In70BC,heparticipatedintheelectionagainandwaselectedasthetreasurerin69BC.Heservedforaone-yeartermandwasautomaticallyqualifiedasamemberoftheSenate.CaesarwenttoSpainin69BCtotakeuphispostasdeputygovernor,inchargeoftheprovince'sfinances.Duringtherovingtrialinthecities,theyrequestedtoberelievedoftheirdutiesandleaveSpain.
AfterreturningtoRome,in66BC,Caesarwasappointedasthe"AdministratoroftheAvenueofAppia"tomaintainthisthoroughfareconnectingRomeandBrindisi.Later,henominatedhimselfandwaselectedasthenewmunicipalofficialinthefollowingyear.Mainlyresponsiblefortheconstructionandmaintenanceofthecity'spublicfacilities(especiallytemples),managementofmarketsandotheraspectsofdailylifeinRome.Inordertopleasethecivilianclass,Caesarprovidedmanycompetitionsforthepublic,rebuiltmanypublicbuildings,andendedhisone-yeartenureasamunicipalofficialwithhonor,buthewasindebtwithhundredsoftarrants.
63BCwasthetenureyearofCicero’sconsul,breakingwiththecivilianclass,anddoingnothingduringhistenure.Onthecontrary,Caesartriumphedsteadily.Atthistime,Pius,thechiefpriestofRome,died,andCaesarparticipatedintheelectionandwassuccessfullyelectedtothispermanentpost.Later,hewasawardedanotherposition-Justice.Inthesameyear,CaesarmarriedPompeo,Sura'sgranddaughter.ThereasonforthedivorcebetweenCaesarandPompeoisthat"Caesar'swifeisbeyonddoubt."
In61BC,whenthetermofthejusticeexpired,CaesarreceivedthepostofgovernoroftheprovincesoffarSpain.Atthesametime,PompeyreturnedtoRomefromtheeast.Caesarwasinfinancialtroubleagain,andCrassushadtorepaytheloanforhim.ArrivedinIberia,CaesarlaunchedanoffensiveagainsttheLusitansandGalaesi,andthisactionbroughtrichspoils.Afterrestoringorderintheprovince,hehurriedlylefttheprovinceandreturnedtoRome,andmadetwodemandsatthesametime:triumphalandconsulposition.Finallygaveupthetriumphantstyleinexchangeforthecandidacyofconsul.
In60BC(say59BC),CaesarwaselectedbytheCenturianCongressasthegovernoroftheRomanRepublic.Atthistime,Pompeofailedtofightforthelandtohousehisveterans;CrassouwasalsoworriedaboutgainingcontrolofthearmyneededtofightParthia;andtheconsulCaesaralsojustneededPompeo’sreputation.AndKrasu'smoney.Therefore,Caesarsucceededinreconcilingthetwo(PompeyandCrassouhadagrievanceaftertheywereconsulsin70BC).Thetrioenteredintoacovenantin60BCwiththepurposeofensuringthat"nomeasureofthiscountryshallviolatethewishesofoneofthem"(Suvitonius).
Historiansrefertothisallianceasthe"TopThreeLeague".Inordertoconsolidatethispoliticalalliance,50-year-oldPompeoalsomarriedJuliaCaesar'sonly14-year-olddaughter.Afterthetrioformedanalliance,theirpowergreatlyincreased.Bibluswithdrewfromallpoliticalactivitiesasconsuluntiltheendofhisterm.Caesarmonopolizedthepower,and"theyearofthereignofBiblusandCaesar"becamethe"yearofthereignofJuliusandCaesar".
Aftercompletinghistenureasconsul,Caesarwasawardedasgovernor-generaltoadministerShanbeiGaul(nowsouthernFrance)andIllyria(nowtheAdriaticcoastoftheBalkans)forfiveyears(58BC)Yearsto53BC).Assoonashearrived,helaunchedtheGaulWar(58BCto49BC).
