Caesar sorting Rome’s problems
When Caesar returns to Rome after 3 years fighting a civil war against Pompey, the city is in dire straits. Caesar ensures he is made dictator for ten years, and then sets about implementing a program of reforms. He fixes Rome’s grain supply and the mass of Roman people are fed. He repairs Rome’s crumbling infrastructure, and has the Senate rebuilt. HE also amends the Roman calendar – the same calendar we still use today.
