Julius Caesar
He Crossed a River and Ended a Republic. Six Years Later His Own Senate Stabbed Him 23 Times.
Era 2
Classical
The age of empires and ideas
Caesar crossing the Rubicon, Cleopatra on the barge at Tarsus, Socrates with the hemlock in his hand. The Classical era gave the world its oldest working vocabulary — republic, philosophy, tragedy, empire — and most of the drama to go with it. First-person biographies of the conquerors, philosophers, and founders whose voices still echo in every capital and classroom.
