The Most Interesting Character in the Matyszak Chapters

I was going to say that the most interesting Character in these past few chapters was Marcus Cicero, because he seems like he actually contributed positively to Rome; However, in all honesty, destructive history done by Julius Caesar is far more interesting to not only me but Hollywood as well. The way he's even introduced is the most interesting as well, saying that he was actually very bald, but too embarrassed to let statues of him depict that. Caesar is a symbol of power, which inherently means brutality and destruction, as seen by his military dictatorship in Rome and Gallic War in Gaul. His only interest was power through war, and not really at all interested in actually being a good ruler to Rome. History, or rather pop culture, has been too kind to Caesar, leaving out just how brutal he had to be to gain the political status that he did. Not only is he responsible for the fall of the Roman Republic, but for his own brutal death. The story of his life, especially in a concise reading, gives the effect of whiplash, describing a very quick, tall climb to the top of Rome and a very hard crash back down to the bottom.
