    Always seemed to me that Julius Caesar was a fairly exceptional and naturally gifted individual, but I could be wrong. I'm actually in the middle of reading a the Conquest of Gaul which, even though it appears to be a propaganda piece, does seem to be masterfully written.

    I too try to role play my characters, but I will try to kill of stupid or disloyal family members if I think my faction leader would act in such a heartless manner.

    Pompey & Crassus=money & influence; Caesar=genius minus the money & influence,

    pompeius had a fair measure of intelligence as well....although cicero tries to bring him down to a mindless killing machine as opposed to a politically astute statesmen...there's certainly different readings.

    forward wind 60 years, the same difference in opinion can be seen about Tiberius - great leader or evil b*stard?

    I agree, Caesar was a genius and talented in almost every field. Also, his style in writing was considered by his contemporaries an example of concise, elegant latin (even by Cicero if I remember well).

    I remember from my class lessons my Latin professor pointing out the very original grammatical constructions that Caesar used: a serie of sentences describing a situation, with the most important action or subject at the end. For example: "having the Boi revolted, and having the Averni joined them breaking the treaties, Caesar marched North to face them."

    P.S.: I just made up the sentence as an example, don't search it in the de bello gallico :)
