Julius Caesar was one of the greatest leader ever existed in
ancient time and it is supported by many historians who believe that the
superiority of Rome was because of Julius Caesar. However, Julius Caesar
behaviour in order to protect Rome was unnecessary and can be classified as
cruel.
All Julius Caesar’ vices were against the morality and
humanity which are qualities that supposed to have in a good leader. Julius Caesar
watched 20,000 of women and children died in starvation just because he did not
let the people passed the circumvallation to protect his army. It seems that he
was willing to do anything to protect his army and Rome nevertheless by sacrifying
other people and have no intention to help them was unacceptable behaviour. It shows
that he was conscious his power than people’s life. Besides, he also ordered
his army to cut off all survivors’ hands as a warning for those who were trying
to against him. This act shows that he used a brutal way to scare the people
off without thinking the consequences and the circumstances that should be
faced by the people who had lost their hands for no reason.
In addition, he
always tried to dominate many countries by having bloody battles. The example is
when he approached to Avaricum where a battle had held and about 39,000 of men,
women and children had been slaughtered by his soldiers. There are many other
ways that can be applied to dominate a country and by killing innocence people,
this cannot be described as a victory but as a lost. Other than that, Caesar had
slept with women including his friends’ wives and it shows that he had lost his
mind for power. He did so to show his dominance over the women and
automatically over the husbands.
In conclusion, based on the reasons I has given below, it
shows that Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to protect Rome
because it against the morality and humanity that should be had in a great
leader.
Julius Caesar may be a bad ass but you have to admit his skills in commanding Rome and his army and how he crush his enemy with superior military strategy
ReplyDeleteWhat I can say here, you have good point and explanation. I become more understand when I read your blog. Of course I agree with you. Julius Caesar is a cruel man even though he is known as a Superior man. Matiin Hanafy, your comment above is irony.
ReplyDeleteMatiin, you always support cruel leader such as Adolf Hitler. Are you a cruel person as well? HAHA
ReplyDeleteI was stating facts , not giving opinion.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me I'm wrong, based on the reason below or based on the reason above ;)
ReplyDeleteThe facts is , he died because people afraid he will become a tyrant, which means he is cruel. enough said.
ReplyDeleteThank you acap :)
DeleteSorry I've a bad language. However at the moment there is a reason why Caesar done such a thing because there's no diplomatic meeting or skills in order to rule the empire. By becoming a tyrant is the only way to rule everything and gain respect for people. Its a good advantages for Rome. If you look after the Caesar death, lots of chaos had happen and most of em are the internal issues among the Rome empire ruler. In addition Rome had lost respect by other country as well.
ReplyDeleteYes I agreed that Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to protect Rome because it shows that he is not thoughtful to be a great leader.
ReplyDeletei totally agree with you, Lia! Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to protect Rome because he is very cruel, inhumane and can't be a good leader :)
