Even though he states that he was forced to become emperor, what heir of the ancient times wouldn't want to be emperor at the earliest age? His testimony shows that he really wanted to be emperor. He probably wasn't the main killer otherwise he wouldn't have a chance at being emperor, but the text gives us many evidence that Augustus may be part of the plan somehow. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700207 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700244 I think that Augustus could be guilty of the crime. This is because during the testimony he said very harsh words about the senates. He also said that he was FORCED to take power and that there will always be a ceaser to lead Rome]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700244 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700322 Yes, because he is putting all of the blame on the Roman Senate when his uncle died. He also stated that there would always be a Caesar to lead her. He also stated that the Senate had been weakened because of this attack on Julius Caesar, he also stated that the Senate felt jealous. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700322 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700399 I think Augustus could be guilty of the crime. This is due to the fact that he has been seen to excessively push blame of Caesar's death onto the Senate - to a suspicious degree. This is evidenced through Augustus' testimony after Julius' death, where he pushes the blame of Julius' death onto the Senate multiple times, as mentioned above. In addition, it is stated that Augustus was "forced" to seize power. Augustus' force shows his willingness for power - a motive that supports the crime. This evidence shows why I believe that Augustus was guilty of this crime.]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700399 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700462 I think that Augustus could be involved in the murder of Julius Caesar. This is because he most likely wanted the power, money, and fame for himself. If he killed Julius Caesar, then he would get to rule Rome. In Source 1, Augustus says that he was forced to take power. However, no one probably forced him to become emperor. He was likely jealous of Julius Caesar's accomplishment and wanted that high position for himself. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700462 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700511 I think that Augustus could be guilty of he crime because he says very skeptical information in his speech. For example, in paragraph 2 it states, "...I was forced to seize power!" This is odd since no one in Rome could've forced anyone to be emperor. Another thing weird about his speech is what he says near the end. It states, "From now on, decisions will be made quickly and with the authority of a true emperor can provide." Now, what does he mean by "true emperor"? Is he trying to say that the ruler before (Julius Caesar) wasn't a true emperor?]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700511 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700529 I think that Augustus is guilty of the crime. In his testimony, he claimed that he was forced to take power. However, no one forced him to do so, as he claimed power himself. This shows signs of him wanting power over Rome. Additionally, Augustus would've been able to take power because he was the adoptive heir of Julius Caesar, but Caesar was still alive, preventing Augustus from taking over. Because of this, he may have had someone be the visual murderer of his father, and he could've held the plan and lead it through. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700529 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700559 Augustus could be guilty of killing Julius Caesar because he could want power. His testimony said "Rome needs an emperor who will protect her which is why I was forced to seize power!" If Augustus truly was forced, he wouldn't say the rest of his speech like he wanted all of the power. He said it in such a way that it seemed like he had no other choice,   and he was the only on capable. He also claimed that the Senate killed Julius. Why would he already put the blame on anyone if there wasn't much evidence?]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700559 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700583 I think that Augustus could be guilty of the crime because Julius died on the Senator Floor, where there are around 300 men, so even if Augustus had been part of the murder, people wouldn't really notice him. In addition, Augustus tries to act as if he does not want to rule and does not want power. This is probably not true and he just wants the citizens to trust him. Thus, I think that Augustus could be guilty of the crime, most likely because he wanted to take Julius' role as the leader of Rome.]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700583 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700604 Yes, because I think he wanted power,  in the testimony he stated, "Rome needs an emperor who will protect her which is why I was forced to seize power." So he murdered his uncle and blamed it on the senate saying that they killed him out of jealousy. Or he could've murdered him along with the senate as there are 300 people. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700604 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700607 I think that Augustus could be guilty of committing the crime. This is because, in his testimony it was very obvious that he wanted power, and Julius was restraining him from that.  Instead of letting everyone know it was him, he tried blaming the senate by calling them jealous of his uncle's power.  Therefore I think that Augustus is most likely guilty of killing Julius.]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700607 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700613 I believe Augustus is guilty. If not solely responsible, he was definitely part of it. He said the senate was jealous so they killed Julius Caesar. He said that so people would turn on them. He also said he was "forced to take power. He was not forced. He just said that so people would think he was doing this for the people and was being humble. He wanted power so he killed his uncle.]]> 2017-10-10 16:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700613 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700647 I think that Augustus could have been guilty of the crime.  This is because in the testimony, he obviously wanted power and if Julius Ceaser had children, they would've been too young.  If Julius died, Augustus would've then stepped in and taken power so he might've thought it would be a good idea to kill him then.]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700647 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700677 I think that Augustus could be guilty of the crime. He really wanted to rule and he said that there will always be a Caesar to lead her. Also, he said that he had the authority of a true emperor,  and he said it in a way that makes readers assume that he did not think that Julius Caesar was a successful leader.

