Julius Caesar Coloring Page

In 49 BC Julius Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River in Italy, which was against Rome’s rules, and a civil war followed. He won it, and soon he was dictator of Rome. He also brought in a new calendar with 365 days and a leap year, and that’s the basis of the one we use today.

The month of July is named after him. Some senators feared he wanted to be king, and on the Ides of March in 44 BC a group of them attacked him in the Senate. Shakespeare later wrote a famous play about it.
