Julius Caesar: Governor of Further Spain

Spain under ancient Roman control
It is now the year 61 B.C., and I have finally become the governor of Further Spain. I am looking forward to all the great things that lie ahead.

  1. Friend Request; I think that you should except my friend request because I lent you a lot of money to help you become the governor of Spain. I also will soon be part of the FIrst Triumvirate with you.

    Description: This book is a great secondary source. It explains that Marcus Licinius Crassus was very important to Julius Caesar. Marcus was very important to Caesar because Caesar borrowed money from Marcus to help him keep military command in Spain around 61 B.C.

  3. I conquered most of Spain when I left Sulla. I defeated Sertorius, a former ally of Marius, getting the lands of Spain.

  4. However,Pompey, I have now magaged to defeat your troops in Hispania. Many people tried to remain loyal to you; however, with my great military srength, they had no option but to surrender. I am victorious! Now, it is time for me to leave Hispania, but I cannot wait until we meet in the battlefield Pompey.
