I quote Lunatock, "He couldn't of been a Dicatator, the Common Roman's all loved him. That's why Brutus and the other Senate members stabbed him in the back. Literally."
He is claiming that he could not be a dictator because he was popular with the common Roman. I then claimed that Adolf Hitler was popular as well but he is still considered a dictator.

Ah, I see.
It seems to me the purpose of making this thread wasn't to compare and discuss the merits of Caesar or Cicero (two very dissimilar men, imo), but rather, a sly attempt to bash Julius Caesar because he was a dictator."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."

Well, it is up to each poster to decide which way he wants to approach it.
I don't know enough about Cicero to properly compare the two men.

He was one of the greatest exponents of individual liberty in the ancient world. He urged Brutus to kill Caeser in an effort to salvage the Republican System and Republican Liberties.Last edited by Praxus; 16 Aug 04,, 03:38.
