Description

What was it like to live in ancient Rome? Why not let Julius Caesar tell you about it? You'll read about his rise to power as well as what living in Ancient Rome was like. A postscript explains what happened to Caesar and why he should've been a bit more worried about the Ides of March!

Who is Julius Caesar? Hi, I’m Julius, but most people call me Caesar. I don’t mean to be big-headed, but it’s hard to be humble when you’re one of the greatest generals who ever lived. If you haven’t heard of me, you must know about the mighty Roman Empire that stretched from Africa to Britain. That huge empire would not have existed without my amazing conquests in Gaul (modern France). nough Being one of history’s greatest generals would be e r even the for most people, but I also wanted to be a ruler, o e and greatest Roman of them all. I set out to change Rom ars. create an empire that would last for hundreds of ye

Gaul Gaul was the name for the area north and west of Rome. It included what is now northern Italy, France, Belgium, and parts of Germany.

Making enem es Given how much I did for them, you’d think that the Romans would appreciate me a bit more. Of course, they didn’t. Powerful people in Rome didn’t always like my methods or how popular I was with the ordinary people. They were always plotting to get rid of me. So what if I broke a few rules? If you don’t want to get trodden on, don’t stand in the way! 4
