While Caesar won the goodwill of the public, he also won prestige among the common people and some upper-class people. We can also think that the current Caesar already has a certain degree of discourse power in the Roman Empire. So far in 7 BC

In three years, Caesar was elected to the highest priesthood. After that, he appointed financial officer, city magistrate, high priest, chief judge and other high-level positions. In 60 BC, he and Pompey who served as consuls and

Crassus formed the Triumvirate.

The Triumvirate, that is, Caesar, with the support of the other two, sat on the throne of the Roman consul in 59 BC, and after the expiration of his term, he became the governor of Gaul.

It was also when Caesar took office as governor of Gaul that he established a powerful army that was good at conquering and fully obeying his orders. This army also conquered the entire Gaul with absolute military superiority.

He crossed the Rhine River to attack the German region, and also crossed the sea twice to invade the British Isles, which earned Caesar great military exploits. From then on, Caesar's power grew rapidly, causing panic among the Senate and the nobles.

Because the Senate and the nobles were afraid that Caesar's power would be detrimental to themselves. After all, they still like to exploit the common people as their only purpose. They don't care about other things at all. They just like to eat, drink and have fun, and Caesar is obviously a reformer.

The momentum, but now due to the factors of the Three-headed Alliance, the Senate and nobles did not dare to touch Caesar easily. After all, Crassus was not easy to mess with at all, and Crassus liked Caesar very much.

Therefore, after Crassus died, Pompey conspired with the Senate in an attempt to dissolve Caesar's military power. Because Pompey and the nobles had the same ideal, as long as they could exploit the common people and live their own good life, while Caesar

Caesar obviously had the momentum to break the situation, so Pompey didn't like him. In the past, he didn't dare to move because of Crassus, but now it's different.

So after Caesar learned about these situations, he finally decided to fight with each other! Because Caesar was unwilling to give up his own military power. In fact, giving up was the same as death, and there were still more civilians supporting Caesar, so

Caesar fought with the Senate and even the nobles.

The nobles used the concept of money to capture people's hearts and organized a large number of Roman soldiers, while Caesar used the so-called freedom to capture people's hearts. Anyway, this was a large-scale civil war in the Roman country. No matter how the fight was fought, it was only Romans who died. In the end, after

After five years of bloody civil war, Caesar's army eliminated the nobles headed by Pompey and all other forces, conquered the entire territory of Rome, and declared himself dictator.

We can also say that the civil war between Caesar and Pompey indirectly consumed the overall strength of the Roman state, but it also allowed Caesar to stand on the highest power. Now Caesar is Rome.

The supreme ruler became a monarch without the title of monarch.

Then Caesar relied on the power in his hands to carry out various reforms including the land system, citizenship, history, laws and political systems, and established a high degree of centralization. This initially formed a huge empire centered on Rome.

empire.

Because Caesar's reforms mainly reformed the rights of the common people, the common people liked Caesar very much. Another reason is that Caesar's centralization of power was the same as that used by the Persian Empire before, that is, the concept of provinces, combining suppression and

The nature of the slave state has suddenly undergone a qualitative change. Now these places can be said to actually belong to the Roman Empire. For example, some small places are no longer slave states that exist for suppression. They are provinces of the Roman Empire.

, of course, these former slave states or satellite states of the Roman Empire have now become part of the Roman Empire, which indirectly leads to the people in these places also enjoying the same legal system as Roman civilians. Caesar's

This kind of reform can be said to be incredibly great, because although the Persian Empire used this method at the beginning, it was not fully implemented, but Caesar completely implemented this concept.

Caesar would also ask his men to write on the wall at this time, which would write down the major events that happened in the Roman Empire, as well as the Senate meeting report. This is actually the most ancient newspaper in our human history, so I will

This situation is called the prototype of a newspaper.

Caesar also presided over the formulation of the Julian calendar. This extremely advanced calendar is actually still used by countries on our planet in the twentieth century. The international Gregorian calendar we now use is also here.

It was reformed on the basis of the set calendar.

Caesar also established a one-way traffic lane system for carriages, which has also become the origin of traffic management in our modern era.

