Probably the most well-known of the Roman Emperors, his name became the title for other monarchs: Shah, Tsar, and Kaiser for example. Gaius Julius Caesar (100 BC- 44BC) came to prominence as the winner in a civil war against Pompey and his forces. He was eventually declared dictator in 49 BC and ruled as either Dictator or Consul until his assassination on the Ides of March in 44 BC. Read more about his extensive adventures at (visit link)
The Roman Empire officially began in 19BC when Julius Caesar's adopted great nephew Augustus Caeser took power. However, the Roman Republic's titles of Dictator and Consul were synonomous with Emperor in the case of Julius Caesar.


This 1722 marble sculpture is by Nicolas Cousteau (1658-1733). It depicts Caesar standing and wearing a long flowing cape that is seemingly tucked in at the waist in front. He also appears to be wearing a breastplate..but it is understated. He has a laurel on his head and carries a scroll in his right hand. His right arm strectches across his body toward the left as he seemingly points to something on the ground. The piece is about 12 feet tall and on a pedestal which is about 5 feet tall. The sculpture is located in the Tuileries Garden in Paris. There is another sculpture of Caesar nearby. See (visit link)
