Gaius Julius Caesar was a roman military and politicial leader. He played an important part in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, with the first Roman invasion of Britain in 55 B.C He is considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, as well as a brilliant politician; and one of the ancient world's strongest leaders.Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him master of the Roman world, and began Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralised the already faltering government of the weak Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate Caesar in hopes of saving the Republic. The dramatic assassination on the Ides of March sparked a new civil war between the Caesarians: Octavian, Mark Antony, Lepidus, and Republicans: Brutus, Cassius, and Ciceroo among others. This conflict ended with a Caesarian victory at the Battle of Philippii, and the formal establishment of the Second Triumvirate in which Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus shared control of Rome. Tensions between Octavian and Antony soon plunged Rome into further civil war, culminating in Antony's defeat at the Battle of Actium, and leaving Octavian as the undisputed leader of the Roman world.
