Julius
Caesar was a great general and an important leader in ancient Rome.
During his lifetime, he had held just about every important title in the
Roman Republic including consul, tribune of the people, high commander
of the army, and high priest. He suggested new laws, most of which were
approved by the Senate. He reorganized the army. He improved the way the
provinces were governed. The Romans even named a month after him, the
month of July for Julius Caesar.
