Julius Caesar

Product History

In 58 B.C. Caesar began a campaign to conquer Gaul (France). It soon became clear that he was a military genius. During his nine years in Gaul he lost only two battles in which he personally took part. He conquered all territory east to the Rhine River, drove the Germans out of Gaul, and then crossed the Rhine to show them the might of Rome. He also invaded Britain twice in 55 and 45 B.C.

Julius Caesar was one of Rome's greatest generals and statesmen. He became a brilliant military leader, and helped make Rome the centre of an empire that stretched across Europe. Caesar also won fame as an orator, politician and writer. Caesar's victories in civil war helped him become a dictator of the Roman people. His power frightened many of his political opponents and a group of them assassinated him.
