During the glorious years of Rome, Caesar rewrote the pages of history with his extraordinary talent and ambition. He was born a nobleman, but rose to prominence in the midst of turbulent times. The young Caesar entered the political arena with wit and courage, and then won great glory with his victories in the conquest of Gaul. Unsatisfied with his military service, he returned to Rome and defeated his former ally Pompey in a civil war, becoming an unrivaled dictator. Caesar introduced many reforms and revitalized Rome, but his power was also feared by the Senate. One spring morning, Caesar entered the Senate and was greeted with treachery and daggers. As he fell, it was as if he heard the whisper of fate: "You have achieved the splendor of Rome, but you cannot escape the price of power."
