You are forgetting how ignorant people are in general. 90% probably don't know anything about him other than the name and of the 10% who do know something about him for most all they know is him being stabbed and the play.
Didn't you ever watch Jaywalking on the Tonight Show?

Caesar makes me burp!

He is the most famously murdered corrupt politician in history next to maybe King Louis XVI and a warning for every politician who gets corrupt.
Who looks at him fondly? I honestly don't know anyone who has taken a basic world history course that looks up to him.

Read Colleen McCullough's Caesar. Fiction but gives a portrayal of him that is more fleshed out and points out what he was dealing with.
The so called Republicans were no better as the word proscribe rolled off thei tounges.
See, that is a concept you peeps are leaving out. Proscription.

Haven't read the thread, but it could be because he defeated the feared and hated Celts in spectacular fashion, and took care of the poor in ways that no leader had ever done.
History loves to defame him, hence this parrot thread of yours, but every Roman emperor after him called himself Caesar for a reason.
His betrayers begged for their lives right to the end.

Bitching about the end of the republic? Start a thread about Sulla next time.

He does have this month named after him. And when I was in Rome they were selling everything under the sun with "Veni, vidi, vici" on it.

Sulla was in the right. An illegal government deprived him of his command. He had one choice: march or exile.
