Roman political leader and general; instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. A politician of the popular faction and a daring military commander, he formed an unofficial triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus, conquered Gaul, fought and won a civil war against The Senate and his former ally, Pompey, and became perpetual dictator of Rome. In 44 BC he was assassinated by senators hoping to restore the Republic, but after 13 years of power struggle and civil war, Caesar's adopted son Augustus would establish permanent autocratic rule
