Julius Ceasar facts
While investigating facts about Julius Ceasar, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Julius Ceasar's only biological son, Caesarion, was the last Pharaoh of Egypt.
Julius Ceasar was once kidnapped by pirates. Insulted by the low ransom they demanded, he insisted they raise it. He also promised to crucify them once he was freed; the pirates took this as a joke, but Ceasar returned with a naval fleet and crucified them.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Julius Ceasar I managed to collect.
