In 1st Century BC, Caesar was the most famous Roman Emperor whose authority grew to be the foremost power in all of Europe, Middle East, and Africa. His legionnaires were military forces that went on foot across deserts and mountains, sometimes laying roads along the way, which spread Latin to the entire Western World which later laid the foundation for French, English, Spanish, and other language adaptations. Because of him, phrases such as "All Roads Lead to Rome" and "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" exist.
The Roman Senators and leaders in multiple branches of Government realized that Caesar's power had become something like that of a King, which directly opposed the ideology of Roman Democracy, so three of his good friends took him out back and murdered him. If you trust the words of 16th century poets, then they stabbed Julius exactly 37 times.
His lineage continued to rule Rome for about a century, meaning the aforementioned assassination failed completely.
He didn't die of 37 stabs ? Like what ?
He supposedly did die from that. He was cremated so nobody actually knows for certain aside from the romanticized writings. He was deified after death, so it's likely that tons of stuff we know about the events are twisted.
I'm saying the assassination failed because even after he died his lineage took power. They wanted to prevent a monarchy.
Sorry but what is a lineage ?
Your parents, your self, and your offspring are all part of a lineage. It's a family line.
So legacy ?
That works in the context I used it in, but Legacy is only in the forward direction. You can be your father's legacy but he cannot be yours. Lineage describes all of the members of the family line.
Thanks
