Caesar, the hero in the hearts of the people, implemented a series of changes to improve social and economic development, but it annoyed the senators at that time and caused the scourge of killing?
Gaius Julius Caesar, historically known as Julius Caesar
Gaius Julius Caesar, known as Julius Caesar, was an outstanding military commander at the end of the Roman Republic and became the founder of the Roman Empire with his superior talents.
Why was such a Caesar, who was called a hero by the people of Rome, killed?
Caesar, July 13, 100 BC, was born in ancient Rome. His parents and his main immediate family members served as Roman dignitaries, which is known as the noble family of birth. At the age of 13, Caesar became a priest of Jupiter, equivalent to the current magistrate.
Caesar loved to learn and was sent to school from an early age to receive a good education. He was well-read and had a high literary talent, and published literary works in his teens, especially his famous works "Gallic Wars" and "Civil Wars", which still have high literary and historical value.
Because at the age of 22, he became a supporter of Malleus, due to the struggle between the two factions, the republicans led tens of thousands of troops to hunt down and kill the civilians and related personnel who supported Malleus, and designated Malleus as the "public enemy of Rome", so Caesar, who was in danger at the time, could only choose to leave Rome temporarily.
In 78 BC, after the death of Sula, Caesar returned to Rome, and after his unremitting efforts, the official fortune was prosperous, and he rose to a high position, which can be described as a smooth progress.
In 61 BC, at the age of 39, he became governor of the Spanish provinces, and during his reign he also led troops to fight, winning many territories for Rome.
At the age of 40, Caesar returned home with full honor and was elected consul of the Roman Republic, at which time he made the important decision of his life to form an alliance with Pompey and Crassus in order to consolidate his position, and his power has grown greatly since then.
But in fact, this alliance is not so strong, but everyone has their own selfishness.
Pompey Ho Ren, Caesar's son-in-law. In 54 BC, Julia, Caesar's daughter and wife of Pompey, died in childbirth. From then on, the end of this marriage symbolized that Caesar and Pompey had almost come to an end.
In 58 BC, the 42-year-old Caesar became the governor of Gaul, at this time he commanded 4 Roman legions of about 20,000 soldiers, in order to continue to expand his strength, in the next 7 years, he also launched the Gallic War, captured the entire Gaul region (today's France, Belgium and parts of Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands), Caesar won the victory, at this time the strength and prestige increased greatly, and was called a hero by the Roman people.
At this time, Caesar caused both the ally Pompey to worry and the envy of the senate, the so-called people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of strength, and since then Caesar has been remembered by the ill-intentioned senators and Pompey, who held military power, and Crassus at that time burped in the struggle of 53 BC.
In 49 BC, Caesar was regarded as an enemy of the state because he refused the Senate's recall order, and Caesar, who could not be angry, led a large army across the Rubie River in northern Italy overnight, driving straight into the city of Rome, and a civil war was on the verge of breaking out, and Pompey fell to the opposite side of Caesar in the name of defending the republic.
Over time, Rome's four-year civil war struggle ended with Caesar's victory, and Pompey's troops died on their way to Egypt. At this time, only Caesar was left in the "Big Three Alliance".
In 45 BC, Caesar became a lifelong lone ruler, vigorously implemented a series of reform measures, implemented a policy of leniency towards political enemies, and favored the common people, and so on, these changes not only adapted to the development of the Roman region and social economy, but also reflected the interests of slave owners in each region, consolidated their dominance, and established a strong positive image for future kingship.
Caesar was calm and restrained in handling military and government affairs, conscientious and rigorous, decent in his deliberation, quite graceful, and generous in dealing with people, generous and benevolent, cheerful and generous. In order to realize his higher aspirations, he was eager to pave the way for himself to create great things.
However, due to his arbitrariness and a series of reform measures, he also annoyed the senators at the time, so he began to have a bold idea and planned to assassinate Caesar.
Finally, less than a year into office, Caesar ushered in his own death.
On March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by members of the Senate led by Brutus at the age of 56. According to later generations, Caesar was stabbed 23 times and fell in a pool of blood.
After Caesar's death, he was revered as "Divine Julius", and his nephew and adopted son Octavian defeated Antony to start the Roman Empire and became emperor.
While Caesar's death may be deplorable, his impact on future generations is undeniable. His achievements should be greater than the past, and the series of economic, military, religious and ideological and cultural policies he pursued conformed to the needs of historical development and were the inevitable result of the socio-economic development at the end of the Roman Republic.
