Roman Empire and Julius Caesar:
The Roman Empire, a juggernaut of ancient civilisation, thrived from 27 BCE to 476 CE, with its zenith marked by military might, governance, and cultural achievements. Julius Caesar, a military genius and statesman, played a pivotal role. Rising through the political ranks, Caesar's conquests expanded the empire, but his power sparked discontent. His assassination in 44 BCE, led by senators fearing tyranny, marked a turning point. The ensuing power struggle culminated in the rise of Augustus, heralding the Roman Empire's transition to imperial rule.
