Julius Caesar (play) - into a monarchy under his own rule. Cassius, though not a villain, is motivated largely by envy. The early scenes deal mainly with Brutus's arguments with Cassius and his struggle with his own conscience. After Caesar's death, however, another character appears on the scene, in the form of Caesar's devotee, Mark Antony, who, by a rousing speech over the corpse -- the much-quoted Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears... -- deftly turns public opinion against the assassins. In the later scenes, Brutus and Cassius begin to fall out, Brutus having realised the error of his ways. As they prepare for war with Mark Antony and Caesar's great-nephew, Octavian, Caesar's ghost appears with a warning of defeat. In the course of the battle, Brutus and Cassius die, but the play ends.
Juba II - (52 B.C. - 23 A.D.) was the husband of Cleopatra Selene, the daughter of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Together they ruled Numidia before the political situation became too unstable and they relocated to Mauretania. Juba was the son of King Juba I of Numidia (85 B.C - 46 B.C.), who had been defeated (in 60 B.C.) by the Romans, who then made Numidia (in northern Africa) a Roman province. Juba II had been reared in Rome, and in 25 B.C. Augustus Caesar restored him to the throne of Numidia and sent Juba and his wife (who had also been reared in Rome) to rule the country in what Augustus hoped would be cooperation with Rome. Juba was too Roman to suit the Numidians and finally had to give up and leave.

But in this year, they lost and could do nothing besides watching the removal of all their laws by the new conservative consuls (Quintus Fabius Maximus and Lucius Opimius).

Euphues - first published in 1579. It was as the author of Euphues that Lyly made most mark upon the Elizabethan world. His plays amused the court circle, but the "new English" of his novel threatened to change the course of English style. The plot is extremely simple. The hero, whose name may very possibly have been suggested by a passage in Roger Ascham's Schoolmaster, is, in the beginning, in bondage to the follies of youth, "preferring fancy before friends, and this present humour before honour to come." His travels bring him to Naples, where he falls in love with Lucilla, the governor's light-minded daughter. Lucilla is already pledged to Euphues's friend Philautus, but Euphues's passion betrays his friendship, and the old lover finds himself thrown over by both friend and mistress. Euphues.
