Vote To Keep Julius Caesar Alive

313 Words2 Pages
Good Morning Fellow Senators, Today I am here to discuss why Julius Caesar should be kept alive. Julius Caesar was a good man, and he has done many good things for Rome. He is a brilliant war general, and the public love him, and he is the dictator of Rome. And I would like to convince you to keep him alive. First of all, Julius Caesar is a brilliant war general. Caesar has traveled to many different places around Rome, and doesn’t often lose battles. A prime example is how he was in Gaul(modern day France) for 9 years and only lost 2 battles.And due to his triumph in Gaul, the Roman empire has been extended all the way to the English Channel. After he fought in Gaul, Caesar has had fame and money, and this brings me into my second point.

Caesar’s military accomplishments played a vital role in restoring Rome. The various endeavours Caesar undertook as a military commander during the 58 – 50 BC Gallic wars benefitted Rome immensely, as Caesar subdued Gaul, made leeway in previously uncharted Britain, (source 5) established loyalties and increased the state of finances. Plutarch, a Greek-born Roman historian, praises “Caesars achievements [which] surpass [that of the greatest generals]” (source 5). Despite a one century detachment from events and pro-imperial nature (unseen), Plutarch offers a fairly reliable viewpoint.
