Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was one of the most important Rome leaders. He was chosen because the Senates did a poor job in running the republic so the Romans wanted a strong leader. Caesar got recognized by the success he had in the battlefield while he was governing. When the senates knew that Caesar didn't follow orders he told Pompey and his army to attack Caesar. But, Caesar won the fight. When the Romans heard about this he got even more powerful. So, in 46 BC they elected him as a dictator of Rome. On March 15, 44 BC the senators were so mad that an angry mob of 60 senators stabbed him to death. This is why Julius Caesar was so important.
