The Rise and Fall of Julius Caesar

Born in 100 BCE, Gaius Julius Caesar rose from a patrician family to become a formidable leader in Rome. Captured by pirates, he turned the tables on them, showcasing his ambition. His military successes and the formation of the First Triumvirate propelled him to power, but tensions with the Senate grew. Defying them, he crossed the Rubicon, igniting a Civil War. Ultimately, his assassination in 44 BCE marked the end of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
