    Damn Talos Worshipping Stormcloaks. The Empire was nice and lazy before they started leaving offerings for Talos on his grave.

            I would argue that without Caesar, there wouldn’t be any French people.

          He also managed to strip the power from wealthy senators in Rome to give the common people better representation; even if it was only in principal rather than installed/formalized in a new system of government. He was a misguided man by the time he was murdered, but still a popular man of the people for this reason. His disposition with the corrupt, self-serving senators legitimized his right to rule for the plebeians that were ignored by the senate for so long.

            Worth remembering that most of what we know of Caesar comes directly from Caesar. He is the man that destroyed and ended the republic for no real reason other than power.
            Imo Pompeii is far more deserving of the praise that Caesar receives.

              This statement is not true.

              Cicero and Cato the Younger lived during Caesar’s time. Cicero’s speeches and texts are very well known and telling on Caesar.

            Did all of his successors give the common people better representation? Because it seems to me he destroyed a Republic for a little temporary representation of the common people (if you buy that) in exchange for 500+ years of dictatorship.

            The same the Democrats do in the US. Half measures for the people at home and warcrimes for the imperium abroad.

              Why can’t you just admit that Rome is stronger than ever thanks to Caesar? You have Caesar Derangement Syndrome.

      The answer is it might be cesars grave it could also be the altar or something entirely unrelated in the correct-ish area.
