the difficult set of tests required to gain a position in the Chinese imperial government
Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar, one of Ancient Romeâs most famous individuals, was born in 100 BC â or near to that year. Julius Caesar joined the Roman Army in 81 BC and was the first Roman army commander to invade England which he did in 55 BC and again in 54 BC.Caesar was born into a wealthy family and he was a well educated child who was good at sport.After serving in the Roman Army, Caesar developed an interest in politics.n 44 BC, Caesar was murdered by those politicians who feared that he was too obsessed with his own importance. His murder took place at the Senate House in Rome. After his murder, Rome was divided as to whether it was a good thing or not.
The Roman Republic was gone. In its place, the government was now a dictatorship, under the leadership of an emperor. The first Roman emperor was Augustus, the adopted son of Julius Caesar. He was emperor for 45 years. This was the beginning of the Pax Romana or Roman Peace. This is a very misleading title. There wasn't really peace. Rome continued to expand the empire, mostly through conquest. Rome itself was still beset by criminals and sometimes riots. It is called the Pax Romana because the empire itself was stable. The people knew that there was an emperor to run things and Roman legions to take care of wars and riots. They didn't have to worry about somebody coming in and conquering Rome and destroying their beautiful city.
