The Romans gathered forces and surpluses thru taxation much the same way as today,accuring debt to be put on future tax payers in turn furthering it to the nation.A conquest of invasion was a pinnacle of events in any one rulers term .If an invasion was successful then the wealth from it went usually to those tied too it,the politicals and their businessmen elite.Ceasar stirred things up when he wanted a unitey of nations ,gathering the conquered and enviting them to be members of the Senate House.The money which was behind the business of war knew the game was being challenged ,profit could not be made in peace with surrounding countries.He had already been claimed Emperor for 10 yrs and made claims for further rule before his death.The Senators , as history goes,stabbed him 23 times on the Senate floor were he died .The first recorded autopsey in history is that of Ceasars body and is a chilling reminder of what happens to a war slavened country and those who challenge it.
