He came. He saw. He conquered. Julius Caesar was a force to be reckoned
with as a savvy politician, an impressive orator, and a brave soldier.
Born in Rome in 100 BC, he quickly climbed the ladder of Roman politics,
making allies--and enemies--along the way. His victories in battle
awarded him the support of the people, but flush from power, he named
himself dictator for life. The good times, however, would not last much
longer. On the Ides of March, Caesar was brutally assassinated by a
group of senators determined to end his tyranny, bringing his reign to
an end.
