I've watched Historia Civilis videos on Caesar and Augustus. I won't say Caesar was a great guy all around and he definitely was a tyrant but I feel he did more good than the entire Senate combined when it comes to the people of Rome. How many people have left a significant amount of their fortune to be distributed amongst the people when they die thru history, very few. Caesar also spent vast fortunes of his own money improving Rome's infrastructure. I think it was really the lesser of two evils situation and the Senate in my view was far more evil.
