Answer: Historical allusion

This is missing in your question:

Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains.

Excerpt:

CASSIUS. There's a bargain made.

Now know you, Casca, I have moved already

Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans

To undergo with me an enterprise

Of honorable dangerous consequence.

And I do know by this, they stay for me

In Pompey's Porch. For now this fearful night

There is no stir or walking in the streets;

And the complexion of the element

In favors like the work we have in hand,

Most bloody, fiery, and most terrible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Allusion is considering indirect reference to some place, ideology, thing or a person that has significance that can be literary, religious, cultural or historical. Allusion from the above is historical one because it is describing ''The Tragedy of Julius Caesar'' and it has evidences that are historical and accurate.
