ABSTRACT
Julius Gmsar Rome in Greek in eighty books of which little remain except those covering 69 B.C. to A.D. 46. Epitomes made in Byzantium in the eleventh and twelfth centuries give some idea of the rest. A supporter of the Emperors, Dio Cassius expatiated on the wavering nature of the Roman people. Cresar's difficulties with his soldiers, who expected large rewards, are shown, and the mixture of cunning and kindliness with which he treated them. His triumphs are described at length, his arrogant showmanship, his projected reforms, and the undemocratic privileges offered him by the Senate-the title of Imperator and decrees 'by which they declared him a monarch out and out'. Brutus was roused to plot against him when an image of Cresar was set up on the Capitol along with those of the kings and of the Brutus who overthrew the Tarquins.
