Julius Caesar and the Fall of the Roman Republic
Earlier this week I video chatted with Gaius Julius Caesar, with the reasoning to interview him with the goal to find out more information about his past. I asked about what he did in the past history and he responded, "I was a Roman General and statesman." He said he played a critical role in the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. "In 60 B.C I entered into a political into a political alliance with Crassus and Pompey that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. I than asked if Roman Senate agreed with this, Caesar said "Our attempts to amass power for ourselves through populist tactics were opposed within the Roman Senate by the conservative elites." My final question was, What were your accomplishments? Julius responded saying "I conquered Gaul which extended Rome's territory to the North Sea, and in 55 B.C. I conducted the first invasion on Britain." Julius was considered to be a dictator and was power hungry.
