Julius Caesar

Born in 100 BC, a member of an important Roman family, Julius Caesar was one of the greatest men who ever lived. He was outstanding as a statesman, a general, an orator, a historian, a law-maker, a ruler … and, as even his enemies said, a conversationalist!
From his youth he held public office, and in 60 BC he became one of the three equal heads of government. For ten years he commanded the Roman armies in Gaul, conquering large parts of Britain and Germany. He then returned to Italy and, by crossing the River Rubicon, began a civil war in which he was victorious. He became the master of the Roman Empire and was largely responsible for the shape of today’s Europe. He was assassinated in 44 BC but even 2,000 years later, rulers were still using his name: Kaiser, Tsar or Czar, Shah, all was ‘Caesars’.
