Question: Why did Julius Caesar cross the Rubicon? Why did he stop fighting when his murderers were…?

…trying to kill him?
Not a fan of Wikipedia. I like your knowledge.

Answer: Caesar was coming off 10 years as a proconsul in Gaul where he was immune from prosecution as long as he held his proconsular imperium. His enemies in Rome were planning to prosecute him for alleged (and in large part real) illegalities prior to going to Gaul and for grossly overstepping his authority while in Gaul. His options were to lay down his imperium and get buried by his enemies in Rome or to march on Rome with his troops and take the place over. He chose the latter, and not without precedent, Sulla having done much the same a couple of decades earlier.

The story of his assassination is mostly myth and legend but “stopped fighting” isn’t exactly correct. The custom of Romans was to not allow your face to be visible to your enemies as you died in battle or, as here, while being assassinated. It had a long history. Once you knew it was hopeless you drew your toga over your face so your enemies couldn’t see your agony and “death face”.

Easy 10 points if you know about caesar. Thank you soooo much

Answer: i think all this is in Act V ,not Act IV

1. cassius sends titinius to his tent near the hills to check whether the soldiers present there are his friends or enemies. they were actually cassius’ people and welcomes titinius with a shout. but, pindarus misinterprets that they are the enemies and they shouted because they were able to capture titinius and tells cassius that titinius is captured which leads to cassius’ suicide.

2.when they marched towards philippi,the eagles that flew over them earlier over them were gone, and, ravens and crows took their place, circling over them as if they were their prey.[This is 1 omen]

3.cassius asks pindarus to kill him with the sword(the one which they used to kill caesar)after he closed his eyes and died so with caesar’s name on his lips.

4.brutus asks strato to hold his sword(the same one) while he runs onto it and dies with caesar’s name on his lips.

5.Brutus

6.Cassius

7.Antony

I think everything is correct(anyway,just check whether there eere some other omens in the play-2nd question)…wrote it from my memory…you can refer sparknotes if you want to(they are really good)….
Hope this helps

History and geography are not the property of anyone

Time is not the property of anyone.. Vaclav Havel at one moment believed that time belonged to him. Alexander had the same impression, until that impression was jolted by the fact that the limit of his time was Persepolis… and the Ganges River in India.

Britain’s ‘Racist’ Immigration Made Charlotte Larbi a Fraudster

Britain’s Winston Churchill loved his booze. He loved his cigar, too. And of course, he won his wars. But what we probably do not know about him is that he loved pigs more than every other animal. He once said: “I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
