C. Julius Caesar
14 magistracies , aged 53 at this time
Go to term

Brougthon: In this year Caesar completed his campaign in Alexandria, recovered and began his reorganization of the East, including Asia Minor, returned to Italy in September, and after a short stay, during which he had to cope with mutinous soldiers, set out for Africa before the end of the year to deal with the Pompeian forces there (a). While in Rome he made Antony, Dolabella, and others among his followers pay for their purchases of confiscated Pompeian properties (b). To meet the financial emergency, he made property values at the beginning of the war the basis for calculation of payments of debts, remitted interest from the beginning of the war, and released tenants in Rome from payments of rents up to 500 denarii per year, tenants in Italy up to 125 denarii per year (c). For a full citation of the sources, see D.-G. 3.486-511, and 519-522. On the duration of this dictatorship, see 48, note 1.
