Fascination with Caesar is only slightly better than fascination with any other mass murderer in history. He himself boasted about having killed over a million Celts, probably exaggerated, but nevertheless had no problem in slaying tends of thousands, burning whole towns to the ground, and then selling whoever was unfortunate to still be alive to slavery. He was a genocidal maniac that had no problem in doing the unthinkable to further his power in Rome. Whether he was a tyrant or a man of the people is largely irrelevant to who he was and should be a footnote in any text about him. What would've happened hadn't he been murdered is that he would've continued his genocidal dreams, now in East Europe, just to feed his ego and increase his "glory".
