| In 60 B.C. to achieve his objective he befriended two leading
generals of Rome, Pompey and Crassus, who were opposed to each other. Caesar
arranged a patch up between the two and with their help established the
First Triumvirate (60-54 B.C.). Then by his political astuteness he won
the election for consul. During his term of offices as Consul, Caesar introduced
many important reforms. Tenet appointment that Caesar got was the commandership
of Roman armies in Gaul for a period of five years. He was murdered under
a conspiracy at the theatre of Pompey on 15th March, 44 B.C. The conspirators
were opposed to the one-man rule of Caesar and they also feared that Caesar
might restore Kingship in Rome for which Romans had great aversion.
