Caesar would one day defy the Senate and lead Rome into civil war, but everything we know about his nature argues against bloody revolts and conspiracy theories. Caesar had for years been carefully, step by step, building his credentials as a proven military leader and sensible populist politician. Even though his enemies would naturally look back at his career in later years and accuse him of revolutionary plans from the cradle, Caesar was not the kind of man who would unnecessarily risk his career by supporting a violent coup d’état.

Organisms whose cells have a nucleus are called eucaryotes (from the Greek words eu, meaning “well” or “truly,” and karyon, a “kernel” or “nucleus”). Organisms whose cells do not have a nucleus are called procaryotes (from pro, meaning “before”). The terms “bacterium” and “procaryote” are often used interchangeably, although we shall see that the category of procaryotes also includes another class of cells, the archaea (singular archaeon), which are so remotely related to bacteria that they are given a separate name.
