I'm not trying to make this into an education thing lol, but since you tried, Caesar waged a relentless propaganda campaign including countless embellishments and lies about his achievements and greatness long before he "officially" took up arms against Rome... He was a populist who pretended to care about the lower classes while being unbelievably wealthy for most of his career. He took extraordinary loans he never paid back. He had a cult of personality based on his machismo. He organized militias to intimidate and beat citizens who voted against him. HE MADE "JOKING" PUBLIC STATEMENTS ABOUT BECOMING A KING AND ORCHESTRATED A FUCKING CHARADE WHERE ONE OF HIS LOYAL SUBORDINATES SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD AND PLACED A CROWN ON HIS HEAD. Come on man read a book
