slander. If we talk about the famous lovers of the politician, then one of the women on the side of the military leader was Serville - the wife of Mark Yuni Bruta and the second bride of the consul Yunia Silana. Caesar was condescending to the love of Servi, so he tried to fulfill the desires of her son Brut, making him one of the first persons in Rome.
But the most famous woman of the Roman emperor is the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. At the time of the meeting with the ruler, who was 21 years old, Caesar was in fifty: the laurel wreath covered the bald head, and there were wrinkles on his face. Despite his age, the Roman emperor conquered the young beauty, the happy existence of lovers lasted 2.5 years and ended when the Caesars were killed.
It is known that Julia Caesar had two children: a daughter from his first marriage Julia and a son born of Cleopatra, Ptolemy Caesarion.The death of the Roman emperor died on March 15, 44 BC. The cause of death is the conspiracy of the senators who were indignant due to the four-year-old dictator. 14 people participated in the conspiracy, however, Mark Junius Brutus, the son of Servia, the mistress of the emperor, is considered the main thing.
Caesar endlessly loved Brut and trusted him, putting a young man in a higher position and protecting from difficulties. However, the devoted Republican Mark Junius for the sake of political goals was ready to kill the one who unlimitedly supported him. Some ancient historians believed that Brutus was the son of Caesar, since Servilia had a love relationship with the commander at the time of conception of the future conspirator, but this theory cannot be confirmed by reliable sources.
According to legend, the day before the conspiracy against Caesar, his wife Kalpurtia saw a terrible dream, but the Roman emperor was too gullible, besides he admitted himself to a fatalist - he believed in the predetermination of events. The conspirators gathered in the building where the Senate meetings were held, near the Pompei theater. No one wanted to become the sole killer of Julia, so the criminals decided that everyone would inflict one single blow to the dictator.
The ancient Roman historian Suetonius wrote that when Julius Caesar saw Brutus, he asked: “And you, my child? To the surprise of the conspirators, Caesar was named the only heir - Guy Octavian. Interesting facts of the life of Julia Caesar, as well as stories about the commander, are replete with interesting facts and riddles: the month of July is named after the Roman emperor; Contients of Caesar claimed that the emperor had attacks of epilepsy; During the gladiatorial battles, Caesar constantly wrote something on the sheets of paper.
