उत्तर

She is barren something that bothers Caeser likely caused her great shame. She acquiesces nonetheless when Caeser asked her to stnad in Mark Anthony’s path during the Feast of Lupercal race which would make her fertile. She had a dream that she saw Caesar’s statue ‘Which like a fountain with an hundred spouts did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it.’ She almost succeeded in getting Caesar to stay home on the Ides of March however her conspirators planned for this eventuality.
