JULIUS CAESAR
EMPEROR


ONE OF THE MORE CONTROVERSIAL CHARACTERS OF HISTORY, CAESAR WAS BOTH A STAUNCH DEFENDER OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS AND AN AMBITIOUS POLICITAN WHO DESTROYED THE ROMAN REPUBLIC. CERTAINLY BRILLIANT, AMONG HIS OTHER SKILLS HE WAS A SUPERB GENERAL, CONQUERING GAUL IN A CLASSIC CAMPAIGN THAT IS STILL STUDIED, INVADING BRITIAN AND ESTABLISHING HIMSELF AS DICTATOR FOR LIFE AFTER DEFEATING POMPEY IN A CIVIL WAR. STABBED TO DEATH ON THE IDES ON MARCH BY FRIENDS AND PROTEGES WHO RESENTED HIS GRAB FOR POWER, HE NEVERTHELESS MADE THE FUTURE ROMAN EMPIRE POSSIBLE.
