Acquiring this absolute power however, was no easy feat, and Caesar had well equipped himself through previous expeditions of Europe and the ancient world with all the resources necessary to gain power in Ancient Rome. One such "expedition" was Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. On this expedition, Caesar went to great lengths to write a thorough book about his conquest, and to justify his expenditures to the Roman public and Senate.

Janus’s transition into an immortal deity is seldom discussed, however it is widely held that Janus was originally the god of heaven and of the sun, as well as the god of springs and rivers, before he took on his ultimate and most commonly held title.
