Cae‧sar, Ju‧li‧us /ˈsiːzəʳ, ˈdʒuːliəs/
(100–44 BC) a Roman politician, military leader, and writer, who took control of the government of Rome and changed it from a
republic to an
empire, making himself the first Roman emperor. For this reason, he was murdered by Brutus and Cassius, and Shakespeare wrote a play called
Julius Caesar which describes these events. He is also known as the first Roman leader to attack Britain.
