No.. the wife was loyal even when Ceasar brought Cleopatra home as a second widfe she remained loyal to Ceasar. At many points when his epilepsy took over him the same wife would help nurse and restore him. But I guess it was Cleopatra's beauty and the riches from Egypt which Rome was being funded upon that made Ceasar lost interest in his wife which could ultimately translate to why he didn't listen to her that day

Is there any website or book which happens to be a compendium of history that you know off and where I can download such?

When I was still in my school, there is this book(s) that looks like a compendium of classical works of 16th to 20th centuries ( I think). it is in volumes. I don't know the name, otherwise, I would have searched for it and download it or even buy the hard copy. It has some works like dantes hell, odessy etc.

I think you're referring to an Encyclopedia.
While in university I used to have latest version of Microsoft encarta where I spent most of my time on the history part. I enjoy the 3D illustrations and voice notes in some of the stories. But I think it was discontinued in 2009 or so.
But you can wiki almost anything now and good thing is wiki would usually suggest like stories

But there was another angle to it , and that was Julius C. Was warned by a certain man,who told him to beware of the ides of March. He never listened to the man. So, on the D day, while celebrating the ides of March, he saw the soothsayer who warned him not to attend and he mockingly said to the man( showing himself to him ) "the ides of March is here". Which the man answered and said these words that have now become famous:"Yes, the ides of March is here ; but not gone". We all know what later became of him that day.

Marry a woman yet has eyes outside for small small girls.
I always tell myself, "doesn't this man know that this curvy chic with flat tummy, if she spend one year with him, will lose shape like his wife?"

I just wonder what goes wrong.
It's not supposed to be so. Hitting the gym with your spouse will even help reduce her belly fat if that's the case.

Literature was sweet when books by Williams Shakespeare were part of the Literature books in Nigerian schools, Literature has become almost unrecognizable with the kind of literature books they prescribe for Nigerian literature students these days. They can mix it with our local books but totally eliminating the books that made literature interesting those good old days is a big NO for me undecided
If you are sure of this, I now understand why this generation is daft.

Lovely write-up,but i need to set some things straight .
1 . Julius gaius caesar was not an emperor . He was a dictator .
2 . That statement is disputed by historians .
3 . He was not from a poor home .

Please these corrections do not in any way diminish your outstanding work in making us revisit history,just try to always get your facts right .

Flat Tommy is the beauty of women and childbirth is not enough reasons to lose it. If you look closely, you'd discover that protruded tummy is more common amongst Nigerian women than any other part of the world, prolly because of what we eat maybe but hey, a reasonable woman should be able to manage her body weight joor.
However, this doesn't justify married men going after younger ladies or any form of extra marital affairs with anyone.

I know most Europeans aren't proud of saying how Ghengis Khan and his Mongolian hoards kicked their ass and gave them butt hurts for many years. Especially Russia and those in the Eastern and Central Europe, they don't give him enough credits for the conqueror that he was that today they instead use the word 'mongoloid' in a derogatory fashion. E.g "mongoloid idiot" But it was a Chinese general Master Sun Tzu that designed the principles pieced together today as the Art of War

There were two classes of people in Rome...
Julius was from the lower class.!
Regarding the Emperor dictator, it was more of both.
Rome has just started a new political structure and ceasar who was the ruler had the most power, but not absolute power. It was shared with the senate

This is also true.... Ceasar had so many signs pointing to his eventual slaughter

How would u ever believe those things?
you are correct, world history is vastly edited to favour a " particular group "
1. They did not tell us that the old Assyrians and Jews were dark skinned just like the Egyptians.
Syrian king konon
of Dura - Europos and all his family were black ( from archeological evidence such as paintings) you can google it.




2. There were many evidences of black presence in the Americas before Christopher Columbus discovered the place, many years before the transatlantic slave trade.

3 The influence of moors in the Iberian peninsula have been massively downplayed by modern history curriculum.

4. how on earth would mungo park discover river Niger? a river that has been in existence thousands of years before his birth in Scotland or Columbus discovering Americas despite stating in his books he met many "indigenous people" in most island waiving at his ship......maybe "discovery" means another thing entirely
it would be better if it is written like this "colombus discover Americas for the Portuguese" , going to someone's house and telling them that their orange tree is orange is a subtle way of saying they are dumb.

He was envious


Caesar sink into a shallow water...and he cried out to me ,help me Brutus or sink ,and with my shoulder did I carried him,so I can't believe that a man with such a feeble mind will ascend the throne and try to bear the brunt alone...

Survive multiple stab wounds.... Shey Na Superman ni
DAramis:


Yeah, I have also held that believe that Caesar would have definitely survived those dagger stabs all things being equal. He died as a result of being betrayed by someone he trusted most.

I think that is why, some scholars use it as a reference point in teaching pupils (back in the days) about treachery and betrayal by people. I always held the believe that Betrayal is far greater than actual death. Death is physical but betrayal by the least person you never expected it from kills everything in a person's life including emotion.

Don't be mistaken both of them had a similar quest. And when u consider the impact of their conquest Ceasar is greater

I will think Alexander the great, militarily is more successful and got all these conquest done at very young age. Julius become powerful through military and that earned him also a political position to Senate thru which he rose to become an emperor.

I would rather you compare Julius Ceaser to Augustus Ceaser (Octavian), which of them is more successful?
