The character that was most interesting to me was Julius Caesar. going into this class I knew little about him and after learning of his savagery and political attempts and failures Im more drawn to him than any of the others. The moment that sealed the deal for me was his ruthlessness when conquering territory, he would sack cities that had already surrendered for all there plunder. on top of this he was very goal driven and when politics had failed him he turned to military to rule and didn't care who he screwed over.

Caesar is definitely an interesting character, super-smart, charismatic, and ambitious to the point of ruthlessness. Once, traveling from Gaul through the Alps to Northern Italy, which was part of his provincial command, his companions pointed to a tiny, run-down village to him and laughed at the idea that people there too might compete for power. Caesar supposedly responded, "I'd rather be the first man here than the second man in Rome."
