Answer:

  • War hero
  • Generous to the commoners
  • Beloved by soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Julius Caesar appealed to the plebeians who were the lower classes of Rome or the commoners, by being generous to them. He gave food and land to the poor and essentially redistributed some wealth from the wealthy of Rome to the commoners.

To top that off the Plebeians loved that Julius Caesar was a war hero who had conquered Gaul and also had fought alongside his soldiers in battle. This painted him as an efficient leader who did not hide behind privilege and they respected this.
