  3. during Ceasers reign he was a very considerate merciful leader unlike Sulla and did what he had to do and conquered much land without becoming an evil power-hungry tyrant

  4. Did Caesar start ruling in 45 bc? The book says “in the year 45 bc he set himself to rule” and I don’t know what it means.

    1. I think that just one stab in the right place would be enough to kill someone. I guess, “Kill ’em, even if they’s already dead.” (That’s from The Tale of Desperaux), but i dunno. Maybe he wasn’t dead?

  5. Why would the conspirators think that he would overthrow the government he worked so hard to build? Caesar was a good leader, and he took care of the people.

    Where did Caesar keep his armies? In his sleevies.

  6. I didn’t think Caesar would overthrow the government he built either. Caesar was a very good leader who did good things for his home.
