What was Caesars ultimate goal? Was it to build a better new Rome or was he just power hungry?

Wew.
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"
Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

Modern Armenia would be far from subduing Parthia
>>943269
True but he was looking to take some crazy detour to conquer more shit after the parthians. If hid plan worked, he would have come back in Italy from the north, with the german Vercingetorix chained at his feet too.

I thought he was planning to attack Dacia, Rome avoided fighting Parthia like the plague.

>this stale meme
Rome started most wars against Parthia. And why would they be scared? The most common result of the war was Ctesiphon razed to the ground.

Ceasar was a bizzaro Sulla

Yes young anon, this is pasta.

If you read the book "The Roman Revolution" it states that the system of government designed for a city state was woefully inadequate to govern a sprawling empire that it had acquired, not to mention the tiny patrician class held undue power and wealth simply due to the number of plebs and other non citizens expanding so rapidly alongside expansion while their numbers stayed the same. You ended up with people richer than any others in history and dominating all of the quality land leading to unrest.
Caesar merely contributed what Marius and Sulla did in reforming Rome and bolstering the plebs

to acquire sources of grain and transport it to his troops
