> He literally led roman armies into battle against roman armies controlled by opposing political interests. Yes, but he had offered a truce to the senate before it came to that. What he wanted was to extend is governorship in Gaul. This would have given him legal protection from his enemies in the senate and kept him somewhat distanced from roman politics for the duration. The senate pressed for this outcome. They got more than they bargained for.
