What was Caesar's life like?
In 84 BC, Caesar was elected as the priest of the temple of Jupiter in Rome, which was not a high position. This year, 16-year-old Caesar married Corgnet Leah, the daughter of the consul Qin Na. Two years later, Caesar was removed from the priesthood by Sura and went to Asia. Fortunately, he was valued by the governor there and became an officer. After Sura's death, Caesar returned to Rome and devoted himself to the struggle against Sura. He sued the Suras in court and was very popular because of his excellent accusation speech, which was widely copied in Rome.
Caesar constantly improved his prestige among the people in the struggle with elders and nobles. In 68 BC, Caesar was elected as a financial officer, and he mastered the government treasury, military salaries and the right to dispose of military spoils. According to the law, only public officials above the financial officer can enter the Senate, and Caesar has since embarked on the ladder to the highest power in Rome.
At the beginning of 63 BC, the Roman high priest died and needed a by-election. Caesar resolutely took part in the election. As a result, Caesar was miraculously elected and became an authority figure in Roman religious circles.
Soon, Caesar was elected magistrate in 62 BC. The following year, he was awarded the position of Spanish governor by drawing lots. During his two years in Spain, Caesar recruited troops to expand his strength, conquered those tribes that were unwilling to submit to Rome on a large scale, and was awarded the title of "Commander-in-Chief".
In order to run for consul in 59 BC, Caesar rushed back to Rome before the new Spanish governor arrived in Spain. This time, he won the support of all parties through bribery, inducement and other means, and finally got his wish and reached the peak of the Roman regime.
