THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Caesar was one of the leading mass murderers of his time. And one of its greatest generals.
He took an army into Gaul (present-day France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany).
At the time, there were some 3 million people in the area. He killed a million of them. Another million died of starvation and disease. A million were left.
Gaul was probably the Iraq or Afghanistan of the day. It “harbored terrorists,” said senators in Rome. Besides, some of its Celtic tribes had invaded Rome itself 400 years earlier.
"Veni, vidi, vici,” wrote Caesar.
But while he could subdue millions of barbarians, he couldn’t stop his own senate companions from stabbing him to death on the 15th of March, 44 B.C.
What goes around, comes around.
