Julius Caesar believed the omens received from the gods and the unfairness of Rome's Republic necessitated violating an ancient Roman law that forbade any general from crossing the Rubicon River with an army. Entering Italy in this way was considered treason. Once he led his army across the river, the Plebeians, who had been ran out of Rome, came to greet him and asked all to pledge loyalty to Caesar.
