Caesar: Army
built 273 days ago
Caesar collected at Brundisium a small army and fleet–so small, in fact, that Bibulus, waiting with a much larger fleet to prevent his crossing to Epirus, did not yet bother to watch him–and slipped across the strait. He met Pompey at Dyrrhachium but was forced to fall back and begin a long retreat southward, with Pompey in pursuit. Near Pharsalus, Caesar camped in a very strategic location. Pompey, who had a far larger army, attacked Caesar but was routed (48 ) and fled to Egypt, where he was killed.

Like many great commanders Caesar did little to reform his army, but took the existing Roman army organization and raised it to the peak of efficiency. He instituted a rigorous programme of training, with regular exercises and route marches which he often led in person. As a leader he was inspirational. Conspicuous bravery was lavishly rewarded with decorations, promotions, and a larger share of the booty. In particular he rewarded his centurions, who figure prominently in his Commentaries for their loyalty and courage. Caesar was ... skilled at fostering unit pride.

In the French Army, Caesar is integrated with the Thales Land and Joint Systems Atlas artillery C4I (command, control, communications and intelligence) system. The system provides onboard terminals for communications and real-time firing sequence management including fowarding of fire-support requests and transmission of firing orders according to target type, ammunition type and gun availability.

Caesar's restless temperament was not satisfied by administration and legislation at Rome. He was preparing equally extensive military campaigns. Trouble was brewing in Dacia across the Danube, and the Parthians had not been punished for the destruction of Crassus' army.

Caesar entered production in June 2006. The first vehicle was delivered to the French Army in April 2007 for extensive firing trials. Further deliveries are planned from 2008–2011. The system has ... been demonstrated in Malaysia and in the USA.

Caesar hunted Pompey and defeated his army. Pompey then escaped to Egypt with Caesar in pursuit. When Caesar arrived in Egypt, the ten-year-old king of Egypt, Ptolemy XIII, presented Caesar with Pompey’s decapitated head.
