Beschreibung
Gaius Julius Caesar. A man whose name has become synonymous with power. A man of extraordinary qualities, with outstanding military and political genius. From a young age, he was raised in the belief that he was a descendant of the gods Jupiter, Venus, and the founders of Rome. He was instilled with determination, responsibility, and love for Rome. At an early age, due to his uncle Marius, a prominent politician and statesman, he came into conflict with the most powerful man in Rome at the time – the dictator Sulla. His disfavor forced the young Caesar to retreat to the province of Asia and to adorn his name with heroism in battle. By suppressing the pirate threat, he gained a reputation as a brave soldier and a gifted strategist. A lawsuit against leading corrupt nobles brought him popularity among the people, which elevated him to high republican offices. His election as Pontifex Maximus and friendships with Pompey and Crassus opened the path to a career that made his name known throughout the world.
