Talk:Gaius Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar and the Apple of Eden

I suspected that Julius Caesar may have been in possetion of one of the Apples of Eden (maybe even the one that ended up in Solomon's Temple). It has been established that those who possessed one of the Apples gains great power and this would discribe Caesar's rise to creator of the Roman Empire. His assassination at the hands of Marcus Junius Brutus may even explain how Brutus was able to creat unbreakable armor centuries before Altaïr.

SIGN YOUR POSTS. Discussing this is okay, as long as you don't put it on the article. Speculation is not allowed and will get you banned. Besides, Brutus already had the armor before he killed Caesar, as he said something like "perhaps you can use it for a similar tragic purpose". "It" referring to the armor, "tragic purpose" referring to the assassination. -- Master Sima Yi 20:22, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Templar?

I don't believe it's been stated anywhere that Caesar was a Templar. AC2 is listed as a reference, but Caesar is never even mentioned in that. It only shows that there were Templars among the Romans involved in Jesus' crucifixion. 98.192.42.30 17:05, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

You have to make links. The AC2 Glyphs at one point shows the SPQR logo, with the Templar logo in the background, thus saying that the SPQR was a Templar organization. Caesar created the SPQR. -- Master Sima Yi 17:07, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Caesar did not create SPQR. SPQR was a term used for the entire Roman government since the early days of the republic. It far predated and outlast Caesar. So there is really no proof Caesar was a Templar. For all we know they didn't start until the Empire did. It is speculation at this point. Vaxis7 00:26, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

SPQR was not created by Ceaser and it Stands for "The Senate and People of Rome" and its founding is still unknown but historians are certain it was created when Rome became a Republic ans under the Monarchy there was no Senate. Chaos0vt

I believe the kingdom was split between Octavious and Antony? Not just octavious...(would this be a good edit to make, or no?)Lost Fragment (talk) 01:17, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Templar allies vs. Templar puppets

Hello everyone, I'm just copy-pasting on individual talk pages a question I posted on the Templars article talk which did not get any response.

I noticed (just to stick to 5 out of 6 Assassin Seals targets plus Julius Caesar, as examples) that:

• Gaius Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Caligula are considered Templar puppets;
• while Xerxes I of Persia, Alexander the Great, Qin Shi Huang are considered Templar allies.

So my question is: where does this piece of information come from? How do we know that the formers were mere Templar-manipulated pawns with little or no personal power, or perhaps were not even aware of being under Templar influence (!), while the latters were able to treat with the Order on an equal position? Is it sourced, or simple speculation? I'd really appreciate any answer. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 21:33, December 14, 2016 (UTC)

Confusing profile picture

I know that the profile picture is a painting of Julius Caesar with Cleopatra painted by Jean-Léon Gérôme, however, without a caption, a reader might be totally confused. The painting is centered entirely on Cleopatra with Julius Caesar only in the background. I would disagree that it's ever an appropriate profile picture for him at all even if he's in it. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 21:22, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

I agree completely. There's also the fact that this particular image doesn't, to my knowledge, even appear in any canon materials. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 12:59, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

The painting appears in the Abstergo Files, I do, however, agree with Sol Pacificus that it's not a particularly good profile picture of Julius Caesar. The Wikia Editor (talk) 16:40, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

I've had to face the very same problem when adding infoboxes to different characters. In some cases, the only viable option that occurred to me was to crop images which weren't centered on the character, in order to create a new picture which was focused on our person of interest. This was done to Pythagoras, Rinaldo Vitturi, and the Assassin Medic. I planned to do the same for Antonin Scalia, but sadly I thought the result wasn't good enough because of the pic quality (I even looked for the very same picture with better resolution on the Internet, with no success), and I desisted.

While I do think this is the only possible solution, I do agree the outcome isn't always brilliant. I would appreciate your opinions on the matter. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 16:39, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

The current option of using the full painting is definitely not acceptable, I think. We should either crop it, find a better image used in an AC source, or just not have a profile image. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 17:50, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Thing is, the image does have a caption but the 'desc' field in the infobox doesn't seem to display on pages anymore? (Although, for me, as this is an image of a painting, it shouldn't be in the infobox.) Aaaand looking at the phone display, Caesar is obscured by his own name. Brilliant.

Affiliation with the Order of the Ancients

Some pages have yet to be updated fully or at all, so I just want to ask to make it clear: what was Caesar's offical offiliation with the Order of the Ancients? Was he a puppet? Was he an ally? Or was he a member and then leader? So may confusing things an contradictions on multiple pages, I just want it made clear. SkyGuy-Let's chat! 02:46, November 22, 2017 (UTC)

What evidence proof that Caesar is one of the Order? A.gao.96  14:49, February 3, 2018 (UTC)

The actual main game's ending leaves things ambiguous, but already seems to imply that Caesar is the Order's leader when Aya says he's now the king of the order, and Septimius calls him the father of understanding. During his death scene when all the members of the Ancients appear behind Rufio, he says that Caesar built a strong order. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 10:42, February 3, 2018 (UTC)

Rufio said that Caesar built a strong order before he was stabbed in the back by your cowardly wife. This order does not mean an organization. It mean that Templars pursue the things: order.

His name isn't display on target list at Assassin's Creed Origins meau. Every member of the Order display on target list at Assassin's Creed Origins meau.  A.gao.96  19:42, February 3, 2018 (UTC)

I disagree. "Built a strong order" more likely seems to refer to an organization or a group itself rather than bringing "order". Also, just because his name isn't on the target list doesn't mean his not a member, if not leader, of the Order itself. The dialogue already does seem to point out his affiliations. XOdeyssusx (talk) 13:01, February 3, 2018 (UTC)
