Ave Caesar II - Na vrcholu moci (61–44 př. n. l.) – Richter Karel (2014)

After a brief interlude as the governor of the Hispanic province, Caesar made a masterful move. He reconciled two age-old rivals, Pompey and Crassus. Through mutual cooperation with these two most powerful men in Rome of his time, he formed a trio that would henceforth be known as the First Triumvirate. This collaboration earned Caesar an eight-year adventure in Gaul, which made him a legend for the following century. He subdued the rebellious Helvetii, repelled the Germanic Suebi, made a bold incursion across the Rhine, and successfully occupied all of Gaul. Crassus's death in battle against the Parthians in 53 BC began to suffocate the already faltering Roman Republic. The events of the next ten years would transform the empire like never before. During this time, Caesar faced a Gallic uprising, was defeated by the powerful Vercingetorix, managed to invade Britain, which had been untouchable for Rome until then, and his fateful love affair with the Egyptian queen, whose name is as well-known to readers as that of the great Caesar himself. Yes, Cleopatra, the fateful woman of the powerful men of Rome.
