Julius Caesar, Roman soldier and statesman, 50 BC
Julius Caesar, Roman soldier and statesman, 50 BC. Julius Caesar (c100-44 BC) was one of Romes most capable generals, as demonstrated by his conquest of Gaul in the 50s BC. After becoming embroiled in the civil strife that accompanied the disintegration of the Roman Republic, in 48 BC he crossed the River Rubicon, took Rome and effectively became the first citizen. His presumed desire to abandon the Republic as a form of government and return to monarchy led to his assassination in the Roman Senate in 44 BC. Marble bust from the Vatican Museum, Rome

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Julius Caesar, a prominent Roman soldier and statesman who lived during 50 BC. Known for his exceptional military skills, Caesar showcased his prowess by conquering Gaul in the 50s BC. However, he soon found himself entangled in the political turmoil that accompanied the decline of the Roman Republic. In a bold move that would forever alter history, Caesar crossed the River Rubicon in 48 BC and seized control of Rome, effectively becoming its first citizen. His actions sparked controversy as many believed he aimed to dismantle the Republic and establish a monarchy. Tragically, this perceived ambition led to his assassination within the walls of the Roman Senate in 44 BC. The marble bust featured in this print is housed at the Vatican Museum in Rome. It beautifully captures Caesar's commanding presence and serves as a testament to his influential role in shaping ancient Rome's destiny. The intricate details on this sculpture highlight not only his leadership qualities but also reflect an era characterized by war and political upheaval. Julius Caesar remains an enduring figure whose legacy continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike. This striking image provides us with a glimpse into one of history's most enigmatic personalities – a man who left an indelible mark on both politics and warfare during ancient times.
