Julius Caesar had a traditional Roman education. He was educated in Rome and in Rhodes. A man named Cicero called him one of the most cultured and literate Romans.
A traditional Roman education at the time of Caesar consisted of schools. You had to pay to be educated. Males and females were sometimes taught together, but not usually. Students were taught speech, law, and gravitas (one of the Roman virtues which include dignity). If someone wished to study philosophy and wanted a higher education went to Greece. The Roman schools had tiers. A student would go from primary school to secondary to college and finally to university. It resembles our schools today, except a student was placed in these schools based more on ability than age. Some other differences in the Roman schools to our schools are that in Rome, only the elite would be expected to get a full education. For example, a farmer would get most of his knowledge from working, not school.
