Julius Caesar or Augustus?

Who do you think was a more important leader, Caesar or Augustus? Explain your
answer using details and relevant facts to support your opinion.

Both Julius Caesar and Augustus were important leaders. However, there had to be one leader who was more important, which was Augustus, in my opinion. Firstly, I thought about how they died- did one of them die because they were too old, or was one of them murdered? Julius Caesar died because he was murdered by the Senate. Augustus lived for a long time. This already tells us who might have been better. Julius Caesar was a military man, he preferred to ignore the Senate, but rule them. He was powerful, but not so political, in contrast to Augustus Octavian. Augustus was astonishing. He refused to gain power, because he gave the Senators the power they needed. Augustus controlled the Senate, but he didn’t show it, he had rather help them. He also kept the military business busy from Italy, other rulers who didn’t do this were overthrown. They both knew that the Roman Empire no longer existed. Augustus tried to retain it, to bring it back and to build another one, while Julius Caesar didn’t care and moved on to ruling the Senate.
As a result, Caesar was selfish and only wanted his life to be great, he wanted to be the ruler of the Senate and other military businesses, in contrast to Augustus, who was caring and tried his best to help the Senate and other political businesses.

Julius Caesar: A Reformer or a Dictator?

                                                              

                                                               JULIUS CAESAR: REFORMER
I am a poor Plebian man who doesn't own a farm like the rich ones do, the Patricians. I find this quite unfair and I hope to have a better future with my wife, five kids and an uncle who has two sons. Some say our future will be better, some say it won’t, but who knows, I guess I’ll just have to find out. One day, I was surprised. The great Julius Caesar arrived! At first I didn’t know who he was, or what he did, or even what he was meant to do. So, this is what I found out. Julius Caesar is a famous writer, speaker, politic and philosopher now-a-days. He was born in 100 BCE and loves sport. A few days later, I found out some local news. I was fascinated. This is my thought of him: Caesar is a legend. He started public job programs to aid us! Also, instead of being against the Patricians and other citizens, he granted the Roman citizenship to people from many other foreign countries and city-sates. I am very grateful for the Reformer Caesar. People say that he became an enemy when he refused to follow the Senate's order to return to Rome, and he also increased the number of senators to add up to his supporters list. I do not believe this, at all! This is why I have absolute right to vote on Caesar as a reformer! He helped us more than ever! Caesar was also very ambitious and always wished for the best for himself- fame and power, of course. He has finally led us, the poorer, farm our own farms and set free from slavery to the Patricians. I am so happy! My family and friends are finally able to do whatever we want.

The Legend of Rome

                                                           THE LEGEND OF ROME

There are two legends that describe the foundation of Rome. The two legends include twin brothers, Romulus and Remus. The twins grew up in Tiber River. If it wasn’t for the female wolf that saved them from their death there, they would have died. Romulus and Remus decided to build a city when they grew slitely a bit older. However, they were selfish and greedy and worked on it in two different sites. They argued over who’s vultures were better and bigger, one had 6 and the other had 12. Once Remus made fun of Romulus’s city, he snapped and decided to kill his twin brother. At last, Remulus took over and became the king/leader of Rome. He also named Rome after his own name. In reality, no historians or archaeologists know the exact date of when Rome was founded because it dated back a long time ago, but some say it was found in 753 BC.  As time went by, everything has improved in Rome. A form of government; republic and monarchy was formed, isolated settlements on seven hills united together to establish Rome, and the city was extended and agricultural & trade industries were developed. However, the Latins were also part of something. The Latins were local people, and they became Legions- in order to protect themselves from invaders. This is where real Rome has started as a political country. All in all, there were many, many, myths that tell who founded Rome, and how it was founded, but this one is one of the most reliable legend of the two twin brothers.
