Definition:
the most famous of Rome's generals and leaders (100-44 BC)
Julius Caesar was never emperor of the Roman Empire because Rome was a Republic during his lifetime. He was assassinated by senators (including his friend Brutus as told in Shakespeare's play) who feared that he was taking too much power from the senators. The assassination restored the Republic, but provoked a civil war which led to the autocratic Roman Empire. Emperors of that empire took the last name Caesar because of him.
