Julius Caesar

             Born in 100 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar became one of the most famous and remembered
             Romans of all time. His parents were Gaius Caesar and Aurelia. Julius Caesar's most famous
             accomplishments include the conquest of Gaul and the invasion of Britain. Caesar was a major
             player in the struggle for power during Rome's civil wars. He beat one of his major rivals,
             Pompey, in 48 BC at the battle of Pharsalus. Although loved by the citizens of Rome, the
             Senators absolutely despised him. They beleived that he was going to bring an end to the
             republic and was a treat to the people of Rome. Caesar went over the edge in 44 BC when he
             asked to become emperor for life of Rome. This outraged the Senate and many of the Roman
             people. A group of conspirators assassinated Caesar during the Ides Of March in 44 BC, but
             he was greatly remembered as a great inspiration among the people of Rome. His actions paved
             the way for later leaders such as Octavian. He once had an affair with Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile.
