18. The Consulship of Julius and Caesar (Part I)

Julius Caesar wins the Consulship in a landslide. Despite this, he is put in a political corner by Cato and the Optimates’ maneuverings ahead of his year in office. Caesar will need to use all of his charm, charisma and political acumen to find a creative solution around that immovable object that is Cato. Necessity is the mother of invention and soon one of history’s most famous alliances is born. Caesar then starts off his consulship with a bang, unleashing a flurry of major legislation to the Optimates' displeasure.
