He was an old Roman Emperor who enlarged the Roman territories by his conquests. He was unique in that he made civic improvements and roadways in the conquered countries. He carved out a month from the year and took 31 days for July which is named after him. He was killed in a political skirmish.
His descendants came up with the idea of mixing oil, vinegar, garlic and anchovies to make a salad dressing for Romaine lettuce named in honor of him.

He was the Hitler of his day. I think we glorify him in literature with romantic notions and of fantasies of greatness. This is probably because it is ancient history so we overlook all the death and destruction. Also his name lives forever because of his early murder. He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. As already stated, the modern opinion is he allowed for his own death, making it just as much a suicide as it was a murder.
He created a name and an Empire by the blood of Barbarians. Barbarians being regular people that the Romans thought to be subhuman, substandard and unworthy. Propaganda that makes them easier to kill. He entered politics of a Republic that held elections, wins with dirty politics, then declared himself dictator. This kills the Republic (democracy) and created a dictatorship that lasts for a long time. He lasted less than 5 years before they couldn’t stand him enough to kill him. After his death, he left the Empire in a civil war.
It is fine to think of him as a significant and notorious figure in shaping the history of the world. Just like Hitler who also noticed the similarities. That's why he called it the Thousand year Reich.

I don't like him. I had to read that crap in high school and I hated it so I'm still mad at Julius Ceasar.

He was a genius. To preserve is image and make him a legend-one that would never be forgotten-he may have crafted his own suicide in a "death-by-cop" (or senators) situation.

He was the George Bush of his day - but with brains.

In my opinion, as a leader, he was too forgiving. Ultimately, this led to his demise.
