  • Summary

  • Once Vercingetorix was in chains and the Gallic Wars over, you might have thought Caesar would be in for a well-earned rest.

    But Pompey and the Optimates in the Roman Senate were jealous and wanted Caesar back in Rome so they could prosecute him for any number of crimes - including his conquest of Gaul, which they had never given permission for.

    But Caesar wasn't about to spend the rest of his life in court, jail or exile, and sought to outmanoeuvre the Senate.

    The Optimates and Pompey sought to drag Caesar back to Rome.

    It ended in a tussle which led Caesar to the banks of the Rubicon, and the biggest decision of his life.
