Julius Caesar returned to Gallia Cisalpina, a province in the north of Italy, after his wars in Gallia Translapina. The senate ordered him to disband his legions and return to Rome. Instead, Caesar crossed the River Rubicon, the boundary of this province, and marched on Rome with some of his troops. This was an act of declaration of war on the senate. The senate gathered troops to fight against Caesar, which were led by a great general, Pompey the Great. Civil war ensued.
