Shiptu
I am a poor Plebeian Roman, named Shiptu, who is objectified to the way Caesar rules his people. I have been mistreated over the course of my sad life. Caesar is a self-glorifying man who cares for no one but himself.
I don't feel safe on the streets. Without a proper police force, dangerous men control the streets. It's even worse that I'm bribed to vote for certain leaders. If I don't vote for Pompey, I'm bullied and I'm as good as dead. But once Pompey's out of the picture, Caesar's men come after me because I'm not pro-Caesar. But you know what, I'm not pro-anything. I just want to live a peaceful life with my family and friends. Caesar doesn't help with that. Caesar doesn't help with anything. He only makes everything in my life worse.
With conscription, Caesar is directly responsible for killing and enslaving over 2 million plebeians in a self glorifying war. 100 thousand of these plebeians were Roman.This wasn't the first time. Previously, in the Gallic war, Caesar mistreated the poor in order to gain glory, wealth and possibly more territory for Rome.
The little he actually tried to do for my people barely made a difference. What ever land he gave to us wasn't enough to quell the fear we go through every day. In fact, he decided to only clothe and protect those who supported him, which only makes the situation worse.
Caesar favoured those who supported him and would smite those who didn't. He didn't care for any of our well beings. Nothing he did made me feel any safer on the streets. He treated plebeians as pawns. Pawns that he could just use to get to the top. This is what makes him a very resentful and selfish man.