Caesar also wrote "Gaul Wars", which left us the best first-hand information for future generations to understand the mountains and rivers, customs and people of Gaul and the east bank of the Rhine at that time.

These reforms of Caesar must have always led to opposition and strong dissatisfaction from the Roman Senate and nobles, because Caesar's various reforms were simply destroying the interests of the Senate and nobles, so Rome's

The nobles and the Senate had been planning to assassinate Caesar.

But now Caesar is not dead, so we continue to understand Caesar, because in Caesar's era, there were more fireworks on the streets of Rome. Another thing is that the silver coins of the Roman Empire in this era had a special pattern, with naked people on them.

Woman pattern.

As for asking Caesar to use the image of a naked woman on the silver coins, many of our friends today believe that this is because Caesar saw Cleopatra, but who was Cleopatra? Really

Is she so beautiful and so fascinating for us men? So let’s talk about Cleopatra together, because there is another story between Caesar and Cleopatra.

There is a girl named Cleopatra in Egypt. She is the daughter of Ptolemy XII, the king of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt in this era. Legend has it that when Cleopatra was born, the entire palace was

It was a red light. As for the Egyptian prophets, they predicted that this girl would be an important figure in the Ptolemaic Dynasty and even Egypt, and the life and death of Egypt would depend on her.

So King Ptolemy and Queen were very happy after hearing this, and they loved Cleopatra very much. Her parents were pampered, which led to her being very possessive since she was a child. She was very smart and beautiful,

He also received a very good palace education and could speak many languages.

After the death of Ptolemy XII, according to the regulations of Egypt at this time, Cleopatra married her younger brother Ptolemy XIII, and then they jointly ruled the entire Egypt. However, Ptolemy was a very cowardly and incompetent man.

The shrewd and capable Cleopatra did not like him at all. It was precisely because of this difference in personality that the two of them often quarreled and clashed.

Cleopatra wanted to monopolize power at this time, so she had a very fierce power struggle with Ptolemy XIII. However, in this power struggle, the shrewd and capable Cleopatra

Raphael failed and was forced to flee to Syria. However, Cleopatra was unwilling to fail, so she actively recruited troops and was always ready to fight back to Egypt.

In 48 BC, the Roman generals Pompey and Caesar happened to be fighting for power. It was also the time of the civil war in the Roman Empire. However, Pompey failed in the battle for power. As we said before, he fled to Egypt.

.And it happened that Caesar was pursuing Pompey at this time and led his army to Egypt.

When Cleopatra heard the news, she immediately returned to her own country, Egypt, intending to use the power of the Romans to regain the throne of Egypt.

So that night, Caesar was reading in the luxurious palace in Alexandria. Suddenly a guard came in and announced: Dear general, the Queen of Egypt sent someone to send a blanket. Caesar was stunned after hearing this, and asked the guard to send it in.

The guard turned around and clapped his hands. Then he saw two Egyptians walking in carrying a roll of blankets, putting them on the ground and going out.

But at this time, the blanket slowly unfolded, and Caesar was surprised to find that a very beautiful woman appeared inside. Caesar quickly dismissed all the guards on the left and right, and then the person in the blanket introduced himself to Caesar.

, she herself was Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt.

And Caesar had long heard that the Queen of Egypt was a peerless beauty. When he saw her tonight, she was indeed well-deserved! Caesar was very excited and asked Cleopatra very politely: Your Majesty the Queen, you are

What's the matter with seeing me so late?

And Cleopatra did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: I want you to help me regain the throne of Egypt.

Cleopatra's beautiful face, graceful figure, and charming smile, under the light, were like a fairy descending to earth. Caesar immediately fell in love with the queen. So Caesar and Cleopatra

Pull this Egyptian queen and spend the whole night lingering on the blanket here!

Afterwards, Caesar did not beat around the bush, so he led the Roman legion, which easily defeated the Egyptian army of Ptolemy XIII. Cleopatra also supported Caesar, and then re-boarded the Egyptian army.

The throne has completely become the supreme queen of Egypt with monopoly power.

Later, when Caesar withdrew his troops, Cleopatra also followed Caesar to Rome. Cleopatra would be sitting on a huge model of the Sphinx, being carried by many guards as she passed through the Arc de Triomphe.
