Julius Caesar was the military and political leader of Rome who
brought about the end of the Roman Republic and laid the
foundations for the Roman Empire.

(upper-class) families of Rome. Although aristocratic, the family

military accomplishment.

malaria. During his nonattendance, his mother’s family succeeded
in gaining a pardon for him. Later, he returned to Rome and
became a soldier.
