Caesar's bad traits were really a matter of perception. He achieved much success as a military leader who consolidated power and defeated enemies which led to amassing large amounts of foreign territory. He was very unpopular with the aristocrats of his time due to a number of his policies. He favor the poor and that angered the wealthy in his land. He also was suspected of aiming to become King of Rome due to his massive amount of power, this was not supported by the political system or the people of his time. He also had no fear of violence, even on massive scales. He committed many massacres on people, some in other lands, some who he promised retribution to due to being held captive as a child.
