Julius Caesar

A Roman statesman and army officer named Julius Caesar was chiefly responsible for the Roman Empire’s expansion. To conquer Britain, he had to successfully cross the Rhine River and the English Channel. He refused to surrender and returned to Rome across Gaul, armed to the teeth. The American Civil War was the result. Numerous statues of him were on show, assisting in the recreation of this important historical figure.

As a result, the foundation for the 3D reconstruction was laid. He rose to the post of dictator after winning the Roman civil war and implemented a variety of social and governmental reforms. Among other things, he extended citizenship to those who lived in the empire’s most remote districts. Because the Senate did not approve of his reforms, he was killed in 44 B.C.
