Gaius Julius Caesar[a] (12 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. A member of the First Triumvirate, Caesar led the Roman armies in the Gallic Wars before defeating his political rival Pompey in a civil war, and subsequently became dictator from 49 BC until his assassination in 44 BC.

Julius Caesar: Biography
Et tu, Brute? But before his state-sanctioned murder, the statesman, general and dictator had conquered half the known world and still found time for a dalliance with Cleopatra.
