The above image is a carving of Julius Caesar's assassination. Caesar is dramatically posed leaning against a chair in a faint position, showing his distress when he died. His four assassins, Casca, Cimber, Cassius, and Brutus, are also above him, representing how they had more power than caesar as they killed him.
This is an image of Roman currency. Seeing Caesar's face on the coin shows how powerful he was as a dictator. He had a large ego to make an effort to engrave his face on the Roman currency for everyone to see. He really wanted to be known as a strong ruler.
This painting portrays an image of Vercingetorix surrendering to Julius Caesar. Vercingetorix was the chief of a very powerful tribe, and it was unlike him to ever give up in battle. This shows just how powerful and influencing Caesar was as a ruler.
