On September 23, 63 BC, Gaius Octavius aka Imperator Caesar Divi F. Augustus, founder of the Roman Empire and first Emperor was born. The Roman Empire as a follow up of the former Roman Republic existed for almost four centuries, before it was divided up into Western and Eastern Roman Empire. While the western port deceased to exist in the 5th century AD, the eastern part continued to prosper for almost a millenium until the Ottoman invasion in the 15th century.
On August 12, 30BC, ancient Egyptian pharao Cleopatra VII Philopator, known to history simply as Cleopatra, passed away under myserious circumstances. After Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as Augustus). To this day, Cleopatra remains a popular figure in Western culture. Her legacy survives in numerous works of art and the many dramatizations of her story in literature and film.
Spuren eines Walls und eines Grabens nahe Trier haben sich als das älteste Römerlager herausgestellt, das bisher in Deutschland entdeckt wurde. Die Anlage bei Hermeskeil aus den 50er Jahren v. Chr. diente offenbar einst als wichtiger Stützpunkt im Krieg gegen die Gallier.
Archäologen der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz haben in der Nähe von Hermeskeil, gut 30 Kilometer südöstlich von Trier im Hunsrück gelegen, das bislang älteste römische Militärlager in Deutschland nachgewiesen und damit neue Erkenntnisse über die Eroberung Galliens gewonnen.
On this very day in the year 47 BC the Roman dictator Gaius Iulius Caesar won the battle of Zela against Pharnaces II. king of Pontus. As the Roman victory was won rather quickly, Caesar wanted to emphasize that very fact by the brevity and conciseness of his report sent to the senate and people of Rome. He only wrote three little words:
"Veni, Vidi, Vici."
