Caesar says everything he had done it was for the people of Rome. Pompey is moving his cavalry to Caesar right flank. Caesar won the battle against Pompey. He goes into Rome and is named into Dictator for life. It was the end of the republic. Marc Anthony was his right man. He was named master of the horse. There was a civil war in Egypt and goes to help. He put his army with Cleopatra civil war. Her army won with the help of Caesar and they have another affair.
