The number of legions expanded from 4,500 to 6,000; new establishments were added, and engineering and mechanical equipment were added. Strengthen military discipline and training.

    Caesar dictatorship

    Caesar dictatorship
    First of all, he destroyed the old aristocrat republican system in a destructive manner, concentrated the military and political power, and basically completed the transition to the monarchy.

He raised the status of Italian cities and towns equal to Rome, raised the status of all the provinces to equal Italy, and gave citizenship to the sub-Romans.
