Near the beginning we are introduced to Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar conquered many lands and ruled Rome. Ultimately his greed and desire to become King of the Romans, something that Romans would not tolerate, ended his life. The scene where Julius Caesar first makes landfall and meets the Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII shows how clever and witty Caesar is. The Egyptians have a preconceived notion of how Romans behave, barbaric and demanding. Caesar shows them that he is smarter than they are and acts opposite as expected by mingling with the people and not being pleased when he was given the head of Pompey. This scene shows us that while Caesar is concerned with pomp and circumstance, he wants to control the situation and give the orders.
