Eli5: Why was it world-changing that Caesar crossed the Rubicon?
In: 1397
It wasn’t world-changing, it was **Rome-changing**. And it wasn’t even that unprecedented, since Sulla had done the same thing 31 years before, only he took the side of the Optimates (the rich people). Caesar took the side of the Populares, the poor people, and the rich Senators assassinated him.
