One damp and chilly January night in northern Italy—in what was then Cisalpine Gaul, or today’s Emilia Romagna—the statesman and accomplished general Julius Caesar crossed the little Rubicon River in possession of an army. This event in 49 BCE set off the Roman Civil War, which ended with Caesar’s victory—and enabled Caesar to become, essentially, the sole ruler of the Roman state.
