Gaius Julius Caesar was a Roman general and statesman. A member of the First Triumvirate, Caesar led the Roman armies in the Gallic Wars before defeating his political rival Pompey in a civil war and subsequently became dictator of Rome from 49 BC until his assassination in 44 BC. Here are some of the Julius Caesar quotes from William Shakespeare.
