Frequently asked
When did Julius Caesar cross the Rubicon River?
Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River on January 10, 49 BC. Interestingly, the Rubicon was actually a small, shallow river in northern Italy, not the mighty waterway many people imagine when picturing this historic moment.
Why was crossing the Rubicon River such a big deal?
Roman law forbade any general from bringing armies into Italy proper. The Rubicon marked the boundary, so crossing it with his legion meant Caesar was declaring war against the Roman Senate and breaking sacred law.
