![]() ![]() Arcade brings up the namesake's life to refute Caesar's perspective, believing it a folly to try and recreate the past under entirely different conditions.Caesar (Edward Sallow) is described in-game and in supplementary materials as wishing to emulate the military and political success of Julius Caesar, and to become venerated as a god-emperor as he believes Julius Caesar was (which was instead part of the reason for his assassination), to the point of writing his own Commentarii like Julius Caesar did.Julius Caesar's life and accomplishments are referred to by both Edward Sallow, the man who took his name and deeds as inspiration, and by Arcade Gannon, who holds a different, negative view towards the connection.These events directly led into the fall of the Roman Republic and its transition into an empire. On the Ides of March (15 March), 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators led by Gaius Cassius Longinus, Marcus Junius Brutus, and Decimus Junius Brutus, who stabbed him to death. His populist and authoritarian reforms angered Roman elites, who began to conspire against him.

These achievements granted him unmatched military power but also caused him to be seen as a threat by elites within the Roman Senate, who ordered for Caesar to give up his command and return to Rome. Caesar's wars extended Rome's territory to Britain and past Gaul. Julius Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through his accomplishments, such as his military victories in the Gallic Wars. ![]()
