Julius Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC in Rome. He came from a noble family but was not wealthy. His first marriage was to Cornelia who refused to divorce Caesar when ordered by Sulla. To protect himself, Caesar hid from Sulla until being pardoned by his friends. Between 58-52 BC, Caesar wrote his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars which described his military campaigns in Gaul in a clear and objective style, though some bias was present. The work provides valuable historical and ethnographic information on Europe.
