Key Notes
Caesar's decision to give up a triumph for the consulship shows that his opponents underestimated him because he understood their expectations better than they understood him.
As consul, Caesar pushes land reform and seeks Gaul for glory, while the optimates try to block him by assigning the next consul to Italy where wars and triumphs are impossible.
