Why was Julius Caesar arrested?

Answer 1

Julius Caesar was never arrested. When he was a young man, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the leader of a political faction opposed to that of Caesar and who executed thousands of his opponents, stripped him of his inheritance, his wife's dowry and his priesthood (he was Pontifex Maximus, the high priest of Roman state religion). He also ordered Caesar to divorce his wife, Cornelia Cinna minor, but he refused. He went into hiding. The threat against him was lifted by the intervention of his mother's family, which included supporters of Sulla. However, Caesar was cautious and joined the army in Greece.
