The Gruesome Murder Of The Roman Emperor - Julius Caesar (Throwback) by Racoon(m): 1:44pm On Sep 23, 2023 |
Long before the day he was assassinated, Caesar had been warned by a soothsayer named Spurinna that the Ides of March (March 15 on the Roman calendar) held great danger for him.#history #historyCaptain https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02jfVnrX4kpcQTA4pvQ2A2RujCGiR5ZMJxxAkU9rZBctKUjBZS1zw3vEmXmBZYhrMl&id=100076883204822&post_id=100076883204822_pfbid02jfVnrX4kpcQTA4pvQ2A2RujCGiR5ZMJxxAkU9rZBctKUjBZS1zw3vEmXmBZYhrMl&mibextid=Nif5oz 83 Likes 11 Shares

The simple moral lesson of this gory incident is the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" Hence always give rise to desperate intra-institutional power tussle. Brutu's being part of the conspiracy is justifying of the saying "a man's enemy are those of his own household." 178 Likes 8 Shares |

Racoon:The Liberators didn't hate their country but they were just afraid of his tyranny and dictatorship and fear that he could get worse This particular scenario reminds me of the relationship between the Nigerian politicians and their thugs After unleashing the thugs on the people during election, the elected politicians will retrieve the weapons from the thugs The thugs could have been regarded as the heroes if they had used the weapons to place the right leaders there just like the Roman Lower Class did but no! They remain a nobody/dead, exiled or forgotten While the villains remain leaders till date There is something to be learnt from this story but only the wise can relate ![]() 145 Likes 10 Shares |

Racoon: Caeser's assassination was justified because he had staged a coup on the Republic and declared himself supreme ruler over Rome - a title and position that was foreign to the Greeco-Roman democratic tradition. Caeser's treason was buoyed by his need to settle humongous debt he had piled up in his vain ambitions to aspire to the heights of the Greek General, Alexandria . His campaign in Gaul and Germany had been financed from Jewish money lenders and after finally conquering the northern lands, there was nothing to plunder to repay his loans to his Jewish lenders. Caeser will do the unfanthomable thing and set his eyes on Rome and for the treasury. Caeser was despised by most Roman scholars . He was only rehabilitated by Shakespeare which we now know was not the real author behind his plays but a certain Jew who courtered the English court. There were growing anti monarchial sentiments in England and a call for another charter for more democracy. Shakespeare's rendition of Julius Caesar as one who was unjustly murdered by a bunch of conspirators was meant to sway sympathy towards the reigning King and the monarchy. Julius Caesar is only remembered in good light because of Shakespeare and the. English nobility . To the average Roman back then he was a tyrant and deserved what he got. Julius Caesar gave us the English word : "Cease", that is to bring to an abrupt end. The reign of the Caesers saw to Rome's terminal descent into decay and eventual end. Jewish usury and one man's grand delusions saw to an entire democratic empire collapsed. Same thing is happening now in the JewSA. 92 Likes 11 Shares

I think this belongs here for I see the 0koro of an OP is subtly promoting a dictator just as the Buharist Zombies wanted to give Buhari fiat powers early in his dreadful adminstration. Just like the zombies of wretched memory, our 0koros are now glamourizing coups and clamouring for one in Nigeria. This topic by the insuferable Obidient OP is a subtle way of promoting dictators and I believe he wants to draw parallels with Ironsi's rightful execution to that of Julius Caesar. There are similirities between Caeser and Ironsi for both were controlled by Jews and were above their heads in the affairs they had ventured into and the aftermath of their foolishness cost Rome her democracy and led to her decline. So this repost below is very relevant to counter the rubbish of glamourizing Caeser which the OP is doing. ImadeUReadThis: 7 Likes 1 Share |

Julius wasnt an Emperor He was just a Gov/head of a Roman Province He wanted to become an Emperor but couldnt actualize the dream His godson/ grandcousin Augustus Caesar was the First Roman Emperor.... Its still all fair as Caesar was added to the names of all Roman Emperors just to honor Julius, Plus, Augustus live to fulfill the livelong ambition of his Granduncle and mentor 49 Likes 3 Shares |

Julius read about Alexander and wondered why he could achieve so much when he died at 32 Julius desperately wanted to be immortalized and was just trying out anything possible It ended well for him as the month "JULY" was named after him August was named after "Augustus" to indicate that he came after Julius 103 Likes 14 Shares |

EmperorCaesar: He wasn't a governor but a Senator and part time General or rather a war lord seeking fortune and glory for himself. An extreme narcist and a tyrant who thought himself to be like Alexandria the Great. Caeser was a failure and was not celebrated by Romans. 16 Likes |

The life and historical account of Augustus Caesar shamed every atheist who never believed in the existence of Jesus Man died when Jesus was just 4 years. Somewhere around 4 B.C to 6 C.E If u believe in the historical account of Tacitus(A first century historian who wrote first on Augustus) and yet u dont believe his account on Jesus existence, then you're just being shallow and deliberately ignorant 63 Likes 9 Shares |

DomPerignon: Really? Even the most succesful Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar(Closely followed by Marcus Aurelius) wasnt celebrated either Just google "Tacitus on Augustus" Augustus forced history to be rewritten many times to hide his flaws and negative characters so much that aside Tacitus account(He lived barely 50years after Augustus died), other accounts made him appear like a true Augustus(Divine Chosen) Julius was a dictator, thats fine but i struggle to admit that he wasnt celebrated after his death July was named after him Caesar was incorporated into the names of like 10 Emperors after him, in a span that lasted over 100years yet even Julius himself wasnt an Emperor He couldnt have been celebrated more...Not even Marcus Aurelius was so immortalized 33 Likes 1 Share |

EmperorCaesar: The Plebs celebrated him for his generosity and exploits in conquering Gaul. The wise Senate knew him as an over ambitious tyrant who was heavily in debt. Caeser only took Rome to get to her treasury to repay his lenders who financed his military campaigns in Gaul and whom Caeser could not offset his debt to them owing to the fact that there was no loot in Germany . 4 Likes
