Julius Caesar was a Roman leader who greatly expanded Rome's territory and established himself as a dictator, yet his ambitious pursuit of power led to his assassination. The video discusses how Caesar amassed a great amount of power and influence as he conquered new lands for Rome, but this concentration of power in one man threatened the traditional republican system and independence of the Senate. The accumulation of absolute power is said to corrupt leaders, as it did for Caesar when he was assassinated by a group of senators who feared he wanted to be king.
