The scariest thing that ever happened to Julius Caesar before he died was when he was kidnapped by pirates. While sailing to Greece for further study, Caesar was kidnapped by Cilician pirates and held for ransom. When he was informed that he was only being held for 20 talents he joked, becuase he knows he was worth more than 50 to his people. Julius Caesar joked with them, but he told them after he was realesed that he would find them and crusify them. After Julius Caesar was realeased with many people's help they were able to track down the people, and kill them. This experience must of been scary for Julius, because he knew that he had the possbility to be killed. If I was Julius I would of tried to escape or do something not just sit there. There is a rumor that when the roman governmet paid the pirates, and when they caught them they got their money back.
