Caesar was "opportunism" at its finest level. Both in the battled field and in the Roman political scene. It worked in both worlds.

- Pigo 8y agoIf you see what he did at Alesia, Axona, etc, you can tell he was a patient and genius general. He did many things we find horrible, but also enacted many reforms at the expense of wealthy aristocrats, and put Gauls in the Roman senate. I find the dichotomy of him as a person to be very fascinating.
