Julius Caesar and the foundation of the Roman imperial system . wasterrible, for the soldiers had the bit between theirteeth, and slaughtered even those who surrendered, under Caesars very eyes. They were taking theirrevenge for the restraint that had been so longplaced on them, a restraint which had probably beenone cause of their recent mutiny. | Caesars humanityhad tried their patience too hard, and he now hadto learn that there was a limit to his power overthem.
