Roman military and political leader. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, introducing Roman influence into what has become modern France, an accomplishment of which direct consequences are visible to this day. In 55 BC Caesar launched the first Roman invasion of Britain. Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralized the already faltering government of the weak Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate Caesar in hopes of saving the Republic. The dramatic assassination on the Ides of March was the catalyst for a second set of civil wars, which marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire under Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus. Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historians such as Suetonius, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio. |

OK, I''m not going to remove this entry, but there is a problem with this quiz. The trouble is when you evaluate a quiz, to decide to post it, you have only seen some of the results. It appears that if you don't answer in a relatively ruthless way, you get some insulting diatribe about being a hippy and Jacques Chirac being a coward (implicitly because he doesn't support the Iraq war). Needless to say, this is insulting propaganda and tripe, so be warned. Because I'm annoyed I'm going to leave this up, and say don't do this quiz.
