Was Julius Caesar a tyrant?  | Life Story
Channel: Generals in History
Date: 2022-08-05

Caesar pardoned and forgave his adversaries. He granted some orders and even permitted them to continue serving as senators.

He granted Roman Pagans access to funerals and rights to practice their religion. He gave the needy food and employment. Money and land were given to his men. 

Extremely affluent men who resisted Caesar and his reforms made up the Senate. After he won, they executed Caesar next to the Pompeiian Theater, his most formidable foe having been dispatched by Egyptians. 

Do tyrants engage in conversation with their foes? Caesar would have slain Pompey if he had been a dictator, and his assassins would have been helpless against the popular Julius Caesar. The Senate attempted to undermine Caesar's popularity by spreading falsehoods. Not really a tyrant, more of a populist leader.
