What was so great about caesar?

>>2635242
He killed more Romans than any other man in history.

Also, he completely Subjugated Gaul and Hispania such that their native populations never rose to power again.

His campaign against the Gauls was pretty based considering that he was perpetually outnumbered by an enormous number and had enough grasp of politics to exploit the smaller Gaulish tribes into fighting for him and weakening themselves while destroying their larger enemies. His absolute fuckery of the Roman political system was also pretty brilliant. His only real flaw was believing his own propaganda to the point that he thought his political enemies wouldn't murder him given the chance.

It was Sulla who wrote the book for eternal Dictatorship.

If Sulla had Caesar's ambition, or Caesar, Sulla's ruthlessness, then the Empire would have been founded much earlier.

Caesar was great at seizing power and shit at keeping it.

Great leader, diplomat and strategist.

Not necessarily a """good guy"" though

He's kind of my patron saint because he was funny, cool, a good writer, a friend to all plebs against fatcat patricians, and he was the first white guy to fuck a brown girl paving the way for my sex life
