Gaius Julius Caesar was a politician and general of the late Roman republic, who greatly extended the Roman empire before seizing power and making himself dictator at Rome. His actions undermined the republic and paved the way for a system of monarchy headed by emperors (he was not himself a Roman emperor). After his death, his name was adopted as a title by all the Roman emperors, as well as by later monarchs (including the Russian 'Tsars' and German 'Kaisers'). His own accounts of his military campaigns, the Gallic War in seven books and the Civil War in three, survive. The Julius Caesar makes a great collector's item or kids toy. The Julius Caesar is very authentic to what they wore during that period of time. These figures come complete as shown (clothing, weapons, swords, armour, dagger, and shields) unless otherwise specified. The kids toys are 1/6 scale and all have moveable body parts and everything can be taken off or put back on.
