JULIUS CAESAR

DEFINITION OF ORATOR

Orator meaning "the one who pleads or argues for a cause". While the modern meaning is "the public speaker". The public speaker is the person who speaks in front of crowd. To be a good public speaker, we must have self-confident, full-motivated, and do not have stage fright. The ways to overcome the problems are:

  • Concentrate on how good you are at public speaking.
  • Pretend you are just chatting with a group of fiends.
  • Remember happy moment from your past

As a politician, Caesar made use of popularise tactics. During the late 60s and into the 50s BC, he format political alliances that led to the so-called "First Triumvirate," and extra legal arrangement with Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse Pompey.

Political realignments in Rome finally led to a stand-off between Caesar and Pompey, the latter having taking up the cause of the Senate.
