The 75-drachma will is significant because it reveals Caesar's intent toward whom?

• A. The nobles
• B. The soldiers
• C. The priests
• D. The citizens.

Answer: (D)

Caesar’s treatment of the common people and how his public actions are used to win their support is what this item tests. In the scene, Antony reveals Caesar’s will, which leaves money to all Roman citizens—75 drachmas to each—and makes the people beneficiaries of Caesar’s fortune. This shows Caesar’s intent to appear generous and friendly to the populace, to gain their goodwill and legitimacy, rather than to reward the elite or the military or to favor religious officials. Since the beneficiaries are the citizens, the will reveals his aim toward the common people. The other groups—nobles, soldiers, or priests—do not align with who actually receives the bequest in this moment.
