Principal of Caesar's assassination! About the betrayal life of Gaius Cassius Longinus

In Japan, the traitor is Hideaki Kobayakawa, but when it comes to traitors overseas, the names of Judas, Brutus, and Casius are the first to be mentioned.

In fact, Dante, who represents the Renaissance, portrays Judas, Brutus, and Cassius as the heaviest sinners who continue to be bitten by the evil king Satan in Cocytus, which is located at the bottom of hell, in his masterpiece "Divine Comedy." There is.

It is well known that Caesar is the principal in the assassination of Caesar, but that is not the only evil he has done.

Abandon Crassus and escape in front of the enemy

The triumvirate each contributed to the expansion of the Roman world. Pompey settled Spain, North Africa and Sicily, not only conquering Greece and Syria, but also having a major impact on Egypt.

Caesar conquered the vast Gaul region and laid the foundations in the present-day developed countries of England, France, the three Benelux countries, and the western part of Germany.

Crassus unfortunately ended without any historical achievement. If I dare to say it, it was about suppressing the turbulence of Spartacus, but there is even a story that it may be the credit of Pompey.

In that case, Crassus would become a man who was really just rich, but maybe he had that impatience, he decided to sell a fight to our great power, Parthian.

Crassus is from the emerging wealthy Equites class and seems to have little military talent or education.

As a result, he was disrespected by other generals, and he seemed to have always been scorned by Casius.

As a result, Crassus lost and died with his son. Without seeing such a thing, Casius led his cavalry and fled in front of his enemy.

Everything was in this condition for a human named Casius.

When the Triumvirate collapsed due to the death of Crassus and the death of Julius, the daughter of Caesar and the wife of Pompey, he succeeded in embracing Pompey for the good of Caesar's expedition to Gallia.

He succeeded in inviting Pompey to oppose Caesar, but when Caesar attacked him, he ran away.

When Pompey wins in Duracchium, he complains to Pompey who wants an endurance battle and forcibly forces a battle in Farsalas, causing a historic defeat.

Caesar forgave such a helpless Casius. Pompey was killed by the Egyptians, but ridiculed by his hated childhood, Caesar quickly survived begging Caesar for forgiveness.

Forgive me, and even hold Casius in an important position called Praetor.

Caesar is a very generous and big man, but it was fatal.

Forgiveness must choose a person. That would be the greatest lesson we can learn from Caesar.

Caesar assassination and the end of the traitor

It is unknown how Caesar gathered the Caesar assassins. The Caesar assassins were eradicated by Octavian before Caesar left it.

It is said that it was this Casius who pulled Brutus, the child of Caesar's mistress, and Brutus, one of his potential successors, into the devil's path.

Caesar initially thought he could be a hero after assassinating Caesar. However, contrary to his expectation, most of the Roman citizens disagreed with him, and on the contrary, the furious Roman citizens attacked Casius all at once. As usual, this kind of person escapes quickly and escapes to Syria as it is, expands his armament by laying oppression in Syria against the background of his armed forces, and fights with Caesar's successors Octavianus and Antonius in the land of Philippi. , And was defeated.

Did he think he had been, or was he afraid of his treatment after being captured, and he eventually died on his own.

This is the end of the people who have betrayed people from ancient times to east and west.

There is a guy in the world who can't boil or bake, but it's probably this guy named Gaius Cassius Longinus.
