Most people think that Julius Caesar was a great emperor. But there is a side to his story that many have not heard. Gaius Julius Caesar was born on July 12 in 1 Century BC. When he was born, his parents hoped that he would change Rome.
They encouraged him continuously so that he would have a great future. Caesar joined the duty of the empire when he was young. Then he began changing the empire by showering it with ideas that could make it win. He then started his conquests making the empire larger.

My reflections last night on manipulation of people with #fakenews #propaganda On seeing #mural I was struck by similarity with early 20thC graphics in fake Protocols of the Elders of Zion, used by many - including Hitler in Mein Kampf - to attack Jews. @mrjamesob
That got me thinking about another famous fake, the Zinoviev letter, used against Labour in 1924. It was published by Daily Mail 4 days before the election. Did that swing it? When MI5 found it was fake, they were too embarrassed to tell new Tory govt.
Then I thought about fantastic #JuliusCaesar I've just seen, where oratory is used cynically to sway people. This apposite production makes clear how the people (promenade audience) are pushed first one way then another by sophistry. Brilliant performances btw @NationalTheatre
