Julius Caesar: Military Genius, Cleopatra's Lover & Fateful Assassination

[@Atomhaz]

The senate declared him dictator for life.. he didn’t declare it himself. Your presentation style is awesome but please fact check.

I'm glad you appreciate it . You are correct that Julius Caesar did not explicitly declare himself as "dictator for life." However, he was appointed as "dictator perpetuo" (dictator in perpetuity) by the Roman Senate in 44 BC. This title essentially made him the ruler of Rome for life, even though the term "dictator for life" was not used explicitly. Caesar's actions leading up to this point, such as consolidating power and making changes to the Roman political system, set the stage for his appointment to this position.
