I'm reading Shakesphear's Julies Caesar play, and I'm not sure what this line means: he hath brought many captives home to rome, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. Does it mean that the ransoms the captives earned to free themselves went to the treasury or reserve of Rome's government?
go to sparknotes.com's "no fear shakespeare". its translates the work of shakespeare into modern english. its helped me through every shakespeare play ive read in high school and now in college. hope this helps!
