Worth remembering that most of what we know of Caesar comes directly from Caesar. He is the man that destroyed and ended the republic for no real reason other than power.
Imo Pompeii is far more deserving of the praise that Caesar receives.
This statement is not true.
Cicero and Cato the Younger lived during Caesar's time. Cicero's speeches and texts are very well known and telling on Caesar.
I said 'most' as Caesar created a shitload of propaganda about himself. Obviously, an adept student would look deeper than that, as you have.
