Interview with Julius Caesar 
Q: Who was your general, and who were you?
A: I was a military commander, and my general was Pompey.
Q: What did you do in 58 B.C.E?
A: I set out with an army for 9 years. Pompey behind my back persuaded a senate order to disband my army and send me home.
Q: What did you do then?
A: I defied the order! And then I secretly led my army across the Rubicon River in Northern Italy, and crushed Pompey and his supporters.
Q: Wow. Revenge?
A: Ah yes. And then I forced the senate to make me dictator. What a feat. I, of course, kept the senate and other republic things in tact, although I was the absolute ruler.
Q: So then what?
A: Well I did what anyone would do, made my self noticeable. Between 48-44 B.C.E I pushed through a number of reforms. I launched public works to employ the jobless, and gave public land to the poor. I also granted citizenship to more people. Plus, I introduced present day's calendar!
Q: So, if you had done so much good, why did people want to kill you?
A: They believed I was going to crown myself King, something they did not want to happen. So in 44 B.C.E, I was stabbed to death by the senate.
Q: oh.. wow. Well thanks for your time!
A: no problem!
