In English this tri, we have been reading Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Although I despise Shakespeare's style, the play obviously has a couple roots in Latin/Rome. Perhaps the thing I've found most surprising is the willingness to kill the most powerful man in a country. Cassius, Casca, and Brutus seem to have no problem with an assassination. The play Julius Caesar probably isn't a great look into Roman life, but it does give some insight on how the Plebeians viewed Caesar, which I found interesting.
