Gius Julius Caesar Ruler of the Mediterranean

Alow me to tell you about the Extraordinary Gius Julius Caesar. Caesar was an extraordinary man. He was born into a wealthy Patrician family and at the age of seventeen he was high in the politics of Rome. He went on over twenty campaigns in his life. When he was assassinated, he ruled over 2.3 million square miles and had territory in Asia, Africa, and Europe!

Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC and was 55 years old when he was assassinated. Caesars father was named Gius Julius Caesar and his mother was named Aurelia. When he was 17, Caesar married the lovely Cornelia. They had two daughters named Caesarion and Julia Caesaris. They also adopted a boy; the boy's name was Agustus. Agustus later became the emperor of all the Roman territory. Fun Fact: did you know that Caesars real name was Gius Julius Caesar II and

Caesar enlisted in the roman army and rose up the ranks and led a campaign into the Balkans. Then Caesar then wanted to invade Gaul, (France and part of Germany). He amassed an army and invaded Gaul, during this period he won over twenty-five battles and was only defeated twice! Ceasar invaded England/Britannia twice and concerned southern Britannia/England. Caesars' famous words were Veni,Vidi,Vici. which translates in English, I came, I saw, I concerned.

Caesars' victories in Gaul were starting to make another console in Rome jealous, Pompey. Pompey told the conservatives to disband Caesars army, then they ordered Caesar to disband his army. Caesar replied by marching 5,000 soldiers across the Rubicon, a river that separated Caesars providences from Italy. He defeated Pompey's army at the battle of Pharsalus, a victory for Caesar. Pompey fled to the Balkans, Caesar followed and defeated Pompey once again. Pompey fled to Egypt and was killed by the Egyptians, then the Egyptians then showed Pompey's head to Caesar. He then attacked the Egyptians and gave the throne of Egypt to Cleopatra, the king of Egypt's sister. He then returned to Rome in triumph.

Caesar was killed by Brutus Gius Cassius, Marcus Junus and several other roman aristocrats on March,15 44 BC the “Ides of March”. According to Shakespeare Caesars last words were “Et Ut, Brute?”. Caesar was buried at the temple of Divius Julius, Rome.

In conclusion, Caesar was a clever politician, a brilliant general, a smart tactician and ruler of all the Mediterranean! I learned a lot about Caesars' life and other people affected by his life. Sources:
