Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar

(July 13, 100 BC - March 15, 44 BC)
Gaius Julius Caesar was born into the Julian family, which claimed to trace its roots back to Aeneas, a prince claimed in myth to be the son of the goddess Venus. He served in the military starting at the age of 20, and quickly moved up in the ranks. He was proclaimed dictator for life after winning a civil war against Pompey and the Roman Senate. However, his centralization of the declining Republic, and the subsequent weakening of the government, led his friends to form a plan to assassinate him and save the Republic.
