Julius Ceasar
"[Caesar] proceeded by forced marches to the territory of the Nervii, and there learnt from prisoners what was happening in [Quintus] Cicero's camp, and how critical the position was. He then induced one of his Gallic horsemen... to convey a letter to Cicero, which he wrote in Greek characters, for fear it might be intercepted and his plans known to the enemy. If he was unable to get into the camp, the man was to tie the letter to the thong of a javelin and throw it in over the rampart. The letter informed Cicero that Caesar was on the way with some legions and would be there shortly, and told him to keep up a bold front." Julius Caesar, De Bello Gallico. One of the most important men in Roman history said that, Julius Caesar. This essay will address many aspects of Caesars life from birth, up to his death, and also how his death was avenged. This will be told through a few sources, which will be mentioned later on. Julius Caesar was going to be a very influential and powerful leader someday but first he had to have his beginnings. Some sources say that Julius Caesar was born around the years 102 B.C. or 100 B.C. during the month of Quinctilis. Quinctilis is now known as July it was named from Julius to
Although Brutus was in Macedon he wasn't safe, because he was killed in battle by Octavius' army. Afterwards Caesar's grandnephew went for one of the assassins, Brutus. Octavius and Mark Antony were still furious about Caesars death. None-the-less these two along with another man named Lepidus formed the Second Trimvirate. These heirs didn't impact Rome as much as Caesar but they still had a profound influence on Rome after the Senate was ended. This helped build up his reputation as a military leader to an even higher position. Caesar's rule didn't accomplish much accept starting a new calendar, but his changing the calendar was unconstitutional. Julius Caesar joined forces with a couple of men later in life to form a thing called the First Triumvirate this happened around 60 B. This was not the first time people in Rome had started battles such as this. He would have gotten this position from either Marius or an ally named Cornelius Cinna, but its not known if he actually held the position or he was just nominated for it. The men that he formed the First Triumvirate with were named Pompey and Crassus. Since it involved so many regions the empire was in deep conflict.
