Caesar

In English we are starting to read a new play by Shakespeare, Julius Caesar. The play is about the assassination of Caesar and the conspirators that were around him. It includes many characters that were Julius' historical contemporaries including Brutus, Pompey, Mark Antony, and Cassius. Although we haven't gotten too far in the story, there are some glaring historical inaccuracy. Most pertinent of winch is that during his triumph Julius Caesar and his Generals participate in a Lupercalia festival in the Colosseum which wouldn't be built for centuries after Caesar's death.
