It was a quote from a famous play at the time. Plays were in greek.
Latin was the pleb language The elite spoke mainly in Greek. Sort of like how French became a court language in a lot of Europe.
You're a moron that has no grasp of the time period beyond YouTubers and pop history homosexual books. Read more of the primary sources, read more latin and italian historians.
He never said that, its been memed into history because of shakespeares play and people keep repeating it as fact. Witnesses said he collapsed and covered his head with his toga as he died.
It staggers me how misinformed people are about how advanced the Romans were. I mean they had standarized unifroms, armor and weapons for their militaries which was unheard of until MUCH later in history.
I guess people assume technological advancement over history is a linear progression and wasn't buttfricked for a millenium buy the fricking g*rms

>Why do people have such a difficulty with grammar?
"Might have" sounds similar to "might of" or "might've" when spoken out loud. Similar to the "there/their/they're" error, it's common amongst native speakers because it's our natural language and we tend to write based on how it sounds. ESLs don't have this problem because they've had to learn the language and actually put thought into every word they use.
tl;dr different mindsets as a result of native fluency. I wonder if there are similar issues in other languages.

So saying "Why do people have such difficulty with grammar?" is a correct sentence?
As in people have a distinct, well identified, such difficulty with grammar?
"Such" is a generic term, so the alleged difficulties takes the vague plural form in this case.
I know this because I speak french and that expression is taken 1:1 from french.

I have a history degree from a top 10 UK university and can tell you that most of us are borderline illiterate twats
actually no, it was one of the first ones
the actual stabbing was a bit of a shitshow with only a couple of people actually having the guts to attack him while he was still alive and almost failing at that
the majority of stabs were post-mortem by the cowards in the conspiracy (aka nearly all of them) making a symbolic gesture or even just dipping their daggers in the blood
He might have said it but to Decimus Brutus, not to Marcus Brutus.
Decimus was his friend where Marcus was just a young homosexual that showed political talent that he spared because his mistress intervened.
Decimus betrayed him, they had dinner together the night before, which is sacred, and Caesar's wife had a bad dream and told him not to go to meet the senators. Decimus, the absolute Black person, went and convinced him to go with him.
By trying to save the republic by killing Caesar, they hastened its change into the empire. His assassination lead to Octavian becoming Augustus…ironic.
You should know that when we are married, I shall on occasion beat you. With my hand... A light whip... When I do so you must not think you have offended me. I do it because it gives me sexual pleasure. So remember that and don't be upset.
I have no idea. One thing I do know is that Octavia was extremely attractive to me, and I wish I could have smelled her entire body vigorously, head to toe.
The republic wasn't worth saving. It was decadent, ineffective and corrupt. Ceasar came along, and actually tried to wipe the slate clean and make meaningful reforms. Even though he was killed, Augustus managed managed to finish what Julius wanted. This 2000 year old event has no relevance to modern politics whatsoever.
>This 2000 year old event has no relevance to modern politics whatsoever.
We still use the calendar that Caesar came up with and half of the planet calls one month of the year after Caesar. Saying anything Caesar did or didn't do has no relevance to modern politics is a bad take. Imagine if he conquered east and created another proto-France where Romania and Bulgaria are. Imagine if it was a strong enough region to halt the slavic advance 1000 years later. Imagine a unified Balkans country that's not full of south slavs.
I'm autistic and even I understood that he was being ironic when he said it had no relevance in modern politics.
This. The need for land reform was clear and with slaves ruining the economy it was necessary. The rich senators didnt give a frick of course and were willing to drive Rome into the ground to keep their power.

He was going to punish Parthia for the humiliation they inflicted on Rome when they defeated Crassus but his real goal was securing the Danube frontier and take the thracian and dacian kingdoms.
Caesar was surprisingly based for someone that lived before a real pan-european idea was born and saw more potential in european half -savages than in civilized easterners that he saw as worthless.
>saw more potential in european half -savages
He had been riding along the celtic/german auxilia for 20 years at that point, his best contact with the "civilized" greeks was the ptolemaic shitshow at egypt. I can understand the man
Well he made gauls senators so he didn't see them as mere fodder by the end of the war. He still saw germans as uncivilizeable based on his memoirs though. The eastern European kingdoms were more akin to gauls than to germanics though. They were settled z had cities, forts etc where germanics were mostly nomads that slept under the sky with no roofs over their heads.

