The calendar. Without Julius Cesar you wouldn't have July... He was also the creator of the Julian Calendar, I believe.
Julius Cesar was also the conqueror of the Galias, so without him most of Northern Europe wouldn't be "Western" today. ------------- |

| French? Without his conquest of Gaul would we have that particular 'decadent' form of Latin being spoken in that region of Europe that eventually came to be France? |

Also the Roman scouting mission into Britain - if it wasn't for Caesar, it's highly likely that Claudius wouldn't have had the mass of information neccesary to consider invading and practically invade Britain. There is also the end of the Roman republic, although this does go into some very contraversial areas (Professor Syme et al), Julius Caesar was, whatever your historical position, one of the key figures in the downfall of the Roman republic.
There is also his reformations in his legions in Gaul (I'm not quite sure about the details of them...) which were implemented into later Roman military forces.
There is also Ptolemaic Egypt - he solved the dispute between Ptolemy XIV and Cleopatra VII, helping implement Egypt into the Roman empire. ------------- |

| I'm no expert but i do recall Mussolini being heavily influenced by ancient Roman culture and customs (particularly Ceasar) so maybe there is another angle to explore? |

I guess, but he could have picked any Italian hero for his inspiration. ------------- http://swagbucks.com/refer/Malachi">

Not just Mussolini - THE WHOLE OF EUROPE FOR CENTURIES! I'm not a 19th century historian, so I don't like to think of single figures as the movers and shakers of empires, but it was this brilliant general who conquered Gaul and ultimatley gave the empire a new system of government that had enough stablity to surivive the problems of the republic and create a long-lasting empire that still has an impact on our culture today. ------------- |
