Julius Caesar fought a campaign against the Gauls (modern day France) and won mass popularity among the plebs in Rome (the lower class citizens of Rome who accounted for over 3/4 of the population, refered to as,"the mob" by the praetorians, the upper class citizens of Rome who also held office in the senate) When the Senate grew jelous of Gaius Julias Caesar, they declared him and enemy of the state. Caesar then marched his legion of extremely diciplined, extremely experienced soliders(they had been campaigning for 8 years in Gaul) and marched them into Rome. Alot of things happened during this time, but to answer the question directly without getting into full detail, He tore apart the old which was essentially an Aristocracy, and transformed it to a Dictatorship. After his death, His nephew Octavian became the first emperor, and Rome became a Dictatorship.
