Caesar
 has always been one of the most controversial characters of history. 
His admirers have seen in him the defender of the rights of the people 
against an oligarchy. His detractors have seen him as an ambitious 
demagogue, who forced his way to dictatorial power and destroyed the 
republic. That he was gifted and versatile there can be little doubt. He
 excelled in war, in statesmanship, and in oratory.His literary works are highly esteemed. Of Caesar's
 literary works, his commentaries on the Gallic Wars (seven books) and 
on the civil war (three books) survive. They are masterpieces of clear, 
beautiful, concise Latin, and they are classic military documents. Caesar wrote poetry, but the only surviving piece is a poem on Terence.

ASSASSINATION

# data[].attributes.headline
 Caesar's
 reforms greatly enhanced his standing with Rome's lower- and 
middle-class populations. But his popularity with the Senate was another
 matter. Envy and concern over Caesar's increasing power led to angst 
among a number of politicians who saw in him an aspiring king. History 
had shown that Romans had no desire for monarchical rule. Legend had it 
that by the time Caesar came to power it had been five centuries since 
they'd last allowed a king to rule them. Caesar's wish to include
 his former Roman enemies in the government helped spell his downfall. 
Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus were both former enemies
 who'd joined the Senate. Together, the two of them led the 
assassination of Caesar on the Ides of March (the 15th), 44 BC. It's
 not altogether clear whether Caesar knew ahead of time of the plot to 
kill him. What was clear, though, was that the conspirators, who dubbed 
themselves "the liberators," needed to act fast. By all accounts Caesar 
had plans to leave Rome on March 18 for a military campaign in what is 
now modern-day Iraq. There he hoped to avenge the losses suffered by 
Crassus. Brutus' involvement in the killing packed the most 
complicated backstory. He had originally sided with Pompey during Rome's
 earlier civil war, but then had been encouraged to join the government 
after Caesar's victory. His mother, Servilia, was also one of Caesar's 
lovers. Following Caesar's death, a power struggle ensued in 
Rome, leading to the end of the Roman Republic. A mob of lower- and 
middle-class Romans gathered at Caesar's funeral, with the angry crowd 
attacking the homes of Cassius and Brutus. Caesar quickly became a
 martyr in the new Roman Empire, and just two years after his death he 
became the first Roman figure to be deified. The Senate also gave him 
the title "The Divine Julius." Playing on the late ruler's 
popularity, Caesar's great-grandnephew, Gaius Octavian, assembled an 
army to fight back the military troops defending Cassius and Brutus. His
 victory over Caesar's assassins allowed Octavian, who would assume the 
name Augustus, to take power in 27 BC and become the first Roman 
emperor.

EARLY YEARS

# data[].attributes.headline
A politically adept and popular leader of the Roman Republic, Julius 
Caesar significantly transformed what became known as the Roman Empire, 
by greatly expanding its geographic reach and establishing its imperial 
system. While it has long been disputed, it's estimated that 
Julius Caesar was born in Rome on July 12 or 13, 100 BC. While he hailed
 from Roman aristocrats, his family was far from rich. When Caesar was 
16 his father, Gaius Caesar, died. He remained close to his mother, 
Aurelia. The Rome of Caesar's youth was unstable. An element of 
disorder ruled the Republic, which had discredited its nobility and 
seemed unable to handle its considerable size and influence. At 
around the time of his father's death, Caesar made a concerted effort to
 side with the country's nobility. His marriage to Cornelia, the 
daughter of a noble, had drawn the ire of Rome's dictator, Sulla, who 
ordered the young Roman to divorce his wife or risk losing his property.
 Caesar refused and found escape in the military, serving first in the 
province of Asia and then in Cilicia.Following the death of 
Sulla, Caesar returned to Rome to begin his career in politics as a 
prosecuting advocate. He relocated temporarily to Rhodes to study 
philosophy, but during his travels there was kidnapped by pirates. In a 
daring display of his negotiation and counter-insurgency tactics, he 
convinced his captors to raise his ransom. He then organized a naval 
force to attack them. The pirates were captured and executed.  His
 stature was enhanced further in 74 BC when he put together a private 
army and combated Mithradates VI Eupator, king of Pontus, who had 
declared war on Rome. When Caesar returned to Rome he began to 
work with Pompey, a former lieutenant under Sully, who'd switched sides 
following the dictator's death. Not long after, in 68 or 69 BC, Caesar 
was elected quaestor (a base political office) and then went to serve in
 several other key government positions under Pompey. His 
personal life meanwhile offered up tragedy when his wife, Cornelia, 
passed away in 69 BC. Two years later he remarried, taking Pompeia, a 
distant relative of Pompey, as his wife. Their marriage lasted just a 
few years, and in 62 BC the couple divorced. Caesar's political 
ascendency, however, continued. In 61-60 BC he served as governor of the
 Roman province of Spain. He also continued his close alliance with 
Pompey, which enabled him to get elected as consul, a powerful 
government position, in 59 BC.
