                        Fifteenth speech - Calpurnia to Lepidus<hr>
                        Calpurnia, wife of Julius Caesar<hr>
<hr>
<hr>
                                            Background<hr>
        Throughout the centuries, nations and most men have praised Caesar, but<hr>
none have defended his cause. They all thought it easier to celebrate his valor rather than to<hr>
justify his intentions, that his wars were more glorious than their motive. Many thought he was a great general, but few ranked him a good citizen. Those who nicknamed him "father of the soldiers" also labeled him "tyrant of Rome", and nearly all suspected his objective was absolute power. However, it's undeniable<hr>
that, upon closer inspection of the facts, he appears more innocent than guilty, and I assure you<hr>
that if you listened to his arguments, through the voice of his wife Calpurnia, you would not criticize him. As our nation was defeated by him, it seems pertinent for our honor that our conqueror be without blame, and I am inclined to defend France's honor by defending the illustrious Caesar. He spoke so honorably of the Gauls in his writings that it's only fair<hr>
for the Gauls to speak on his behalf. I cannot bear the thought that we have followed the<hr>
chariot of a tyrant. Listen then to what his wife, who knew his intentions, will reveal to you.<hr>
