"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. The Assassination of Julius Caesar, an Album by Ulver. Parenti's method of telling history from the "bottom up" will be controversial, but he recreates the struggles of the late republic with such scintillating storytelling and deeply examined historical insight that his book provides an important alternative to the usual views of Caesar and the Roman Empire.Ĭopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. As Parenti points out, such efforts threatened the landed aristocracy's power in the Senate and resulted in Caesar's assassination. Julius Caesar, says Parenti, took up where they left off, introducing laws to improve the condition of the poor, redistributing land and reducing unemployment. Although the Gracchi attempted to introduce various reforms, they were eventually murdered, and the reform movements withered. By the 60s B.C., the poor populace had begun to find spokesmen among such leaders as the tribunes Tiberius Gracchus and his younger brother, Gaius.
Roughly 99% of the state's wealth was controlled by 1% of the population, according to Parenti.

Why did a group of Roman senators gather near Pompey's theater on March 15, 44 B.C., to kill Julius Caesar? Was it their fear of Caesar's tyrannical power? Or were these aristocratic senators worried that Caesar's land reforms and leanings toward democracy would upset their own control over the Roman Republic?

Caesar was due to depart on a military campaign against the Parthians before the April kalends, and so the timing for the assassination attempt was fixed: the Ides of March.
His work has been translated into twelve languages. Cassius slashed at his face and Decimus Brutus pierced him in the side. Michael Parenti is the author of sixteen books including History as Mystery, The Terrorism Trap, Democracy for the Few, Against Empire, Dirty Truths, Blackshirts and Reds, and America Besieged. Casca then shouted in Greek to his brother who drove his sword into Caesars ribs.
