many achievements were the victory of the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC which was an imperative battle and a turning point in the Gallic Wars, his conquests of Gaul which gained him control of more than eight hundred towns and three hundred states’, he also won the Battle of Pharsalus which was the civil war opposing the army of the republic with Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus in command.All these three important achievements had a great impact upon the rise of The Roman Empire as well as the course of history
The Siege of Alesia, also known by the name Battle of Alesia, led by Julius Caesar of the Roman Republic against Vercingetorix of the Gallic tribes, was a very influential battle apart of the Gallic Wars that took place in what is known today as Alise-Sainte-Reine in France. These wars started with the Conquest of Gaul in 52 B.C.E. by Julius Caesar, who began all of the fighting because of the threat that he had perceived from the Gallic threat to Italy, specifically Rome. He was appointed as the

The men under Caesar, a professional, cold-blooded army didn’t start that way. In the Roman Republic, social classes can be broken down into a dichotomy between the plebeians and the patricians, and though there was some middle ground, as well as classes such

In 79 BCE Pompey and Crassus would attempt to undo the reforms that Sulla made. Even though Rome returned to being a Republic, it would still have problems with the slave revolts. Pompey and Crassus would now have a third man assist them, named Julius Caesar. Even though Julius Caesar originally perceived as a tyrant, he was a man for the people.
As Julius Caesar advanced Roman influence and territory into the West through his conquests of Gaul, Spain, Africa and parts of Asia, Henry V expanded the British empire into France. Henry’s invasion of France began with the attack on the French harbour of Harfleur. The Battle of Agincourt was the definitive battle that resulted in the Treaty of Troyes being signed on the 21st of May 1420, the effect being that Henry became
Julius Caesar military activities were significant in Gaul, Germany and Britain, which as a result contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic. The combined result of Rome’s wars of expansion and competition among its leading men placed immense strain on the republic system. Julius Caesar, an ambitious man, craved the need for power, which he saw Gaul as an opportunity to conquer as Gaul lacked political unity and discipline. With the help of his devoted army and his genius with military tactics
One of the most defining moments in Roman history was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar on the 15th of March, 44 BCE. It sparked the transition from a republican to an imperial system of government for Rome. Caesar admired the idea of a government that was controlled by an individual (Imperialism), and not by senators constantly jostling for power (Republicanism). There are three points that suggest why his assassination was the key moment for the transition to take place. Firstly, Caesar
Julius Caesar: A Hero “I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar.

Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered.

“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” These famous words were spoken by Marc Antony at Julius Caesar’s funeral as if to solidify that Caesar has passed and the Romans should look forward without nostalgia of gone-by emperors. Marc Antony was a leader in the change of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire that spanned thousands of miles in its prime.

victory. Romulus’s story influenced many Romans but, what really happened was Romans were under Etruscan rule for many years as slaves until the Romans rebelled and overthrew their masters. Romans were discouraged by Greece thinking Rome would be easily swept away. Rome was attacked by many barbaric tribes including fighting a war with the Etruscans but triumphed again and again. Rome started with nothing and worked its way to the top, as nothing could break the Roman spirit, and their drive to dominate
