C. Iulius Caesar’s office of aedile (65 BC) and its political contexts

Summary/Abstract: In discussing C. Iulius Caesar’s office of aedile held by him in 65 BC, the author of the present article included in his deliberations Caesar’s activity on two levels: his actions going beyond the powers of the curule aedile and the measures closely related to the duties thereof. The former ones were connected to the accusations that Caesar had taken part in the conspiracies organized at that time, whose participants aimed at seizing power in the Republic. These allegations concerned Caesar’s cooperation, also in this context, with Marcus Licinius Crassus. The latter ones, that is the activities closely related to the duties of the curule aedile, pertained to Caesar’s actions implemented within the prerogatives of these officials, that he took either independently or in cooperation with Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus, his peer at the office. Discussing both abovementioned aspects, the author analyzes the grounds of Caesar’s specific initiatives, contemplates the course of their implementation as well as their circumstances and conditions. He pays special attention to the positive and negative outcomes of his moves, presenting them both on a personal and public level.
