Dette er historien om den romerske kejser Gaius Julius Caesars vej til magten og hans fald. Som ung er Caesar en af de få, der tør opponere mod den tyranniske dikator Sulla. Det imponerer Pompejus, der hjælper Caesar med at flygte fra Sullas vrede. Da Sulla dør, kan Caesar endelig vende hjem fra sit ufrivillige eksil. Og i kraft af sit venskab med Pompejus vinder Caesar langsomt men sikkert indflydelse i det romerske senat. Pompejus sender Caesar af sted for at slå gallerne tilbage, men Caesar giver sig hurtigt til at erobre hele Gallien. Senatorerne, anført af Cato, begynder at frygte Caesars nyvundene magt. Senatorerne proklamerer at Caesar vil blive betragtet som en fjende af romerriget, hvis han ikke omgående afgiver befalingen over sine styrker. Han giver sine styrker ordre til at vende om og begynder at marchere mod Rom, vel vidende at det er begyndelsen på en borgerkrig. Caesar er uovervindelig, og han får hurtigt kontrol over Rom. Hans populistiske politik og utrolige militære succes gør ham til kejser af Rom, og senatet bliver tvunget til at udnævne Caesar til dikator, så længe han lever. Inflydelsesrige personer føler sig truede og tager initiativ til en sammensværgelse mod Caesar for at generobre senatets magt. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
The story of the rise and fall of the Roman Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar, born July 13, 100 B.C., and starting his career as a young Roman with visions of greatness for the Eternal City. When Sulla conquers Rome with his troops, Caesar is one of the very few to stand up against the despotic dictator. This impresses Pompeius, Sulla's general, and he protects the young man, who is a nephew of Marius, a well known veteran, against the wrath of Sulla. After Sulla's death, Caesar returns from exile and starts his political career. Caesar's daughter Julia marries general and senator Pompeius, and Caesar takes Pompeius' troops in order to simply safeguard the borders to Gaul, but instead conquers the whole country. His final victory takes place at the fortress of Alesia, where the Germanic troops under Vercingetorix capitulate. Back in Rome, Ceasar is not trusted anymore, since the troops are loyal to him alone and it is feared by Pompeius and Cato that he will use the troops to conquer Rome and declare himself King, including the establishing of a inheritbale right to the throne. Instead, Caesar does none of that and sets off to Egypt in order to ensure a constant delivery of agricultural goods to the Roman Empire. After a glorious return to Rome, his former friends Pompeius and Cato are dead, their deaths blamed on Caesar, and his personal life is in ruins since he could not resist the temptation of beautiful Egyptian empress Cleopatra. Being inveigled and aided by a group of rebellious and untrusting senators around Cassius, his nephew Brutus finally kills Julius Caesar at March 15, 44. B.C. (the Ides of March) at the age of 55, starting an era of civil wars.
