Description:
Gaius Julius Caesar
was a politician and general of the late Roman
republic, who greatly extended the
Roman empire before seizing power and making himself
dictator at Rome. His actions undermined the
republic and paved the way for a system of monarchy
headed by emperors (he was not himself a Roman
emperor). After his death, his name was adopted
as a title by all the Roman emperors, as well
as by later
monarchs (including the Russian 'Tsars' and German
'Kaisers'). His own accounts of his military
campaigns, the Gallic War in seven books and the
Civil War in three, survive.
