Julius Caesar Was an Inneffective Leader

Julius Caesar is a prime example of an in effective leader. Caesar always seemed to have good intentions and definenetly loved Rome, but his egotistical side and his ambition scared many. Caesar was loved by most lower class romans; that said all roman leaders were adored by this class.
