Because of earlier history, no Roman general was allowed to bring troops south of the Rubicon. The Praetorian Guard was the only military permitted to patrol that territory. Caesar was ordered by the Senate to come to Rome to face charges. Caesar knew that he would likely be charged with treason once he reached Rome because Pompey controlled the Senate. Crossing the Rubicon with his troops was a direct challenge to Pompey’s supporters, and civil war followed.

J, I like Sid Caesar and Caesar salad too.

My favourite Caesar is Billy McNeill captain of the Lisbon Lions. He was given the nickname because he looked like Caesar Romero the actor not Julius emperor of Rome!
