ESSAY NOTES
In 60 BC, the First Triumvirate, an alliance between Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompey, and Marcus Crassus, was formed. Caesar became consul of Rome the following year. The three leaders were supported by the knights, the army, and the people, so the Senate was unable to oppose it. Over the next decade, Caesar led campaigns in Gaul (France, Holland, and Belgium), as well as in Britain, and earned his reputation as one of historys greatest generals. He wrote an autobiography of his war experience, titled Commentaries of War In Gaul. The Triumvirate threatened to dissolve in 56 BC, but the issues were eventually resolved. However, Crassus was killed in Parthia in 53 BC. Caesar and Pompey were being driven apart, and the Senate voted that Caesar step down in January 49 BC. Caesar responded by bringing his army back to Rome and declaring war. As he crossed the Rubicon River, he said iacta alea est! / the die is cast! Pompey ed, and Caesar pursued him. In 48 BC, Caesar defeated him at Pharsalus in Greece. Pompey escaped to Egypt, but was stabbed to death. Ptolemy, king of Egypt, sent Pompeys head to Caesar as a gift, but it enraged Rome. Caesar would see battle again during the lightning campaign in Pontus, where he said veni, vidi, vici! / I came, I saw, I conquered! He then had an a air with Cleopatra, queen of Egypt. He was appointed dictator of Rome in 49 BC, which was made perpetual in 44 BC. He was hated by certain Roman citizens. A conspiracy to assassinate him, led by Marcus Brutus and Gaius Cassius, succeeded in 44 BC. He was attacked by magistrate conspirators and stabbed 23 times.
