    Caesar’s family background and Marian connections gave him a base to build his career as well as enhancing his reputation and status in society. His family, Gens Julia were of noble patrician roots, but at the time neither rich nor influential. However they were able to claim decent from Trojan prince Aeneas, supposed son of the goddess Venus. This claim to both royal and divine decent gave Caesar high social standing within roman society at the time. Caesar’s aunt Julia was married to Gaius Marius who during Caesar’s infancy was the most powerful man in Rome, holding an unprecedented seven consecutive consulships along with leading the faction known as the populares. These Marian connections were exploited by Caesar himself at every possible opportunity most notably the funerals of his aunt Julia and his wife Cornelia.

In 52 BC, he married Cornelia Metella, the very young widow of Crassus’ son Publius, and the daughter of Caecilius Metellus Scipio, one of Caesar’s greatest enemies. Caesar would probably never really forgive Pompey for refusing his marriage offer, especially for then marrying the daughter of his enemy. These events created a drift between the two men causing Caesar and Pompey to end up on opposite sides of a civil war that tore Rome…
