Biography[]
Julius Caesar was an ambitious Roman statesman and general who, while appearing to serve Rome's interests in containing the barbarian threat, was very much out to gain personal glory, wealth, and power. He extended the Roman Republic’s territory far north into Europe. After a string of military victories against the Germanic tribes and the Belgae, he took his legions and invaded Britannia – twice – before levelling his gaze on the real target of his ambitions: Gaul. In the eyes of the Roman people, his successes in northern Europe came to eclipse the reputation of his co-consul, Gaius Pompey Magnus. Ultimately Caesar’s campaign in Gaul enabled him to enter Rome under arms, instigate a civil war and proclaim himself dictator. But during his Gallic campaign, surrounded by restless natives and opposed on all sides, victory seemed far from assured…
