 | | He fought as a quaestor under Marcus Licinius Crassus (see under Crassus, family) at Carrhae in 53 BC and saved what was left of the army after the battle. | | | It is said that the patricians, outraged at the suggestion, accused Cassius of royal aspirations and had him executed. | | | The plot involved more than 60 men (including Marcus Junius Brutus, Publius Servilius Casca, and Lucius Tillius Cimber) and was successfully accomplished in the senate on the Ides of March in 44 BC When the people were aroused by Antony against the conspirators, Cassius went to Syria. |

| | Gelo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On the death of Hippocrates, tyrant of Gela (491 BC), Gelo, who had been his commander of cavalry, succeeded him; and in 485 BC, his aid having been invoked by the Gamori (the oligarchical landed proprietors) of Syracuse who had been driven out by the populace, he seized the opportunity of making himself despot. | | | After he had thus established his power, he made a show of resigning it; but his proposal was rejected by the multitude, and he reigned without opposition until his death in 478 BC. | | | He was honoured as a hero, and his memory was held in such respect that when all the brazen statues of tyrants were condemned to be sold in the time of Timoleon (150 years later) an exemption was made in favour of the statue of Gelo. |

| | Persepolis & Pasargad |
| | Pasargad (or Pasargadae) was the first Achaemenian capital, founded by Cyrus the Great (559-30 B.C.) after his victory over Astyages, his grandfather and overlord in 549 B.C. It was replaced during the reign of Darius I (521-485 B.C.) by Susa, sometimes described as the “working capital”, and Persepolis. | | | From let to right are depicted: Shapur I mounted on his charger with is heir Hormizd I in the background; Shapur’s investiture; the investiture of Sahpur’s father Ardeshir I with royal family in the background; and Kartir, the high priest and Zoroastrian fundamentalist, under the reigns of several Sassanian kings. | | | The work was continued by his successors Xerxes (485-465 BC) and to a lesser extent by Artaxerxes, and indeed the work was only interrupted by Alexander the Great’s destruction of it in 330 BC, so its ultimate grand concept was probably never fully realized. |
