In Shakespeare's play, Calpurnia encouraged Decius Brutus to send word to the senate that Caesar was sick on the day of his death, but Caesar refused to lie.
Following Caesar's death in the Ides of March (March 15) of 44 BC, Calpurnia delivered all Caesar's personal papers, including will and notes, and most precious possessions to Mark Antony.
In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Calpurnia is the household servant of Atticus Finch.

 Past Forward: She Done Him Wrong- Behind JULIUS CAESAR´s Assassination
History tells us that Calpurnia had tried to save Caesar when she had "implored her husband to cancel the meeting with the Senate" (where he was supposedly killed) because "in a dream, she had seen him streaming with blood".
What Calpurnia craved was the position in society that her marriage afforded her.
As long as her position as the "first woman in Rome" was not threatened, Calpurnia chose to turn a blind eye to her husband's growing affection for his mistress.

Calpurnia was between fourteen and sixteen, the regular age for womens' marriage in the upper classes (and as Syme says at Roman Papers 6.230, "Marriage being so closely linked to public life, regularities are to be expected"), on marrying Caesar in 59 (thus born in 74 or 73); cf.
Twentieth) which Calpurnia C. Anthis gave her son (or which her owners gave him, since he was clearly born in slavery), reflects the custom of drinking to Epicurus' memory every twentieth of the month, mentioned also in Philodemus' epigrams.
Boyancé, however, did not consider whether the epigram tells us anything about Calpurnia herself; he was more inclined to think Anthis was Caesoninus' freedwoman, perhaps his mistress (the name Anthis suggesting that she was beautiful) and even that Ikadion might have been Calpurnia's illegitimate half-brother.

Calpurnia's dream from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar was the inspiration for this dance, video, and MIDI performance.
These MIDI control streams were then used as control elements for the audio that was streamed back to both performance sites.
The audio elements included spectral-resynthesis vocoding of a reading of Calpurnia's dream, modulated in the frequency and magnitude domains by the motions of the dancers.

In fact, when Calpurnia remarks that fl people don’t age as quickly as white people, Jem seriously suggests, “‘Maybe because they can’t read’” as though reading is a burden that not everyone needs to shoulder.
