the play starts on a high-sounding and a crowded/elbow-to-elbow passage in Rome as Julius Caesar comes back from battle, where he stamped Pompey’s sons into the ground after he won the war.
Two men, Flavius and Murellus, arrive at a Roman street, along with various civilians. Flavius and Murellus order the civilians to return home and get back to work you know this when he says: “What, know you not, / Being mechanical, you ought not walk / Upon a labouring day without the sign / Of your profession?”. Murellus engages a cobbler, (a person whose job is mending shoes), in a lengthy inquiry about his line of work; misinterpreting the cobbler’s replies, Murellus quickly gets angry with him. Flavius then comes and ask why the cobbler is not in his shop working. The cobbler explains that he is taking a vacation from work in order to see the triumph (a lavish parade celebrating military victory)—he wants to watch Caesar’s procession through the city, which will include the captives won in a recent battle against his archrival Pompey.

Ricardo,
You have taken some of this from http://m.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/juliuscaesar/section1.rhtml
As such, it cannot be considered for assessment. You are welcome to do the task again, I am much more interested in your views on the scene.
What is the most important thing that has happened? Why?
