why revolutions which are in the right do not
always succeed against forms of government which
are in the wrong. " Bloom claims that although
Caesar is unable to achieve his personal goal of
winning the hearts i...

in its full glory, is probably the most
complicated calendar based on integer arithmetic
that has ever existed. While lunar and lunisolar
calendars do exist that are very complex, most of
them are based on observation, as in starting a
month when the moon is in a particular stage, or
on floating point calculations that for all
practical purposes simply replace such
observation. The Maya did not have algebra, but
they had an enormous advantage ove...

Essay: How Were Women Treated in Julius Caesars
Time? By: Andrew Millard We are always striving
for equality between the sexes. For many years
women were seen as being less than men, and
inferior to them. This is shown simply by one
history-altering incident. The incident that Im
referring to is when the women were finally
allowed to vote. It was quite a long time after
the men were able to vote that they received the
right to do so as well. It is also shown on older
television shows in which th...

Such men (Cassius) are dangerous I fear him not.
Political nobility, thus, is formed with just
reason to threaten Rome, yet at the same time
portraying characteristics not of an antagonist.
