It’s time for you to show what you know about the historical figures from Ancient Rome. For this project, you will do research, and create a Fake book page for the person you selected. Please
look over the Fake book page for Julius Caesar located on your teacher’s webpage. You will be able to edit that file, by finding the same information that pertains to the person you have
researched. Remember to use it as a guide for completing your own. All of this information may not be in the research you completed, but try to fill in information for all parts based on what you
researched about the person and be creative!

Timeline of Events
Information
The Rome of Caesar’s youth was unstable. An element of disorder ruled the
Republic, which had discredited its nobility and seemed unable to handle its
considerable size and influence.
Birthday:
c. July 12, 100 BCE
Place of birth:
Rome Italy
As Caesar was cultivating his political partnership with Pompey, the astute leader
was also aligning himself with Marcus Licinius Crassus, a Roman general and
politician who’d served valiantly during Sulla’s rule. (c.69-68 BC)
Place of Death:
Rome Italy
Occupation:
General, Dictator
Death Date:
March 15, 44 BCE
Upon his return to Rome, Caesar was made dictator for life and hailed as the
Father of his Country. For Caesar and his countrymen, his rule proved
instrumental in reforming Rome. (c. 48 BC)
Friends
Caesar’s wish to include his former Roman enemies in the government helped
spell his downfall. Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus were
both former enemies who’d joined the Senate. Together, the two of them led
the assissination of Caesar on the Ides of March (the 15th), 44 BC.
Pompey
Crassus
Brutus
Octavian
Caesar’s great-grand nephew, Gaius Octavian, assembled an army to fight back the
military troops defending Cassius and Brutus. His victory over Caesars assassins
allowed Octavian, who would assume the name Augustus, took power in 27 BC and
became the first Roman emperor.
