For discussion of the political tensions in Rome while Caesar was serving in Gaul and the drift towards Civil War, 58-50 BC.
When Caesar left for Gaul in 58 BC, he left Rome in the hands of Pompey and Crassus. During the next decade increasing riot and turbulence in Rome, the rise of demagogues like Publius Clodius, the death of Crassus and Pompey's manouvering for power, led to a breakdown in Republican functions and the inevitable confrontation between Pompey and Caesar. For discussion of Rome-centered events in the period.