In9yearsoffighting,CaesarcapturedtheentireGaulregion(approximatelyequivalenttocontemporaryFrance)andtookthePyrenees,Alps,Cevennes,RhineandRhoneFortheboundary,theareawithacircumferenceofmorethan3000miles(exceptforsomeofthecitiesoftheAllies)becameaprovince(Gaulprovince),whichwasalsorequiredtopayalargeamountofmoneyeveryyear.CaesarbecamethefirstRomantocrosstheRhinetotheoppositebank(Germania)toattacktheGermans.
CaesarmadeafortuneinthenorthoftheAlps,andalsoforgedalarge-scaleandloyaleliteteam.Inaddition,heusedmanyofthewarproceedstobuypeople'shearts,anditwaseasytogainpopularsupportfromwithinRome.
TheGallicWardisturbedtheSenateandPompey.In54BC,CaesarmarriedherallyPompey'sdaughterYuliaanddiedinchildbirth.Inaddition,in53BC,Crassou,whowasconqueringParthia,wasdefeatedandkilled.Thethree-headedpoliticalinstabilitycausedtheSenatetowinoverPompeo.
By52BC,theinstabilityinRomewascompletelyarousedbyamurdercase.Inordertoquellthechaos,theSenateintendstoelectPompeoasthedictator.LittleCato,whosupportedhisemergence,feltthatthedictatorhadonlyasix-monthterm,whichwasnotsuitableforlong-termdealingwithCaesar,andmightcultivatePompeo'spersonalambitions.SoheproposedthatPompeobeappointedastheconsulalone,sothathecanletgowithinayear,andthengivetwoprovincesresourcestocontinuetoweighCaesarafterleavingoffice.Pompeowasdissatisfiedwiththis.Butthereisnobettersolution.Immediately,heorderedthetracingofthe20-yearanti-corruptionbillspecificallyaimedatCaesarandhishardcorealliance.ManypeoplewerepersecutedandrushedtoGaultowarnthem.
Althoughthesituationisnotgoodforhim,Caesarstilldoesnotintendtointensifytheconflict.HepubliclypraisedPompeo'sbehaviorandshowedhissinceritytotheSenate.Inprivate,heboughtinthepoliticianstopromotethebillsothathecouldabsentfromtheconsulcampaigntoensurethathewouldnotbecompletelyoverwhelmedbycorruptionlawsuitsandpoliticalcrackdowns.
Aftercompletingtheanti-corruptionbill,Pompeotooktheinitiativetogiveupthehonorofsoleconsul.Heimmediatelyelectedhisfather-in-lawMettrusScipiaasacolleagueandgovernedwithhimuntiltheendofhisterm.ThiscanberegardedasagestureofrespectfortheRepublicansystembyreciprocatinghimselftotheSenate.Theelderswerenotfools,andimmediatelyextendedhimthegovernor’stermandaddedtwolegionsofdispatchingprivileges.Asaresult,PompeoretreatedbehindthescenesandpreparedforafurtherconfrontationwithCaesar.
Asfortheworkonthebrightside,itisinchargeofMarcellas,whosucceededPompeo.Thisradicalanti-CaesarpersonfirstrejectedCaesar’srequestforextensionofthegovernorasaconsul.ThenhedirectlycancelledtheRomancitizenshipgrantedbyCaesartothecityofNewcombe,andimposedanon-citizenpenaltyonthecitychiefwhocametoaskforanexplanation.HekeptaskingthispersontogotoCaesartofileacomplainttoshowhumiliationandprovocation.Finally,heproposedamotion,suggestingthatsomeoneshouldbereplacedbeforetheendofCaesar'sterm.PompeostoodupatthisgateandreleasedsmokebombstoparalyzeCaesarbyvetoingtheproposal,hopingthattheotherpartywouldconsiderhimselfafirmally.
