I had the great pleasure of having a little chat with Julius Caesar! What a treat!
Q: What happened in your youth?
A: I had a good childhood. I was born in 100 BCE and captured by pirates at a young age. It was pretty interesting but even at a young age, I knew I wanted to achieve something amazing!
Q: Fascinating! I would like to know about your military styles?
A: Not to tute my own horn, but I was an ambitious military leader! I dominated Rome with my pal, Pompey and everything was going pretty well! In 58 BCE I set out with my army to make new conquests! I happily completed the Conquest of Gaul and crossed the Rubicon River.
Q: Who is this Pompey kid?
A: We started off very good in the beginning but then things turned sour! Pompey told the senate to order me and my army to retreat. Yeah right! We marched farther into northern italy. I crushed Pompey because he was so threatened buy me, ha! I swept through mediterranean and forced the government to make me dictator, of Ruler of Rome.
Q: Can you tell me more about Gaul and crossing the Rubicon?
A: Sure! It was around 55 BCE that I met with those German Barbarians at Gaul. There they stood across the Rubicon! I decided that I would make the first move! There, I built a bridge in merely ten days, ten days! what an accomplishment! When we finally finished and reached the other sides, the barbarians ran for the hills! They knew Julius was coming!
Q: How did it all end?
A: It was actually quite sad and painful. You see, I was stabbed to death in March of 44 BCE. The senate did it, those darn government people. Uggh, and it hurts me because I had too much power at the time of my death. So sad....
Q: How will this affect the future around the 21st century?
A: Wow! You are a far thinker! I created the Julian Calendar, which I expect will continue to be used for over 1600 years! It's based on the Egyptians so I owe them a little credit. Also a big thing, I turned big old Europe into a growing empire. That was tough. The outcome of this was the change into roman and then eventually the conversion to Christianity all throughout Europe
