Julius
IVLIVS
In all the years Rome has stood, [the Gates of War] have been closed only twice. While I was Emperor, the Senate ordered them shut three times.
—The Victories of Augustus the God
Is Rome actually good? No cuck shit, no niggers, no "muh ebul mean caesar ruined muh democracy :((((((" garbage?
Technically, the Gracchus brothers ruined muh democracy first. Julius was just one of the last straws on a long line that came after them (Tiberius Gracchus → Gaius Gracchus → Gaius Marius → Lucius Sula → the First Triumvirate → Julius Caesar → the Second Trumvirate → Augustus Caesar)
It's somewhat gay but it's the best you'll get from HBO or tv in general.
Ugh, the Romans and their hateful patriarchal ways who gave birth to Frondald Fumpftf hateful rethoric!
Oh yea of course the republic's (inevitable) corruption and fall was a process but I've had plenty of history teachers present Caesar as an evil Tyrant who ruined muh freedums.
That's because he was the culmination of the process, so it's easy to point him as "the one to blame" in History classes for children, I guess. Roman histor is, of course, so much more fascinating than that kind of simplification, but most people don't care about it and end carrying those misconceptions to their graves.
