About the Book: Who Was Julius Caesar
Born in Rome in 100 BC, he quickly climbed the ladder of Roman politics, making
allies - and enemies - along the way. His victories in battle awarded him the
support of the people, but flush with power, he named himself dictator for life.
The good times, however, would not last much longer. On the Ides of March,
Caesar was brutally assassinated by a group of senators determined to end his
tyranny, bringing his reign to an end.
