This would help him to become one of the best orators in all of Rome. However, his son would survive his death and would later benefit from the extensive education that he had given his son. It is said that another Caesar (possibly his own father) had died in the same manner, instead in Pisa. While in Rome, Caesar’s father suddenly lost his life in 85 BC, simply slipping into his shoes at the start of the day. Records uncovered about Gaius state that he served as commissioner in a colony at Cercina (probably Marius-affiliated in 103 BC), praetor, quaestor, military tribune, and proconsul of Asia during his lifetime. In his career, Gaius quickly became a fixture in Roman political scenes, even though exact dates that he held offices are still under debate. As for more family members, Gaius had a brother named Sextus Julius Caesar, who was consul in 91 BC. The union produced two daughters, who they both named Julia and a son, Julius, who was born in 100 BC.
Caesar’s father married Aurelia Cotta, who belonged to the Aurelii and Rutilii families. Gaius Julius Caesar (140 BC – 85 BC) served as a Roman senator and was a great supporter of his brother-in-law Gaius Mairus, but he would become more known as the father of Julius Caesar. Without Gaius Julius Caesar and Aurelia Cotta, there would be “Hail Caesar’s” heard during ancient Roman times. However, while Caesar played an important role in the politics of ancient Rome, have you ever stopped to think who conceived this powerful man, who led Rome’s military at one time.
Julius Caesar was much more than a character in a William Shakespeare play, as he was a living, breathing man who turned out to become one of most influential and well known of men in history.
