Me: I am here with Julius Ceasar of Rome. What did you do in order to turn the Roman Republic into a Roman Empire?
Julius: Well, it all started when I was appointed Dictator and the civil wars all throughout the republic were raging. Then I joined alliances with Crassus and Pompey and we dominated roman politics for years. My conquest of Gaul extended our territory to the Northern Sea. Then in 55 BC I started my first invasion of Rome, then it all started going from there.
M: Well you sure have made a name for yourself. Could you tell me about your childhood?
J: Yes I suppose, I was born in about 100 BC, born into a partician family, my parents were Gaius Julius Ceasar the Elder, and Aurelia. I have two sisters Julia Maior and Julia Minor, I was married to Cornelia, Pompeia, and Calpurnia. I have had (at least) four children, and one grandchild who was killed at several days, he was unnamed.
M: Enough of your personal life, tell me about the fall of the Roman Republic please.
J: The Fall of the Republic was more than a single man or event. It was a culmination of several individual actions or achievements, coupled with social conditions that impacted on Roman society. It wasn't the individual effect of one person, but of the whole Roman Government.
M: Why do you think that the Fall of the Republic was important in history?
J: Because the fall of rome created a new and bigger roman empire, which would soon be one of the biggest empires in all of history, thus being very important and influential.
M: Well I agree with you Julius, the fall of the republic was a very important event in history. Thank you for your time, and good luck with the assassination.
J: What?
M: Goodbye.
