Who Julius Caesar was

Caesar climbed the Roman political ladder on borrowed money and a talent for public spectacle, forming a private alliance with Pompey and Crassus that gave him the governorship of Gaul. Eight years of campaigning there — recorded in his own clipped third-person commentaries — made him rich, popular with his soldiers, and dangerous to the Senate. Ordered to give up his command in 49 BC, he crossed the Rubicon instead and took Italy in weeks. He beat Pompey at Pharsalus, involved himself in Egypt's dynastic war, and reformed the calendar into the shape we still use. Named dictator for life in early 44 BC, he was killed on the Ides of March.
