Caesar Conquers Gaul
I, with my troops, have finally conquered Gaul! Rome is victorious. Despite the fact that conquering Gaul took several years, we have finally succeeded. I must thank my troops for being so loyal and devoted. We pu muh time and effort into doing this, but as a result, we have come out on top! Conquering Gaul will have great benefits for Rome (and myself.)

Hello, dear friend. I am Pompey the Great, a great friend and the biggest reason you're still live and have a lot of power. We became partners in the First Triumvirate, and I am the reason you were elected governer of Gaul. I feared you later, and fled to Greece after you passed the Rubicon. We had a big battle and I lost. I fled to Egypt to be assassinated and when you found out, you were devestated at the loss of your fellow ally. As they say, I was friend, ally, and later enemy.

From your post, I see that you have conquered Gaul. I cannot believe that you have done such an achievement. Congragulations Julius Caesar on conquering Gaul. I can see some comparisons between me and you from conquering Gaul between me conquering Rome as an emperor. One thing in common is that we both conquered something. Congragulations Caesar
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Servilia, and you are welcome for the present.
ReplyDeleteNero, thank you for your congratulations; I also congratulate you on becoming emperor. However, I must say one thing. You should have more support from the people otherwise you may meet a terrible end.
ReplyDeleteWow father, I am so proud of your achievement. You have expanded Rome's territory and have shown not just what Caesar can do but what Rome can do. Congrats once again.

Thank you, my dear son. I hope that you may have a great life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job, Caesar! Us six are very proud of having such a fantastic leader like yourself. We will make sure to make a special prayer for you tomorrow!
