What did he mean by this?

No. He's a hero.

>>2943293
Yes, but only because he ended the Republic, the best and most interesting period in Roman history.

No, the Roman Senate was corrupt and decadent. Also the Republic was already doomed due to Sulla, maybe even before that.

As we all know the Empire was never corrupt or decadent and proved to be a very stable form government.

Like that, contain the cancer that is moral revisionism. Present ALL relevant angles to a persona like Caesar.

The republic? It was already corrupt, inefficient, and bloated. The peasants were on the verge of rebellion, and we all know that a bunch of peasants running around with sticks never create an efficient government.
