The reform of the Gragu brothers caused by the internal slave crisis in Rome failed. The kind words of our own people are often useless, and the internal crisis of Rome is still there. It also depends on external destruction. A war completely exposed Rome's internal contradictions before it realizes that you really have problems.

Do you remember how the Third Punic War was provoked? Rome instigated his younger brother Numidia to provoke Carthage , which gave Rome an excuse to send troops. Around 111 BC, my younger brother Numidia grew up and began to savor Rome. Rome's expeditionary forces continued to fail, and internal contradictions made Rome not have enough economic and military strength to defeat Numidia. The times create heroes. In 107 BC, Mario was elected as the consul. Faced with the failure of North African battlefield , he first looked for problems from the inside and learned from Gragu to reform. The recruitment system is used to replace the conscription system, breaking the property restrictions of the civilian system; extending the service life of soldiers to 16 years, and after retirement, a piece of land can be obtained from the state as compensation; implementing fixed military pay, reforming the military organization, and adjusting the tactical formation; unifying weapons and equipment, introducing the gladiator's training model into the army, and enhancing individual combat capabilities; soldiers are required to carry marching mounts and putting excavation tools, and are nicknamed Marriott mules.
After military reform, Mallor led his army to North Africa in 106 BC, and Sula joined the army as a noble child to follow Mallor. The reformed Roman legion regained its firepower, defeated Numidia on the battlefield in North Africa, and returned triumphantly.
The wheel of history rolls forward, and Rome always changes in passively. After the slaves had finished making a fuss, my younger brother had made a fuss; after the younger brother had made a fuss, the allies took the stage this time. The Italian cities of Rome expanded their rule, and they paid for the Roman foreign war and became ally of Rome. However, they did not have the civil power of Rome in politics and had no right to participate in national affairs. To put it bluntly, they were better than slaves in politics. In order to win the civil rights of Rome, from 90 BC to 88 BC, the allies united to launch an armed struggle against Rome. At this time, Mario's younger brother Sura showed his strength. Although Rome suppressed it, the allies finally won the right to citizenship.
In 89 BC, the Mitridati (Pathia) war broke out in Asia Minor, and the King of Mitridati marched into the ADB. In 88 BC, Sula, who had already achieved great cultivation, was appointed as the consul, to quell the rebellion on an expedition. The veteran power, Maluo, was very angry and wanted to win the power to lead the army. He and the Protective Alliance were relieved of Sula from the position of commander-in-chief through the citizen meeting , and Maluo was appointed. Before Sula's army could go far, he immediately returned to Rome after hearing the news, drove away the power of Malio and restored the rule of the elders. The Eastern Expedition was then achieved a series of victories, and the peace treaty was concluded in 85 BC, and Mitridati gave up resistance. In 83 BC, Sula returned to Rome triumphantly and continued to serve as a dictator. Just as history reappears, two younger brothers come: Crassus , Pompei and other noble young men join. Until 79 BC, Sula voluntarily gave up her dictatorship, lived in seclusion in Rome and lived in peace and life, becoming the only dictator who escaped without any loss.
In the spring of 73, Spartak appeared in the Capua Arena. Spartac was a Thracian, who served in Roman army , and later fled to fight for freedom. He was arrested and became a gladiator. Because he could not bear the inhuman treatment of gladiators, he led more than 70 slaves to revolt . The rebel team used Vesuvius as the base, and then the followers continued to come to support, and the team increased to 10,000 people. In the spring of 72 BC, the uprising team expanded to 120,000 people, defeating the Roman legion led by the consul. The team headed north and defeated the Roman army all the way, with a team of 120,000 people. After arriving in northern Italy, differences arose within the rebels: some wanted to cross the Alps and some wanted to obtain land through struggle. The team split and Sparta led half of the team south to cross Messina and occupy Sicily. At this time, Senate appointed Crassus as the commander-in-chief of the army and wiped out. In the 71st BC, Spartac died in the battle of Apulia, and then the slave uprising was suppressed.Although the uprising failed, it severely hit the slave owner class, weakened the Roman ruling order, and accelerated the transition from the Republic to the imperial system.
