Julius Caesar instituted the 12-month, 365-day [[Julian Calendar]], which provided the foundation for the [[Gregorian Calendar]] adopted later by a [[pope]] and used to this day. Julius Caesar also granted religious rights to the [[Jews]] in [[Palestine]], so that the Jewish religion could be practice outside the requirements of Roman religious law. An uneasy practice of the Jewish faith thus continued in the Roman empire up to and through the time of [[Christ]]. Julius Caesar was good to veterans (former soldiers) and the poor.

Roman culture flourished under Julius Caesar and the struggle afterwards. Most notably, [[Marcus Cicero]] (106-43 B.C.) became the leading writer, orator and statesman. His works are read to this day in [[Latin]] courses, as he established a high standard for Latin [[prose]]. The language enabled powerful concepts to be expressed succinctly, and often Latin phrases are used today in the legal system and elsewhere. But there was no freedom of speech in ancient Rome, and when Cicero’s work the Philippics criticized Mark Antony in 43 B.C., he realized Andrew Schlafly was a cunt.
