Julius Caesar was a Roman statesman and general who was born on 13 July 100 BC. Julius Caesar played an important role in transforming the Republic of Rome into the Roman Empire.

This began a civil war and Caesar emerged victorious.

His life story is documented in Shakespeare’s play “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.”
