Julius Caesar was warned by the Roman Senate not to cross the Rubicon River. In 49 BC, this act was seen as a declaration of war against the Senate and the Republic, as it violated the law prohibiting a general from bringing his army into Italy. Caesar famously defied this warning, leading to a civil war that ultimately resulted in his rise to power. His crossing of the Rubicon has since become a metaphor for making irreversible decisions.

Did Julius Caesar start a revolt against the senate?

The senate was angry with Caesar. He was hugely popular with the plebians, and he had overstayed his term as proconsul of Gaul, so they feared he might be planning an attack on Rome to take control of the Republic. So, they called for Caesar to lay down his arms and return to Rome for punishment. Caesar didn't accept their proposal, refusing to return for punishment for something he hadn't even done. The Senate then convinced Pompey (One of the two Consuls of Rome, the other one being Caesar himself) to mark Caesar as a traitor, and declare him an enemy of Rome. Caesar was displeased when he heard this, and decided to cross the Rubicon river and march on Rome. After defeating the armies of Pompey and the Senate at multiple battles, Caesar became Dictator of the Roman Republic.

The Rubicon river, in Caesar's time, was the boundary between Gaul and Italy. Caesar had been ordered by the senate to disband his army and come to Rome for trial. This was an insult to Caesar and to his army. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon into Italy he began the civil war which, at its conclusion, left Caesar in supreme power.


What did Julius Caesar do to start a civil war?

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.
