Noticing they were a big family here and all were invited in to be a part of it for as long as you wanted, made him feel a little more relaxed.
“So Mr. Caesar, are you of Roman decent or any relation to, you know the original?”
“Guiles Julius Caesar,” he guessed.
Lily started to chuckle. “Yeah, that guy,” she said while dumping some unmarked spice onto a pile of leaves and twigs.
“Well first of all, the name Caesar was already ancient and highly respected before Guiles came along. The suffix –ar was highly unusual in the Latin language, which means it is highly likely the Caesars's origin is that of non-Latin. So it wouldn't be truly Roman ...” he trailed off. Realizing how much of a book worm he was coming across he finished quietly. “Originally that is.” He sat disheartened as Lily continued making his Monkey tea. “I'm sorry. I just took us to a whole new level of boredom,” he said breaking his own silence.
“No . .. maybe,” she giggled.
This didn't make him feel any better. “Sorry, I sometimes get wrapped up in history.”
“Ooh, I love history,” Todd said out of nowhere as if eavesdropping.
“Si,” Martin agreed causing Nathan to wonder who was going to pop by next. “We have the history channel and everything,” he added nudging him again.
Turning to Martin Todd held his arms out in a kind of “Are you kidding me” motion. “Seriously, I love history. I read it all the time.”
“Really, Dr. Seuss makes history books now?” Martin wondered sarcastically giving the other tables close by a laugh.
Mockingly Todd laughed along with them then turned to Nathan with a deadpan look. “I do watch the history channel. And,” he wanted to emphasize. “I do read as well.”
“I love the history channel,” Nathan said trying to help.
“I also like the discovery...

Lily would have been impressed if he just didn't take a sip from the cup with the spoon still in it. But watching this gorgeous man use proper tea etiquette was a huge turn on and she could already hear Todd laughing at her. Thinking he was going to lift the saucer with the cup still on it she held her breath. Lifting the cup off the saucer his eyes did not leave the task at hand. Lowering the cup he glanced directly into her eyes and smiled making her want to rip everything off of her counter and take him right then and there. “Hmm,” she pleasantly sighed letting the warmth flush over her.
Looking at her expression he realized he must have done something wrong. Leaning forward he whispered, “Do I have something in my nose?”
“No.”
“My teeth?” he asked ready to cover them with his hand.
“No.”
He looked down at his shirt. “Did I spill some tea?”

“His birth marked the beginning of a new chapter in roman history”. By 31, Caesar had fought in several wars and become heavily involved in politics; being appointed dictator and consul on multiple occasions (Biography.com, 2014).

Julius Caesar was a strong leader of the Romans who changed the course of the history for the Roman world decisively and irreversibly. With his courage and strength, he created a strong empire and guided the empire for almost 20 years. His life was short, but had many adventures. I will tell of some of this man’s remarkable life. He did many things, therefore, I will only discuss a few. His name, part of his reign, one of his greatest battles, and his death will be told.
When Caesar died, Octavius stepped up to claim his inheritance as his successor. At the time, no one knew anything about him other than the fact that he declared that he was Caesar’s heir. Also, to avoid confusion with a different person, he chang...
For those who have read the play Julius Caesar, it is easy to speculate that it is an accurate autobiography of Caesar’s last days before he was murdered. Without presented with the historical facts, this assumption remains unchallenged. Yet this is far from the truth, and its playwright William Shakespeare had planned it this way, as we shall view shortly. The many altercations interlinked in this writer’s story include incorrect biological relations between Caesar and the other characters and Caesar’s authentic personality and questionable motives are sugarcoated.
William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” is an interpretation of what the last days of Caesar were like, as well as his murder and the effects his death had on Rome. Mark Antony delivers a riveting funerary speech, using rhetorical devices to get his point across. It predominantly contains emotional appeals, although ethos and logos devices are presented throughout the speech as well.

“I found Rome built of bricks; I leave her clothed in marble.” These enduring words are the last spoken by Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome. Before he was deemed Princeps Civitatis-translated to mean first citizen of Rome-he was a leading member of the second triumvirate called Octavian. One of the triumvirate’s other members, Antony, caused a break in this three pronged power when he aided his wife and Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. When Rome declared war on Egypt, a series of battles ensued and ended with the death of Antony and Cleopatra, and a great victory for Octavian. These wars left Octavian with a new title of Augustus as well as the undisputed dominant power over Rome. Now that he had attained such power, he wanted to maintain
