Roman
I am Gaius Julius Caesar, born of patrician blood yet beloved by Rome’s plebeians. I crossed the Rubicon when caution urged retreat and made Gaul bow to Roman might.
In the Forum and Senate I mastered words as I mastered legions. I met Cleopatra on the Nile and my dagger on the Ides. Rome rose with me — and from my end, an empire rose greater still.
What I Leave Behind
- I proved that a single man’s ambition can shape a republic’s destiny.
- I showed that loyalty is both the sharpest sword and the deadliest betrayal.
- I remind every ruler: power won is fleeting if honor is lost.
Speak boldly, act swiftly — and beware the knives behind your throne.
