Son of rich parents, his upbringing was modest. Julius Caesar, unlike other boys of his time, knew no luxury like jewels, expensive clothing and exotic food. His education was also different from that of other boys of his time. Generally Roman boys were tutored by Greek slaves bought by their parents. However, Caesar's father, Gaius Caesar and mother Aurelia wanted Caesar to be tutored by a freeman. Gnipho, a gentle scholar was appointed as his tutor. He was a Gaul. From him Caesar learnt Latin, Greek, history, literature and mathematics. He also learnt the language and ways of the people of Gaul. The young Gaul Caesar did not know that he would one day conquer and make it a part of the great Roman empire.

In the form of stories, Gnipho narrated the history of Rome to the young Caesar. When he was 12 years old, a civil war broke out. His uncle Marius was forced to escape to Africa.

On her insistence, Caesar agreed to remain at home, but Brutus convinced Caesar to accompany him to the Senate. Caesar finally agreed. While going to the Senate, his statue fell to the floor and broke, which made Caesar uneasy. On entering the premises of the Senate he was greeted by the conspirators. Caesar walked to the front of the chamber and sat in his golden chair. Pretending friendliness the Senators gathered around him. Caesar was then given a parchment, which he began to read. At that moment his toga was suddenly grabbed and torn from his shoulders. He was stabbed in the throat by a dagger. Caesar, with all his strength, caught the arm of that man. He was stabbed again by another man. A ring of daggers surrounded him. He covered his face with the folds of his toga. But the daggers struck him from every side. Then, they drew back. After taking a few faltering steps, Caesar fell dead at the feet of Pompey's statue. Brutus lifted his blood stained dagger and shouted, "Liberty is now restored!" The last words of Caesar were, "Et tu Brutus", "Oh Brutus ! Thou too !" It was on March 15, 44 BC.
