Julius Caesar was a dictator of the Roman Empire. He commanded the Roman armies which conquered Gaul and helped pave the road for the Roman Empire.
Caesar 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 43 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. he died of 23 stab wounds all over his body. He was also in a relationship with Cleopatra in 46 B.C. When Cleopatra heard of Caesar's death, she went off in a relationship with Marcus Antony and also died.
Julius Caesar is seen as the greatest military commander the Romans ever had. He was also a statesman, a lawyer and an author.
Cesar is famous for his conquest of Gaul during the Gallic Wars he fought between 58 BC and 50 BC. He also fought the Great Roman Civil War (also known as Caesar's Civil War, 49-45 BC) against the forces of the senate which opposed him. He won all the battles of this war and during its course became the ruler of Rome. Caesar concentrated power in his hands and ruled for five years, even though constitutionally, you could be the head of the Roman Republic for one year.
Caesar wanted to restore stability in a Roman Republic which was poorly equipped to deal with the weight of imperial expansion. The central government had lost control over the empire. The governors of the Roman provinces (conquered territories) behaved as if the provinces were their personal fiefs. Tax collection was entrusted top private individuals who "farmed" taxation to line their pockets. Military commanders used military violence, or the threat of it, to obtain what they wanted. Corruption was rampant. Caesar concentrated power in his hands because he wanted a strong central government which was capable of controlling the empire. He also implemented a land reform to redistribute land for farming to the poor, wrote off ¼ of all debts, and donated money to the poor. He reformed the Roman calendar and introduced the Julian calendar, which, apart from some minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, is the calendar we still use today.
Caesar is also famous for his assassination. There were people who thought that Caesar wanted to become a tyrant and murdered him in a conspiracy. After Cesar's death there were more civil wars. The Roman Republic eventually fell and Augustus established the absolute personal rule by emperors.
Describe Julius Caesar as a leader?
Julius Caesar was a powerful leader and a a noble roman everyone loved him but the was called t the capital and was assassinated by 25 members of the senate and his best Friend
It would depend on who you asked. The Optimates in the senate considered him a lousy leader because he planned to ease matters for the debtors and common people and instigate land reform. The common people and his own Caesarian party considered him a good leader due to the same reasons the Optimates disliked him.
he was very AMBITIOUS (trust me, i studied that play last year, and my teacher always said his main trait was ambition)
Yes. He was well-loved by his soldiers, as well as a very good fighter and excellent strategist.
He led the army into the battle of zama. He defeated haninnbal the carhtagian gneral.
It was a sort of dictatorial style. An authoritarian style. Almost tyrannical, but not quite as He had a senate to represent the people.
Some character traits that can be attributed to Julius Caesar are ambition, determination, impatience, clemency, family loyalty, and arrogance.
Cassius was not Caesar. Cassius wanted to kill Caesar for jealousy and some other issues.

Yes. Julius Caesar was a great reformer and ruler, some what at least.

Cowards die many times before their actual deaths. - Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar only killed Gaius Pompey, one of Pompey's sons. This was after the Battle of Munda in 45 BC which finally brought the civil war to an end. Pompey himself was murdered in Egypt. His remaining son, Sextus Pompey, was murdered in the mideast, by Marc Antony's commander, some say on orders from Antony, although Antony denied responsibility.
Actually No, Julius Caesar turned down the title of emperor. The first Roman emperor was Octavian, who was Julius Caesar's adopted son, who became the first Roman emperor in 27BC, some time after Caesar's death in 44BC (and was awarded the name Augustus Caesar).
It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.
