An Unstoppable Force

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King, Jr


This quote is reflective in the most literal sense of how Julius Caesar acted in a battle. He would constantly be moving to the weakest, most endangered section of his line of troops. In doing so he bolstered their confidence, both in themselves and in him. He was highly respected for being so brave in battle, fighting alongside his troops as one of the men. He knew that it was his role to support his troops when they were at their weakest as well as when they were at their best.
Caesar's entire outlook on battle was also quite controversial and created many challenges for himself and his troops. He would always retaliate or engage immediately, even when his men were not ready for battle. By doing this,. he gave the impression of being unstoppable, always ready, and braver than any other general.
