Question

How do you think the people of Rome felt about Caesar’s death?

Answer 1

Answer:

The middle and lower classes however, were distraught. Within hours of Caesar’s death they gathered in the forum, and at even before his funeral, they’d erected a shrine and began worshiping him as a God. The Senate, led by Caesar partisan Mark Antony, officially voted against making him one, but the people kept worshiping him anyway. At the funeral, it’s written that they threw weapons, clothes, books and all kinds of objects on Caesar’s pyre, and then flew into a rage, searching for the Liberators who had murdered their champion. One unfortunate victim of this was the poet Helvius Cinna, while not a Liberator, he shared his second name with a man who was. An angry mob literally tore him into very small pieces.

Answer:

Most people of Rome would have been upset by the death of Caesar. He was very popular with the poor and common people; he granted citizenship to those living in Roman territories outside of the Italian peninsula, ordered landowners using slave labor to hire more free workers, and much more.
