Autor

¿Born on July 12, 100 BC, into the patrician gens Julia, Julius Caesar was immersed in Rome's political life from an early age. His family claimed descent from Iulus, son of Aeneas, linking them to divine ancestry. Despite their noble lineage, the Julii Caesares were not particularly influential during the middle republic. ¿Caesar's early career was marked by military service and political maneuvers. He served in Asia and Cilicia, earning the civic crown for his bravery. His return to Rome saw him elected as military tribune and later as quaestor, aligning with popularist factions to challenge the Senate's authority. ¿His ascent continued with his election as pontifex maximus in 63 BC and praetor in 62 BC. As governor of Hispania Ulterior, he achieved military successes that alleviated his debts. Forming the First Triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus, Caesar's influence expanded, leading to his pivotal role in the transformation of the Roman Republic.