This is the brainlet take.
He didn't make, lusitanians, iberics, germanics or egyptians senators. Of course it served his interests but he couldn't have gone forward if there was not some kind of respect that was built over the years. So unlike what french revisionists say, Caesar wasn't the butcher of gauls, he was their friend in many ways as well.

it was a different time, where killing someone was the best way to solve your problems
>dude was hated so much that even his "loyal" personnel guards turned on him
the frick are you talking about, Caesar was probably one of the most beloved leaders in history
the only ones that hated him were the senators who had their paycheck threatened. Why do you think they had to flee Rome as soon as the general populace learned about their betrayal
Marcus Brutus was a homosexual sheltered kid that lost a battle while outnumbering his opponent and died by suicide after drinking and singing poetry with his hipster friends like a brooklyn soihomosexual.
Decimus Brutus was a gigachad but also a backstabbing bastard.
If Caesar said anything it was "Kai su, teknon?" Which is Greek. More likely he said nothing after his grunt of initial surprise when first stabbed.
Justification depends entirely on your politics.
He said “Brutus, that was brutal”
No he said "That was BRUTACULAR"
'I expected it from Betrayus, but you..?'
Shakespear is amazing
this. plus I'm pretty sure there wouldn't even be a camera there how would they know he was going to get stabbed and set everything up in time?
why would a Roman speak in Greek to another Roman rather than Latin
Latin was the pleb language The elite spoke mainly in Greek. Sort of like how French became a court language in a lot of Europe.
It was a quote from a famous play at the time. Plays were in greek.
You're a moron that has no grasp of the time period beyond YouTubers and pop history homosexual books. Read more of the primary sources, read more latin and italian historians.
he actually said
>Brutus, whats going on big guy, you just stabbed me in the guts
>Kai su, teknon?
To which Brutus responded “konichiwa dude!”
TIGHT and DOCILE
It was actually "sayonara, homie"
A more literal translation of his last word is "You too, son, will die" which was the ancient Roman equivalent of "I'll see you in hell".
He actually said
>Brutus, there is an impostor among us
>Ayo Brute that was mid fr fr no cap shoulda known you was sus.
Frick that Black person
Republic 4 life
how could they murder a CONSUL OF ROME
>show christlike forgiveness to enemies after utterly crushing them in battle
>get stabbed by them in return
Frick the mama's boy coward Brutus.
This shit just makes me wanna go out and kill senators. Bankers too.
>Eh tu, Brute?
He never said that, its been memed into history because of shakespeares play and people keep repeating it as fact. Witnesses said he collapsed and covered his head with his toga as he died.
Also stabbed 27 times and the autopsy revealed only one was fatal.
I didn't realise they had medical science back them
Quite advanced for the time.
there was literal brain surgery in the show brainlet
Spared no expense
>I didn't realise they had medical science back them
Pic related, a roman surgical kit.
It staggers me how misinformed people are about how advanced the Romans were. I mean they had standarized unifroms, armor and weapons for their militaries which was unheard of until MUCH later in history.

Dude they had foreskin restoration and basic brain surgery back then.
Yeah I would imagine so you fricking moron, it’s not like he can die 27 times
Was it the last one, that was fatal?
actually no, it was one of the first ones

Witnesses that lived 2000 years long?
Unlike your ancestors, people from Italy 2000 years ago could write.
By trying to save the republic by killing Caesar, they hastened its change into the empire. His assassination lead to Octavian becoming Augustus…ironic.
Octavian/Augustus was always…inevitable.
You should know that when we are married, I shall on occasion beat you. With my hand... A light whip... When I do so you must not think you have offended me. I do it because it gives me sexual pleasure. So remember that and don't be upset.
I wonder what Augustus' safe word was
Senate
I have no idea. One thing I do know is that Octavia was extremely attractive to me, and I wish I could have smelled her entire body vigorously, head to toe.
She was ugly, and she’s even uglier now.
Words fall from your mouth as shit from ass
Yes but Caesar was also justified. Rome as an institution at that point was pretty much beyond saving.
The republic wasn't worth saving. It was decadent, ineffective and corrupt. Ceasar came along, and actually tried to wipe the slate clean and make meaningful reforms. Even though he was killed, Augustus managed managed to finish what Julius wanted. This 2000 year old event has no relevance to modern politics whatsoever.
His ultimate goal was to crown himself king of Rome.
Caesarem se, non regem esse.
vae victis
>This 2000 year old event has no relevance to modern politics whatsoever.
It literally does though
I'm autistic and even I understood that he was being ironic when he said it had no relevance in modern politics.
Not really. He's saying it was inevitable one way or the other.
This. The need for land reform was clear and with slaves ruining the economy it was necessary. The rich senators didnt give a frick of course and were willing to drive Rome into the ground to keep their power.

Brutus was an absolute gigachad according to Plutarch.
Marcus Brutus was a homosexual sheltered kid that lost a battle while outnumbering his opponent and died by suicide after drinking and singing poetry with his hipster friends like a brooklyn soihomosexual.
Decimus Brutus was a gigachad but also a backstabbing bastard.
Strong rec for this book. Pretty short and whips along nicely
Had to make way for his cooler nephew
