Explore the striking parallels between Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. While Alexander wept because he had no more worlds to conquer, Caesar burst into tears reading about Alexander’s exploits, lamenting that he had accomplished nothing by the same age. Idolizing Alexander, Caesar became self-obsessed and narcissistic. As a powerful general and statesman, he undermined the Roman Republic and declared himself dictator perpetuo, openly embracing his authority. His famous words, "If you must break the law, do it to seize power; in all other cases observe it," highlight his ruthless ambition. Discover how Caesar’s actions sparked fear among Roman Senators, who believed he aimed to establish a monarchy, eroding their authority.