However,Caesardidnotwaitforamoment.HehadalreadyseenthroughthepoliticalwindinRome.AfteranticipatingthatPompeohadformedanalliancewiththeSenate,heboughtoutPaulus,theconsulelectedin50BC,tomaintainhisneutrality.HealsopaidoffhugedebtsfortheguarantorGaiusScribeniusCullio,makinghimhisownpartymember.
Soon,Caesar’sbriberycameintoplay.Beforetheendofhisgovernor'sterm,theconsulClaudiustookadvantageofthesituationtoarrangeforasuccessortoreplacehim,buthedidnotreceivewidespreadsupport.HiscolleaguePaulusremainedsilent,whileCulliodirectlystoodupandexpressedhisuniqueopinions,suggestingthatCaesarandPompeogiveupmilitarypoweratthesametime,sothattheRepublicwillnotfaceanythreatsfromgiants.ThiswonthesupportofciviliansandmanyveteransforCulio,especiallythosewhoweresinnedbyPompeo.Atthesametime,heisalsohelpingCaesarindisguise,throwingtheproblemdirectlytoPompeo.Iftheotherpartyacceptstheproposal,Caesarscanrelyonbriberyofficialstosupportandusenormalprocedurestoholdpublicoffice.IfPompeorefuses,thenCaesarcanjustifiablynotdisbandthearmy.
SoPompeopretendedtowritetotheSenate,expressinghiswillingnesstoendhistermofofficeearlyanddisbandthearmy.Buthenevertookanyaction,andCullio,whowasspeakingforCaesar,attackedmorefiercelyandproposedtotreatthetwoaspublicenemies.ThismadePompeo,whohadalwaysbeenarrogant,furious,andsimplyretreatedtotheoutskirtsofRome.EveninsidetheSenate,therewerepeoplewhoreallyworriedthathewouldbecomeacareeristjustlikeCaesar.
Intheheateddiscussionthatfollowed,theopinionsoftheSenatealwayswavered.TheyfirstrejectedCullio'sproposal,butlatersupportedtheremovalofbothsides'militarypowerwithamajorityofvotes.Cullioandtheopponent'sArchonClaudiusrespectivelyusedtheirownauthoritytodissolvethemeeting,sothattheSenatecouldnevermakeafinaldecision.
Overtime,theveteransgraduallyreacted.TheyfollowedCullio'smethodandaskedCaesarandPompeytosendalegiontoSyriatoguardagainsttheParthians.Althoughitseemsfair,becauseCaesarhadborrowedfromPompeythestatutoryrecruitingpowerofalegion,onlyhimselfwasweakenedbytheforce.Tomakemattersworse,PompeoneverintendedtosendalegiontoSyriatodefendtheborder,insteadstayinginItalyasapoliticalbargainingchip.Therefore,Caesarhadtodistribute250drachmastoeachsoldier,sothattheywerenolongerwillingtoexecutetheorder.Whileretainingitsforces,italsocontinuedtomaintainahighpressureontheItalianmainland.
Soon,Caesar’smenspreadrumorsalloverItaly,sayingthattheyweregoingtocrosstheAlpswithalltheirforcesandheadsouth.Pompey,whohadalreadyrunoutofRome,formedanarmyonthegroundsofanemergency.CuriowasunabletoleaveRomeduetopositionrestrictions,andhecouldonlyleaveitalonetosuchactions.Finally,attheendofhisterm,hetooktheinitiativetogonorthtoCaesar.

ThedeathofCaesar
In44BC,inordertosavethe9,000RomansoldierscapturedintheBattleofCalle,CaesarannouncedthathewouldexpeditiontoParthia.However,thefortune-telleratthetimesaidthat"onlythekingcanconquerParthia."ThismovedeepenedtheanxietyoftheRepublicancongressmenandbelievedthatCaesarwouldeventuallybecometheking.InFebruary,ataceremony,ArchonAnthonypresentedthewreathtoCaesarandcalledCaesarking.AlthoughCaesarrefused,theanti-CaesarfactionbecamemorefearfulandplannedtomurderCaesar.
