Gaius Julius Caesar
Gaius Julius Caesar, raised in a well-known patrician family, was the one responsible for the fall of the Roman Republic. Nevertheless, he is regarded as a great leader and politician who after a campaign against Pompey became a consul. He is also famous for conquering Gaul and marvellously written diaries describing his war efforts. All Rome's sovereigns after him took the"Caesar" title, probably hoping that a part of his fame would become their as well.
Julius Caesar's youth
Julius Caesar's history begins on 12.07.102 or 100 BC,when he was born in a family which was a part of the Julius dynasty, which is said to be found by Aeneas. Caesar's father was working as a praetor and died when Caesar was at the age of 16 orphaning him and his two sisters. So the futureconqueror was raised by his mother - Aurelia. At the age of 17 he married Cornelia, a granddaughter of Cornelius Cinna, who was the leader of the radical party. But his happiness didn't last long. In 82 BC, after Lucius Cornelius Sulla led the successful counter-revolution, Sulla ordered Caesar to divorce Cornelia. Caesar refused to carry out this order and was going to be banished and all histreasury to be taken away and losing the title of "flamens Dialis" - a priest of Jupiter. Caesar's friends and family pleaded for him and thanks to that he was found not guilty. Discouraged, Caesar went east and joined the army. He proved to be a superb soldier and fought in many battles and even got a laurel wreath"korona vita" for valour.
The beginning of Caesar's political career
In 79 BC, whenSulla died, Caesar returned to Rome to start his political career in the conventional way, by acting as a prosecuting advocate- of course, in his case, against prominent Sullan counter-revolutionaries. But this action didn't result in any positive way - Caesar didn't became famous nor did he had bigger chances of being chosen for an office, so he set out for Rhodes in 78 BC. He was kidnapped bypirates during his trip and released after 40 days after the ransom had been paid. He returned to Miletus where he quickly raised a naval force and started a war against the rulers of the sees - he won and had his captors crucified. He came back to Rome in 68 BC to his daughter Julia's funeral, which he used for political reasons. This encountered his wife's opposition, but Caesar didn't payattention to it. His wife died the same year. Afterwards, Caesar travelled around the Empire trying to start a revolution. After his plans had failed he returned to Rome and married Pompeia, a distant relative of Pompey. It was a political marriage, which allowed Ceasar to become Pompey's closer associate. At the same time Caesar established a agreement with Pompey's enemy - Marcus Licinius Crassus. In 65BC Caesar became one of the curule aediles. He took many loans at that time and organised olympics, thanks to which he became famous. Two years later he became the head priest, but this election was highly controversial. Caesar also was a part of Catiline's conspiracy, which aimed for coup d'etat. This plot also failed, due to Cicero's actions, but Caesar has been known as a conspirator sincethen.
The first triumvirate
After Cicero's abduction Caesar became a praetor. Unfortunately, he was often criticised and decided to abduct, but was chosen as governor of Spain. But when he tried to leave Rome he was stopped by his creditors and only thanks to Marcus Licinius Crassus's guarantee he could leave. During the year he spent in Spain he led a military expedition beyond the north-westfrontier of his province, where he looted enough to pay his soldiers and still have quite a fortune for himself. He wanted to use the gold to get an office, but senate didn't allow him to start his own election campaign. So Caesar used the money to pay his debts and established an agreement with Pompey and Marcus Licinius Crassus in 60BC. A famous richman and a commander and a candidate for the...
