ReplyDeleteI think Julius Caesar was a Great Reformer because he did good things to even help others. even though he did bad things their may be a reson for why he did that bad thing. Such as he destoyed people in a cruel way;they might have meet before and the enimy might have made him mad. Also i just think that he did better good things then he did good bad things.
ReplyDeletei think he is a great reformer because he helped create jobs and expanded rome
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that Caesar was a great reformer because all the things that he did was great such as bringing order and peace to rome.
ReplyDeleteI think that Julius Ceasar is a bad, cruel dictator. I think this because he often treated defeated areas badly and basically refused to do what the senate said to do. He punished those who did not uphold the traditions and laws of the republic. He kept hidden facts about him so he could gain more power. He was a power monster with cruel thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI think Caesar was a Great reformer. Because he started jobs to program to aid the poor. And that he ended the rule of corrupted ronman nobles. And brought order and peace to rome.
ReplyDeleteSo that is why i think he is a great reformer!
my vote is braking even, i think he is a good leader but a taruble person.
ReplyDeleteI think that he was a good guy. He didn't win that opinion by much, though. He had done a lot of bad, but all of the bad things were things that people anywhere would do, such as hide facts that would bring down their reputation. But things that he did that were good, helped a lot of people. For example, he helped the poor. That probably meant a lot to the poor people. He helped a lot of people get citizenship to Rome. I think altogether that he was a pretty good guy. I think that it was extremely unfair that he was killed because people were afraid that he had too much power. Had he done anything drastically bad with that power. I sure don't think so!
ReplyDeleteI think he was a Great Reformer.
