Biography
Julius Caesar gained numerous battle victories in his role as the general of the Roman army, and conquered the Gallic tribes throughout Europe. He was the great nemesis of the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix, who he defeated at one of his most famous conquests the Battle of Alesia.
Caesar was feared by other senators for his power as a dictator, and Caesar was evidently supported by the Templars, though it is unknown whether or not he was aware of their existence.[1] His close friend Marcus Junius Brutus led the conspiracy against Caesar alongside Gaius Cassius Longinus,[2] who were secretly Assassins.[3] His murder was planned on the Ides of March (March 15), in which the conspirators were successful, Caesar was stabbed 23 times. However, his death seemed to bring more chaos than before and his heir Octavian (later known as Augustus) became the next emperor of Roman Empire.
Trivia
