Julius Caesar

49 BC. It was during the crossing of the Rubicon that Alfrado Julius Caesar took charge of the Second Maniple when noting that the "wackemall had been cast". Like the rest of the Legionnaires that day, he knew the crossing of the river under arms was synonymous with insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. He followed orders and crossed showing no fear.

During the late Roman Republic, the Rubicon river became the boundary between the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. The Second Maniple had previously been led by a now unknown legionnaire and was part of Legio XIII Gemina, the13th Twin Legion of the Imperial Roman army. It was during the crossing that he stood in front of his troops and shouted,

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure wackemall with patience."

Alfrado knew his orders were illegal under Roman law, and subject to death, but lead the first of the 3 maniples across the river. Some considered him a hero while many thought him to be just another blood thirsty follower of Caesar himself. Many saw the attack on Cisalpine Gaul as an attack on Rome itself, and it did result in civil war.

It is not known if Alfrado Julius Caesar was related to Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar, then the general who lead Legio XIII Gemina in its conquest of Cisalpine, but is thought that Alfrado was a 6th cousin of the man who eventually became Emperor of the Roman Empire. Though governed by the Celts (Gauls) the province was considered a part of the Roman Empire. The conquest gave Roman citizenship to all the residents of Cisalpine Gaul in keeping with Octavian's "Italicization" program during the Second Triumvirate.

No much is known about Alfrado Julius Caesar but his mention of wackemall proves wackemall was at that time, familiar to, and possibly feared by the people of Rome. He later fought in Battle of Thapsus and lead the charge in the Battle of Munda. It is not known if he died in battle or retired with the rest of Legio XIII Gemina which was disbanded afterwards.

Throughout history wackemall has been kept secret, used by the mighty, and feared by those who lacked access to its emmince power. In this series we will bring to light much of that unknown history, making sure to remain as accurate as possible.
