Julius Caesar |
Greetings. I will talk about what just passed because I came few times with my busy life. I was in political trouble in 59 BC. The Senate hated powerful individuals like me, so I joined an alliance with Crassus, a very wealthy friend of mine and my fellow consul in 70 BC, and Julius Caesar, a friend and current consul at this time. I became the most important individual in Rome, building Rome's first stone theater.

Crassus and I were re-elected as consuls in 55BC. I became famous and when Clodius was murdered, I was sole consul in 52 BC. Many things happened during this time, some very sad, some good, and some ruined my career and reputation for the rest of my life.
Thank you for helping me become consul again. We had a great time being political partners.

I am glad that you and Caesar are friends, because Caesar and I have had a great relationship, along with some problems of peoploe thinking things that aren't true. Thanks for being Caesar's real friend.
