Caesar, Julius Roman politician and general. Born in 100BC of a leading patrician family, Caesar rose to be consul in 59 BC. His command included the Roman province of southern Gaul. In a series of brilliant campaigns from 58 to 54 BC he conquered Gaul as far as the Rhine. Late in the campaigning season of 55 BC he invaded Britain, but retreated when his fleet was wrecked by storms. The following year he returned and defeated the tribes of south‐eastern Britain under
Cassivellaunus. For these incursions into a semi‐mythical island the Senate voted a longer thanks giving than for the conquest of Gaul.
