Julius Caesar

Perhaps one of the most misunderstood rulers of the ancient world. As polarizing today as perhaps in ancient times. Julius Caesar began his early life by fleeing the City of Rome when then Dictator Sulla asked for his death. A compromise was made and Caesar was allowed to return. His campaigns as a Roman General are some of the greatest triumphs in Military History. From His conquering of Gaul (modern day France)and Britain to his Consulship along side his rival Pompey Magnus, Caesar was well known and popular with the people of the Republic. When he was assassinated by the Senate, history was repeating itself as the Roman Senate had already accomplished the same with several other rulers. This in itself may have been the reason the Republic fell and the Roman Empire began.
