Julius Caesar

Gaius Julius Caesar was born around 100 BCE into an ancient patrician family that had fallen on hard times. His aunt Julia was married to Marius, the great general, which placed the young Caesar on the populist side of Rome's political divide. When Sulla's dictatorship forced him into hiding, he served in the East, winning military honors. Returning to Rome after Sulla's death, he climbed the political ladder with calculated ambition: military tribune, quaestor in Spain, aedile who hosted lavish games, pontifex maximus (Rome's chief priest), and finally consul in 59 BCE. Through the First Triumvirate, his alliance with Pompey and Crassus, he secured command of Gaul. For nine years, from 58 to 50 BCE, he waged one of history's great campaigns of conquest, defeating Gallic tribes, crossing the Rhine to intimidate the Germans, even landing twice in Britain.

Caesar is best known as a ruler. Roman general, statesman, and writer whose campaigns and reforms transformed the Republic and paved the way for empire.

Caesar lived 100-44 BCE, born in -100 and died in -44, during the classical period.
