Around Julis Caesar there were many people who are still famous and renowned today. These include Pompey, Cicero and Crassus among others. Although these people were undoubtably large characters I am interested to know whether they would have been as famous in their own right had Caesar not existed.
Also what would have led to so many large and talented personalities all being around at the same time? Why are characters such as Scipio Africanus not remembered as well when they certainly had similar levels of talent and fame at the time?
Is it inevitable that the end of any regime will throw up famous names that will remain famous for thousands of years (Trotsky, Lenin Stalin)? Is there another reason for these names being so famous? Did the Romans consider the leaders of this time (not Caesar himself) to be more talented than previously or is it just the way we remember them?
