    Caesar is probably my favourite too. Others are Peter the Great, Alexander the Great, Aleksandr Nevski, Suvorov..

    Charlemagne and Alexander the Great - because they built as much as they conquered.

    Chinggis Khaan.

    Reasons:

    1) Obviously, a stalwart general.

    2) He started from a group of warring tribes, united them, and ended up creating a massive empire from it.

    3) Promoted trade, reestablished the silk road, thus reviving European interest in trading for eastern goods, resulting in the discovery of the new world.(where I currently live)

    4) Established a policy of diplomatic immunity, going so far as to establish protection for diplomats and traders. It was said that a girl with a bag of gold could go from one end of the empire to the other and be untouched.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
