He was one of the greatest military leaders, conquering Gaul in 51 BC, and extended Rome's empire to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar was the first Roman General to cross both and he built a bridge across the Rhine conducting the first invasion of Britain. His unmatched military power threatened surpass Pompey's power in Rome. Ordered by the senate to stand trial in Rome, Caesar marched his legions from Gaul to Italy, crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC. This sparked a civil war from which he emerged as the unrivaled leader of the Roman World. Marcus Junius Brutus, a good friend of Caesar, felt he had to save the republic from the dictatorship of Caesar. On March 15th 44 BC, (Ides of March) Brutus and senate conspirators assassinated Julius Caesar, stabbing him at least 23 times with daggers they hid in their togas. Caesars last words were spoken in Greek "Et tu, Brute?", You to, my child? This coin was issued by Caesar depicting military trophy.
