Gaius Julius Caesar

Gaius Julius Caesar (100 – 44 BCE) is remembered as one of history's greatest generals and a key ruler of the Roman empire. As a young man he rose through the administrative ranks of the Roman republic, accumulating power until he was elected consul in 59 B.C. Over the next 15 years he led Roman armies against enemies abroad, especially in Gaul, while fighting Pompey and others for political control at home. In 45 B.C. he reached his ultimate success, being named dictator of Rome for life. That rule was short-lived: the next year he was stabbed to death in the Senate by a group led by his follower Marcus Junius Brutus.

- Caesar had a famous romance with Egyptian ruler Cleopatra, and he fathered her son Caesarion.
- Caesar's adopted heir was Octavian, who later defeated Antony and became the emperor Caesar Augustus
- The ruling titles Kaiser and Czar are derived from the name of Caesar.
