Best Answer

Caesar set out to be greater than Alexander.

While Alexander had taken over the Persian Empire in Asia, his early death terminated his plan to conquer Western Europe.

Caesar began by cementing Roman control of western Europe and planned to take Alexander's ex-empire in Asia. He was assassinated on the eve of his departure on this campaign.

So both had their ambitions frustrated by their early deaths.
