Does History treat Caesar too harshly, or too kindly?

definetely too kindly. he was just an ambitious guy with some (okay, more than just some) skills. but he was usually too agressive with his diplomatic-political actions which in the end killed him.

Much too kindly. He ordered mass murder multiple times in Gaul. It was common in those times, but that's no excuse. And he brought about the end of the Republic.

Shit tier.

How did letting the children go work for Brutus, hmmm?

He was played with very high stakes, but was lucky and won every single time.

When he got in power, he did nothing different than any of the previous dictators before him. Sulla, Pompey.

The real wonder child was Octavian. With political knowhow he completely changed the nature Rome and managed to create a stable regime, that not only kept him in power for almost half a century, but also created a peaceful transition of power and a dynasty to follow him. His political system can be said to be kept until the times of Diocletian.
