Julius Caesar was tremendously popular with the middle and lower classes of Rome. This was because he was a popularis. The populares (plural) were a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and tried to introduce reforms to help them. It was opposed by the optimates, a conservative political faction which favoured the aristocracy and opposed reforms. The power base of the optimates was the senate. The optimates were unpopular with the masses because they opposed reform and were the representatives of an aristocracy which was seen as corrupt. Caesar was seen as the hero of ordinary people and the poor. To them he stood up to the senate. Caesar implemented an agrarian reform which redistributed land to the poor. He issued a debt restructuring law, which eliminated about a fourth of all debts owed. He abolished a corrupt tax system which tendered tax collection to private individuals who "farmed" tax collection to line their pockets. He reverted to an earlier system which allowed cites to collect the taxes themselves. He gave greater legal rights to the conquered peoples. He also donated money to the poor.

Vercingetorix was a chieftain of the Arverni tribe; he united the Gauls in a revolt against Roman forces during the last phase of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. Caesar won and brutally killed most of them, conquering the country.
