January 10, 49BC -Julius Caesar leads his army across the Rubicon, which separates his jurisdiction from that of the Senate, and thus initiates a civil war. Caesar seemed to contemplate the situation understandably for some time before making his final fateful decision. He is then reported to have muttered the now famous phrase, from the work of the poet Menander, Alea iacta est, usually translated as "The die is cast." The Rubicon was crossed and Caesar officially invaded the legal border from his province into Italy, thus starting the civil war.
