And his army was seeming to being defeated.
And Caesar came out to fight too

Caesar's victory at Alesia is still regarded at one of the most brilliant battles in history .
Caesar was not just a good solider, he was a good political person.
Caesar wanted to change the politics of Rome.
He wanted to change the fact that Rome was ran by Aristocrats.
He wanted to be the ruler.

He thought that the government needed reform, an new type of government.
So, Caesar came across his the territories with his army.

- Pompey
- Cresses
He crosses the Rubicon. Which is now a saying today.
Caesar takes over Rome.
He gets the money from the treasury.
After Caesar started to get more power and money, Pompey decided to break up the Triumvirate . He disagreed with Caesar . Caesar is now in a fight with Pompey.
He decimate the 9th legion
Which means he killed one in every 10 people in front of the rest.
