Gaius Julius Caesar
100-44 B.C.
Julius Caesar is one of the best
known politicians and generals in Western history. From a noble but poor
Roman family, Caesar made his fortune and reputation first as a soldier.
As a member of the First Triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus, he was one of the most powerful men in Rome.
Ultimately, he fought a great Civil War with Pompey for mastery of Rome, and ruled for four years afterwards
as Dictator. On the Ides of March, 44 B.C., he was assassinated by a conspiracy
of Senators, including Brutus.
