>>16568202Caesar was a FAILURE OF A POLITICIAN.
He was popular and a great general and Yada Yada Yada. But he was a FAILURE. AN OVERZEALOUS, POWER-HUNGRY FAILURE WHO COULDNT EVEN TAKE THE BAREST NECESSARY STEPS TO DISGUISE HIMSELF.
AUGUSTUS WAS ONE THOUSAND TIMES HIS UNCLE, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT POWER WAS TO BE HELD IN SUCH A WAY THAT THOSE YOU RULE SEE YOU AS THEIR CHAMPION, NOT THEIR OVERLORD. CAESAR WAS A KING WHEN KINGS HAD LOST. ROME NEEDED AN EMPEROR.
