Julius Ceasar

Gaius Julius Caesar is perhaps one of the most prominent Romans of the classical period that can be associated with Rome. This is because Julius Caesar can be most credited with, or blamed for both the downfall of the Roman Republic, and the subsequent creation of the Roman Empire. Many questions asking the usual why’s, and how’s have arisen from the ashes of the Roman Republic in order to cleanse Caesar of guilt …

…And while the evidence points that Caesar had grandiose schemes to become king, the evidence also may suggest that Caesar only wanted to play the political game of Rome in which ultimately won and lost. Did Julius Caesar want kingship and destruction of the Republic? The answer will never be known as the dagger blades of sixty assassins killed the only man who ever knew what Caesar wanted, and that man was Gaius Julius Caesar.
