This Julius Caesar bust is a Carrara marble reproduction of the bust of Julius Caesar that resides in The Vatican.The Romans insisted on realism in statuary and this commanding statue of Julius Caesar shows us exactly how he looked. You will not find a bust of Julius Caesar with a more honest expression. Julius was known as Rome's dictator under the name of "imperator", and it shows in the bust. He may have been a dictator, but his results were for the people. Julius Caesar The Republic that served Rome for years had become ineffective. Corruption and insurrection were appearing throughout the expand empire. Caesar felt that the remedies must come from one man invested with the authority to govern.The power of his intellect and personality, his brilliant military achievements, his decisiveness and courage to take action and his political astuteness led to his gaining the position of one-man rule.There were those that could not tolerate a one-man rule, Marcus Junius Brutus, Julius best friend, being one of them. Brutus believed that he was serving the cause of liberty and was willing to sacrifce his friend for that cause. So, on the Ides of March 44BC Julius Caesar was felled in the senate chambers, leaving his life-work left unfinished.Julius Caesar may have been brought down yet he stands as a man who changed the course of history. Julius was probably the greatest genius that Rome ever produced; a scholar and writer, a consummate military leader, a statesman with great foresight. And, little is ever said about Julius's personal charm, wit and magnetism.Julius Caesar laid that foundation for a new order which resulted in the greatest of all ancient empires and a civilization that became our inheritance, one which is part of our everyday life now.The Greeks and Romans laid the foundations for a Republic type government and what a better symbol to have than the bust of Julius Caesar to remember what it took to achieve such a tenuous goal and no less by force.
