week5 : Julius caser After eliminating his rivals in a civil war, general and politician Gaius Julius Caesar began serving as dictator of Rome in 49 BCE. He established several political reforms before getting stabbed to death on the Ides of March in 44 BCE. This sparked another civil war that doomed the Roman Republic to mutate into an empire with Caesar's adopted heir Octavian at the helm. Nowadays, Caesar is still considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His name is also synonymous with cults of personality and political strongmen. Often, we got to start out as a large fish in a small pond to succeed as a leader. Caesar understood this. He climbed back into a position of power, even after losing his inheritance in a coup as a young man. caser's story is a great idea from nothing to a leader, my risk was to choose my major and have a great feeling of success.
Venice is one of my bucket list places to visit.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Venice let alone Italy. I really want to visit as my family has roots there. I would love to see the coast and take a boat ride as well. I think what I would be looking forward to most is the food. I would be eating all the pizza and pasta I could get my hands on.
ReplyDeleteVenice is one of the places I want to visit most. I would love to see the culture, the different surroundings and ride one of the gondolas. I want to go to Europe to experience the different architecture and to taste how different the food is.
