These half-truths consist of the embellishment of certain characteristics and features of the Gallic Wars and are most certainly

Yes, the Romans were able to destroy the person that they thought was the threat to the Republic, but it was the position not the person that was the threat. With Julius Caesar gone, the void was still there for someone to fill.
