Early Life of Caesar
Born in 100 BC, Julius Caesar belonged to the prestigious Julian clan. Contrary to popular belief, he was not born by caesarean section; that procedure was named after him.

In 75 BC, pirates captured Caesar near the island of Pharmacusa. He maintained such dominance among his captors that he demanded they increase his ransom, which he later paid.

During the Gallic Wars, Caesar's military prowess was evident. He conquered vast regions, but his methods were brutal, resulting in the death or enslavement of millions.
Caesar's Clever Calendar
In 46 BC, Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, a solar-based calendar remarkably similar to the one we use today. It rectified the previous calendar's inconsistencies.
Beware the Ides of March
Caesar's death was foretold by a soothsayer warning 'Beware the Ides of March.' Despite the warning, he was assassinated on March 15, 44 BC, altering Roman history.
