 Julius Caesar - Crystalinks
Caesar's gens, the Julii, were patricians; i.e., members of Rome's original aristocracy, which had coalesced in the 4th century BC with a number of leading plebeian (commoner) families to form the nobility that had been the governing class in Rome since then.
Caesar then defeated an attack on the Roman army on the march and was thus able to besiege Vercingetorix in Alesia, to the northwest of Dijon.
Caesar's success in building up his political power had made the champions of the old regime so implacably hostile to him that he was now faced with a choice between putting himself at his enemies' mercy or seizing the monopoly of power at which he was accused of aiming.

Caesar was a political ally of Pompey's at this time, and Catullus denounced both of them (Poem 29), as did his friend Calvus.
In Poem 11 Catullus refers to the Caesar' campaigns in Gaul and Britain ("the memorials of great Caesar"), but his praise is doubtless ironic.
When he addresses Caesar as "imperator unice (you one and only general)" in Poem 29 and Poem 54, he is again being sarcastic.
