In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar, governor of Gaul, and his legion forded the Rubicon, the dividing line between Gaul and Italy, and marched on Rome, thus declaring civil war.
Rome was the last of the free cities that had existed throughout the Mediterranean. They had vanished and finally only Rome, a republic, remained. Her people were free citizens of the republic, not subjects of a single ruler. The Roman Republic of a thousand years ended with Caesar’s invasion and the Roman Empire and rule of emperors – actually dictators – began.
The founders of our republic drew in part from the republican pillars of Rome as well as those of Athens and also from the Magna Carta in forming our country. They recognized the critical necessity of these and other imperatives to the construction and continuance of a democratic republic.
