Revision as of 19:46, 24 April 2006
- For the eponymous play, see Julius Caesar (play).
Gaius Julius Caesar was a Roman military and political leader that lived from 100BCE to 44BCE on Earth. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. By the 23rd century, his reputation as a dictator was on a par with Genghis Khan, Ferris, Adolf Hitler, and Maltuvis.
James T. Kirk mentioned Caesar to Roger Korby in 2266, after Korby implied Human programming leading to near-practical immortality as the major impact of transferring the Human consciousness into an android body. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")
Spock put him in one line with Ramses, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler and Lee Kuan to show that Earth history is full of men seeking absolute power. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
Fleet Captain Garth of Izar later boasted to Kirk in 2268, that as "Master of the Universe", he would go much farther and have more success then other previous despots, such as Caesar. (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy")
William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar is based on this dictator. General Chang, Julian Bashir, Elim Garak and Admiral William Ross have quoted lines from this play. Garak found it strange that a "brilliant military tactician" like Caesar could not see that Brutus was trying to assassinate him. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; DS9: "The Wire")
