That is my opinion Dave.
That Caesar was opposed by the Patricians as you point out, is the point of my understanding, and support for Caesar....only as far as viewing this from the perspectives of those times goes...
I would probably not vote for someone these days with his credentials....
But Caesar did far more than sack cities in Spain, he introduced laws and reforms that promoted less antagonism between creditors and debtors, to name just one thing....
But getting back to the point of this thread, and my reason for mentioning his time in Spain, he raised several cohorts which he used to subdue
the peninsula, and perhaps this was part of the core of his Tenth legion?

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