]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700677 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700678 Many pieces of evidence shine their lights directly on the fact that Augustus could have been guilty in leading or participating in the assassination of his uncle, the Great Julius Caesar. I think that Augustus could be guilty of the crime as he blamed the senate with details that might have been false. To add, Augustus mentioned that he was " forced to seize power," which doesn't make sense. He probably wanted to just lead for him self and maybe had jealousy expressed towards his uncle.]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700678 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700776 I think Augustus could be guilty of the crime because some key phrases in his speech are controversial. Like, "A Caeser will always lead her." 
Also they aren't blood relatives so they might not be as close. He really could want the power.  ]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700776 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700795 Yes, because he when Julius Caesar was murdered he was on the senate floor which means that the murder happened in front of his eyes and if he didn't add on the murder, he would be dead too.He also wants to have the power of an emperor.]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700795 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700846 I think Augustus was the victim who killed Julius Ceaser, Because he wanted the power to rule rome.If he would kill His father he  would be the king of Rome.Maybe this might be true.It might also be a senator who killed him]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700846 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700856 Yes. He said that he was forced to gain power. He said he won't wait for the Senate to act. That isn't justice. When his uncle had followed the rule, why isn't he? If he hadn't been guilty, then why isn't he following his uncle's footsteps? I believe that he was guilty of the death of his uncle, so he can become emperor..]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700856 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700892 I think that Augustus is partially guilty. First of all he blamed the senate. This shows that if there was a chance he did it, he would blame it on the senate. So that can possibly show his dishonesty. But I don't believe that the evidence is strong enough to say that he was the main killer. Another reason is ]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700892 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700920 I think that Augustus could have been the guilty of the crime. I say this because he said that he was forced to seize power I think that that was a lie because deep down inside he really wanted that power so he could have been guilty. Also another way was he could have comistioned the senate to do so also. He couldn't have been the soul killer but he could have part of the assination. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700920 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700938 I think that Augustus had nothing to do with the crime. If he had committed the crime he would have not spoken so badly about the Senate because the murder was held on the senate floor and by a senate. He would have supported the Senate. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700938 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700951 I think with all the murders and corruption of power that went on back then would make it very possible for Augustus to kill Julius. He demonizes his opponents and potential partners in the crime, that could rat him out. He also constantly praises Julius, almost compensating for the killing to make in convincing.]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195700951 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701216 I think Augustus is guilty for the crime. There are many parts of his testimony that show he was guilty. Augustus states how he was "forced to seize power". I don't think Augustus didn't want the power. He was probably in the plan of killing Julius for the power. In Augustus's biography it states how he pretended not wanting to be emperor in order to become emperor. He also states "form now on decisions will be made  by the authority of a true emperor". It looks like Augustus made up the story do that he could have the power all to himself without the Senate.  Finally Augustus says, "there will be a Caesar to lead her!". These words made me thinks that Augustus was trying to say this in a way to show that he will be a good emperor. With all these reasons, I think Augustus was guilty for the crime.]]> 2017-10-10 16:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701216 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701357 I do think Augustus was guilty of the crime. This is because he was jealous that his uncle was such a great leader. Augustus wanted to probably be put in that position. So Augustus set up something with the Senate so that he could get attention.]]> 2017-10-10 16:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701357 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701894 Augustus Caesar commanded the senators to murder Julius Caesar, because he knew that once Julius Caesar dies, he will become the next emperor. This powerful position will bring Augustus fame and wealth. Julius Caesar will no longer be in the spotlight, and instead Augustus will become famous. To conclude, out of jealousy and greed for power, Augustus directed the death of his uncle Julius Caesar, and succeeded with his plan.]]> 2017-10-10 16:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195701894 https://padlet.com/lori_montone/aib96q9ny8t/wish/195702202 I do think Augustus could be guilty of the crime because he says,"Rome needs an emperor who will protect her which is why I was forced to seize power!"He might just want the power for himself.
