The Most Interesting Character in the Matyszak Chapters
After reading the Matyszak Chapters I found that the most interesting character was Julius Caeser because of the lasting impact he made on the Roman Empire. Caeser had many careers in his lifetime, first, he was Flamen Dialis which was a title of very senior priesthood but this made it impossible for Caeser to hold any other political office. Caeser didn't like this and therefore annulled these acts, in 73 Caeser regained some religious honors and became Pontifex. In 63 Caeser did the unthinkable and ran against a highly regarded politician for the post of Pontifex Maximus, Caeser won through bribery. Later in Caeser became praetor and then the Senate suspended him from office, a couple years later Caeser persuaded Crassus and Pompey to abandon their rivalry and become allies, with the threes separate strengths they became unstoppable. For the rest of Caesars years, he conquered numerous civilizations and by 47 he was the master of Rome and has left an unforgettable footprint that has continued to fascinate the modern world today.

Caesar's life reads like a novel. He was ruthless and had lots of blood on his hands. But he was also an incredibly gifted politician and a very smart and interesting man.
