The legendary life of Julius Caesar

Caesar was the founder of the Roman Empire, so some historians regard it as the uncrowned emperor of the Roman Empire, known as Julius Caesar the Great.

Caesar was born in Rome on July 13, 100 BC. Born into an aristocratic family, his father held positions such as treasurer and justice. As a child, Caesar was sent to a school dedicated to the training of the children of the nobility. Caesar was physically strong, proficient in horseback riding and swordsmanship. In addition, he also particularly liked the classical literature of Greece.

In 60 BC, Caesar was elected consul of the Roman Republic. He formed an alliance with pompey, the strongest of the powerful pompeii and Crassus, the richest man in Rome (known in history as the "first three-headed alliance"), and for this reason, the 50-year-old Pompey married Julia, Caesar's only daughter, who was only 14 years old. After the alliance between the three, their power increased greatly.

In 54 BC, Caesar married Pompey's daughter and died in childbirth. Coupled with the defeat and death of Crassus in the Crusade, the three-headed alliance was unstable. Pompey feared that caesar, who was becoming increasingly powerful, would then ally himself with the Senate.

In 49 BC, Caesar led an army across the Rubicon River, beginning the Roman Civil War. Faced with the mighty Caesar, Pompey resisted a little and fled the city of Rome. Caesar was also elected dictator.

In 48 BC, Pompey, who had fled to Egypt, was stabbed by Cleopatra's younger brother S and offered his head to Caesar. At the same time, Cleopatra met Caesar behind him, charmed Caesar with his beauty, and received the throne. The move offended the Egyptians and the Battle of Alexandria broke out.

In 44 BC, Caesar announced an expedition to Parthia. The republicans who opposed Caesar were upset and believed that Caesar was about to become king. So plotted against S Caesar.

In March of the same year, the opposition tricked Caesar into going to the Senate and plotted against him.

After Caesar S, Octavian inherited Caesar's estate as Caesar's adopted son. Since then, it has entered the political arena. He was the first head of the Roman Empire. Augustus the Great!