The last of the three giants- Caesar appeared on the political stage as a noble family. In the situation where Pompei and Crassus competed, Caesar won the favor of the Senate nobles. He was elected as the consul in 62 BC and served as the governor of Spain after his term expired. In 60 BC, he returned to Rome and ran for the consul again. Originally, he wanted to balance Crassus and Pompeii, but he raised another tiger, and the Senate completely lost control of Rome. After leaving office, from 67 to 62 BC, Pompei was appointed commander, expeditioned to Asia Minor, pacified Mitridati, and at the same time turned Syria into a Roman province. The results of the war were brilliant again. After returning to Rome, a triumphal ceremony was held based on the military achievements of the Senate. However, because Pompei's policies implemented in Syria were criticized by the Senate, he began to fight against the Senate. After leaving office, Crassu, relying on his political prestige, accumulated a lot of wealth in Rome, recruited forces from all sides, and suppressed Pompei.
Julius Caesar
The last of the three giants officially debuted. Caesar entered the political stage as a noble family. In the situation where Pompeii and Crasso competed with each other, Caesar won the favor of the Senate nobles. He was elected as the consul in 62 BC and served as the governor of Spain after his term expired. In 60 BC, he returned to Rome. He ran for the consul again, originally wanted to balance Crassus and Pompeii, but he raised another tiger, and the Senate completely lost control of Rome.
Caesar took the initiative to reconcile the conflict between Pompei and Crassus. The three thought: The Senate is the common enemy, and neither side is enough to check and balance the Senate nobles. The three simply joined forces to reach a secret agreement to jointly fight the Senate. In 59 BC, Caesar was elected consul. After resigning, he served as Governor of Gaul, and continued to advance northward, expanding territory for Rome and gaining political reputation. Pompeii and Crassus began to be wary of Caesar again. At the same time, the Senate, led by Cicero, began to make things difficult for Caesar and suppress his political prestige. The three stakeholders were led by Caesar to hold the Luka talks, and reached another agreement: extend the term of the Governor of Caesar Gaul, and Pompeii and Crassu served as consuls for 55 years. After
, Crassus fought in Parthia as the consul, unfortunately died on the battlefield. First 54, Pompei's wife, Yulia, also Caesar's daughter, died, which means that the political marriage between Caesar and Pompeii has broken down. In 52 BC, Caesar further recovered Northern Gallic and his reputation grew. In order to control Caesar, the Senate appointed Pompei as the consul who had no colleagues, and actually established Pompei's dictatorship. After the term of governor of Caesar Gaul ended, the Senate ordered the removal of Caesar's military power and returned to Rome to report his duties. Caesar refused, and the Senate authorized Pompei to quell the rebellion. In 49 BC, Caesar led his army to Rome. Pompei lost to some elders and fled to Greece . Caesar chased him all the way to Egyptian , and the Egyptian Pharaoh Ptolemy's Thirteenth Division killed Pompey who came to hide from trouble to Caesar.
Caesar's death
45 years ago, with Pompei being killed, the civil war ended. Caesar met Cleopatra, and after a slutty operation, he helped him ascend to the Egyptian pharaoh, Cleopatra, and gave birth to Caesar's only son. In 44 BC, Caesar returned to Rome and was appointed as the lifelong dictator. In March, the conservative senator, led by Brutu and Kassiyo, murdered Caesar in the Senate in order to maintain the rule of the Roman Republic and prevent Caesar from dictatorship. On March 15, this day was called the day of Patriarchy in the West because Brutu was Caesar's adopted son. But Brutu's ancestors were one of the elders who overthrew Tuckwen during the reign of the royal government. His mission of maintaining the republic was deeply rooted and he finally stabbed Caesar with a knife.
