Answer:

It's based on your opinion, but heres some background to make up your mind.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Ancient Rome, each year they elected two consults to be their rulers to serve for one year. They shared power and were elected from the senate. Caesar became one of these consults and became very popular. Eventually he remained consult for many years although his term was, and he even became the only consult. He became a dictator and was very popular and helped expand the Roman empire. Those in the senate were angry about his power and eventually turned on him and stabbed him 23 times.
