The Rome of Caesar’s youth was unstable. An element of disorder ruled the Republic, which had discredited its nobility and seemed unable to handle its considerable size and influence.

Upon his return to Rome, Caesar was made dictator for life and hailed as the Father of his Country. For Caesar and his countrymen, his rule proved instrumental in reforming Rome. (c. 48 BC)

As Caesar was cultivating his political partnership with Pompey, the astute leader was also aligning himself with Marcus Licinius Crassus, a Roman general and politician who’d served valiantly during Sulla’s rule. (c.69-68 BC)

Caesar’s wish to include his former Roman enemies in the government helped spell his downfall. Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus were both former enemies who’d joined the Senate. Together, the two of them led the assissination of Caesar on the Ides of March (the 15th), 44 BC.

Pompey Crassus

Brutus Octavian

Caesar’s great-grand nephew, Gaius Octavian, assembled an army to fight back the military troops defending Cassius and Brutus. His victory over Caesars assassins allowed Octavian, who would assume the name Augustus, took power in 27 BC and became the first Roman emperor.
