Anyone who believes that Julius Caeser was not that great a general is ignorant. He was highly innovative and his tactics were more dynamic than either Napoleon or Rommel. And I agree with the suggestion that Scipio Africanus should be on the list - the guy was a genius.

Is there any "real" proof that he ever lived or led?

To whom are you referring? Caesar? Scipio? Rommel?
Given the formidable changes in battle tactics and weaponry over the centuries, I'd find it hard to compare, for example, Caesar with Rommel or Paton. Nor do I thinks it's fair to try to do so.

Dear sir or lady, can you actually find any first hand information that this particular Caesar ever existed? I dare you to present to us any factual work that cannot be challenged as "fake" or "second hand" or a number of other disparaging words!

In other words any information that could be admitted into a "Court of Law?" Smile!

I even know the answer!

Sorry, I had to ask! Ron

Ron, if you insist with this stuff, keep it in the alternative history forum. There are folks here who think you've lost it and have emailed me expressing this.
