Caesar—nearly everyone knows him, and nearly everyone has something to associate him with. Whether that is a delicious salad or a feat of Caesarian proportions, his name has left a legacy that can’t be destroyed. While Caesar definitely has had a lasting effect on today’s society, what did he do within the confines of Ancient Rome that made him so significant to Roman history?

But not all in Rome loved Caesar. Some loved him, some hated him, but such is the life of a prominent leader. Caesar was a very progressive leader, as he worked to break down social boundaries within the vast empire, all the while expanding Roman territory. He demonstrated great prowess and strategy in battle, as well as skilled in rhetoric and oration and governing. He also introduced Rome’s calendar, the namesake Julian calendar.

Though his reign was somewhat tumultuous, he ultimately was able to restore the Republic. Caesar was a stern, yet generous leader, who only had in mind the best interest of his city. Therefore, I feel that Caesar’s reign had the largest impact upon Roman history, and world history, and earned Rome its spot in the history

As Julius Caesar continued his road to success, he became consul in 59 BCE. After becoming Consul for one year he spread his power to Gaul and became governor there in 58 BCE serving two four year terms. For the eight years Caesar expanded his power by winning every single battle he fought.
Julius Caesar was great enough that his impact on the politics and society of Rome that all rulers and leaders after him called themselves Caesar. Whether or not he first created the salad named for him is uncertain. The greatness of Rome by the actions of Caesar under Julius Caesar brought the name Caesar into foreign lands to indicate a worthy leader. Thus Czar in Russia, Kaiser in Germany. Julius was born in 102 BC and died on the Ides of March 44 BC.
Historians may argue that Julius Caesar helped rome to make it better and stronger for the people. While this might be true this is misleading because all of Julius Caesar's good actions like giving people more jobs,but it just covered up his worse actions that hurt rome. Also Julius Caesar was named a awful man throughout history from not persevering in hard situations, hurting not helping rome, and doing things for himself. To begin with Julius Caesar was named a awful man from how he didn’t persevere in hard situations. One way he didn't persevere was when Sulla (the emperor of the time) ordered Julius to divorce Cornelia (his first wife) because she was from the family of Sulla's enemies.
