Gaius Julius Caesar was born 101 B.C (before Christ). At the age of 20, Julius Caesar went to battle in the conquest of Mytilen. For his contribution in the conquest he was given the Oak Branch. The Oak Branch was a high honor in Caesar's time. Julius Caesar next big move was public speaking, which helped him in his next position in life. As priest, he also became a quaestor within two years.

By 65 B.C. Julius Caesar increased his status and became "Curule Aedile". Curule Aedile is a political position that was of high status in Rome. Before invading Gaul, Caesar became a governor in a city near Gaul. In 49 B.C. Caesar was ready to invade Rome by starting a Civil War. The Civil War caused Pompey to flee Rome to Egypt seeking protection. However, within the next year, Egypt's Pharaoh executed Pompey to gain Caesar's favour. Caesar did not grant his favour. Instead, Julius Caesar declared war on Egypt and executed the Pharaoh.

Julius Caesar was named Dictator Peretuus in 44 B.C. While is equal to "Dictator for Life" in Rome. Caesar was killed by sixty members of the senate. The assassins stabbed Caesar with dagger (knife) that were hidden under their robes. It's reported that Caesar died under the statue of Pompey with 23 stab wounds.

After killing Caesar the senate was left with the question "What to do next".  It appears that killing Caesar was the only thing that was planned out. With only a small group of gladiators behind the senate, how would they hold back Mark Antony who was sure to seek power.  Mark Antony at the time had control over most of Romes legion.  So, without a way out the senate suffered the avenge of Caesar's death brought by Mark Antony.
