Julius Caesar

The Man Who Crossed the Rubicon

The general who ended one Rome and forged another — a charging blade that splits ranged lines wide open.

History

Gaius Julius Caesar (100–44 BC) was the most decisive commander and statesman of the late Roman Republic. In eight relentless years he conquered the whole of Gaul, and in his Commentaries he left Rome's earliest battlefield record — written in the cold, clear third person of a man who reported his own wars as history. In 49 BC he led his legions across the Rubicon, plunging the Republic into civil war against Pompey, and emerged its master. Named dictator, then dictator for life, he brought down a republic that had endured for nearly five centuries and cleared the road for Augustus and the age of emperors. On the Ides of March, 44 BC, his own senators struck him down in the Senate house. From his name itself came the titles of Caesars and Kaisers for two thousand years.

On the Battlefield

Caesar rides at the head of the Cavalry — a damage-and-control breaker built to dictate where a battle is fought. He does not wait at the front; he closes the distance in a single surge, driving past the shield wall to fall upon the archers and ranged ranks behind it. His signature charge, Roman Charge, carries him into the heart of the enemy line and shatters the formations that thought themselves safe. For any Lord of Europe who wants to dismantle a ranged backline, Caesar is the spear that decides the field before the enemy has finished bracing.
