Caesar was a general, a statesman, a legislator, an orator, an historian, and a mathematician who was said to have a photographic memory. Caesar never lost a war, improved the calendar, created the first political news sheet, Acta Diurna.He also drafted the enduring Roman Law against extortion.  

Julius Caesar's most famous  conquest was that of Gaul (58 - 50 BC) and the invasion of Britain which brought about the effective end of the Roman Republic.   Caesar in a Roman Civil War marched against the Senate in 49 BC and defeated his major rival Cnaeus Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus. Due to the fact that he continued to concentrate so much power in his own hands that traditionally belonged to the Senate, Caesar faced steadily growing opposition from the senators of Rome.  

Caesar's life experiences at 55 included a widower, divorcé, governor of Further Spain, Pirate captive and conqueror, hailed imperator by harden Roman Troops, questor, aedile, consul, pontifex maximus -and now a dictator of Rome.  Caesar, the dictator, launched a series of political and social reforms that endured for centuries in the Roman Empire.
