Proletarian- In ancient Rome, a property less but voting class.
With the change of Rome's society and politics of its armies their commanders also changed. Instead of the farmer soldiers of the old it was now landless and property less proletarians who were drafted to fill the ranks of the legions.
Rome's soldiers were now "semi professional"
Many soldiers were in it for the money
Julius Caesar collaborated with Pompey and Crassus. They formed a triumvirate (three man board)
Caesar won an appointment as proconsul of a province that included the southern regions of Gaul.
Caesar had conquered most of Gaul and made some small progress in Britain and Germany.
He now has a lot of land and an elite army personally loyal to him
Rubicon was the border where Caesar had to decide to not take his army or disband them and go with a small force because the senate ordered him not to as he was gaining too much personally glory
Caesar had pretty much taken over taking control of all the government .
