His full name was Gaius JuliusCaesar, which was also the name of both his father and grandfather. J J As a child Caesar was groomed, almost from birth, to takehis place in the senatorial oligarchy. He was left in the care ofhis mother until he was seven to ensure he would be a "Vir Bonus" (agood man). He took lessons in the family home and was instructed inthe traditional Roman virtues of endurance, frugality, simplicity,religious devotion, and the avoidance of wrongdoing. He was alsotaught to respect the acheivements of his uncle Marius, a renownedgeneral.J J Caesar started traditional school at the age of seven in aconverted shop at the heart of Romes' commercial district. Sittingon a backless bench, he was required to recite long passages ofRoman and Greek prose with the threaJ vere discipline from theteacher if he erred. He also had to memorize much of the Roman legalcode and perfect the art of public speaking.J J During Caesar's childhood Roman politics became increasinglytangled and turbulent until the Senate split into two camps, theOptimates who supported dominance of senate by nobles and thePopulares who appealed directly to the people.J J Caesar associated himself mainly with Populare group, hisfamily having a strong connection with the Populare faction throughmarriage.J J In 85 B.C., when his father died, Caesar became head of thefamily. Members of Caesar's clan had decided that he should pursue areligious career as a priest of Jupiter. He followed this plan untilhe had reached a position above which he would have been foreverforbidden from engaging in public life. It was at this point thatCaesar changed his career and entered into politics.J J His first move toward power was in 84 B.C. when he marriedCornelia, daugJ thePopulare faction.J J In 83 B.C. Sulla, an Optimate member of the Senate, returnedfrom a military expedition to the East and marched his army againstthe government of Rome. After winning the ensuing civil war Sullaproclaimed himself dictator and initiated a rein of terror.J J During his reign thousands of political opponents werekilled and their property confiscated. Lists of his enemies, orproscriptions, were posted in the Forum on wooden tablets. Caesarbarely escaped being proscribed only because of his youth andinexperience.J J Sulla did not kill Caesar but instead demanded that, as anact of good faith to Romes' new ruler, he should divorce Corneliaand marry a woman with connections to the conservative factions.Caesar  rejected this demand.J J Caesar became worried that his life might be in danger andso fled to the hills of Italy where he lived for a time as afugitive. In 78 B.C., having received news of Sulla's death, Caesardecided to return s captured by pirates and Caesar was takenhostage. Caesar was released upon the payment of a ransom and thepirates no doubt thought that they would never hear from him again.They were wrong. Caesar assembled an army and annihilated thepirates.J                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 J In 73 B.C.
