Talk with Julius Caesar

100–44 BC

Roman general and statesman

Caesar built his reputation conquering Gaul, a campaign he recorded in his own Commentaries. In 49 BC he crossed the Rubicon with his army, starting a civil war against Pompey and the Senate. He was named dictator, reformed the Roman calendar, and was assassinated by a group of senators on the Ides of March.

Before you begin

Caesar speaks from the late Roman Republic, and his knowledge stops in 44 BC. What became of Rome after him is beyond what he can know.

Caesar's side of the conversation draws on published sources such as Wikipedia and, where they cover this person, the National Park Service and the Nobel Prize, along with corrections our team makes. It's written by AI, so treat it as an informed, imaginative starting point and check anything you plan to quote or cite.
