Brilliant sure, but not based. He started the empire, and with it a long trend of degeneracy and decline leading to the eventual collapse.

>social decadence contributes to political collapse
I'm not saying social decadence is good, but I won''t believe you on this without a source. I mean, I've never seen anyone explain the mechanism behind how this would even work.
>>1313075
>a fully functional republic
>>1314399
I assume it's that a decadent society doesn't care about actual political issues very much since they have so much to distract them.

>implying Caesar was not just a reincarnation of Sulla
Sulla reigns eternal, when he chooses to grace the Earth with his presence again he will do so as the God Emperor of Mankind
>>1313020
What about all those Caesars, Kaisers, Tsars after him?
>>1314399
Decadence leads to apathy, apathy leads to decay.
>>1314426
Caesar was alive when Sulla was in power, there's no possible way he could be his reincarnation.

Sulla works in mysterious ways
Nappy was baser.

*Roman Salute*
>>1314608
Not true
He was granted emergency powers (dictatorship) to btfo the Germans and to restore order in Rome after the riots and shit, but he stood down
Caesar was the first to be sworn in perpetuity
Although I stand firmly in that his intentions were pure and he truly wanted to reform the broken system
>>1313020
>Caesar was one of those who wished to become pre-eminent in Rome; but if he had survived after becoming so, and had not moderated his expenses, he would have destroyed his government.

Caesar kept his enemies alive for this very reason, to keep his ambition in check
He was a truly good man in my opinion, my personal role model
