I have highlighted changes made and also where you need to rephrase. But the first thing you need to do is capitalise Rome, Roman!
What is this for? Because it strikes me that unless it is a question on Caesar's strategy in beating Vercingetorex, there is far too much on that and not enough on the question of "Who you would like to meet and why?"
The one person I would have liked to have met was a political and military genius who transformed the corrupt Roman republic and led the republic into a golden age of prosperity.
This person was Gaius Julius Caesar who was dictator of the Roman republic in the year 47 BC. He was loved by the people, but he was hated by the roman senate because they were losing the support of the people they ruled; however, the roman senate was corrupt and Rome was on the brink of destruction because of their corruption and the lack of a strong government.
Before Caesar became a dictator, he invaded the nation of Gaul (modern day Germany), and his military tactics were one of the best executed I have ever read about in any military commander. During his conquest of Gaul, he prepared to attack a fortress in Alesia; the fortress was under the command of Vercingetorix (leader of the Gallic tribes), and Caesar’s armies were surrounded and outnumbered around the fort, so chances of success in capturing the fortress seemed minuscule, yet Caesar managed to create a hole in the ground around his army two stories deep and 18km wide. This made it much harder for Caesar’s forces to be flanked from behind. This was ingenious of Caesar, yet he was still outnumbered, so he needed an even more ingenious strategy to win the battle. After days of intense battle between the enemies, he managed to send a few hundred of his cavalry behind thousands of the enemy army and this engulfed Vercingetorix’s army from both sides, the front and back. He surrendered the day after. This is just one of numerous phenomenal military victories by Caesar. Others included the Battle of Pharsalus and his conquest of Egypt where he overthrew Ptolemy and put Cleopatra on the throne.
Caesar is very important to me; his accomplishments are a prime example of how ambition and perseverance are all you need to achieve all your desires. Just as Caesar was attacked from all fronts in the Battle of Alesia, my life is full of struggles and there are times where the stress becomes unbearable, yet my perseverance gets me through the difficulties and leads me to success in all my goals I try to accomplish. Caesar’s ambitions created the foundation for the Roman Empire which dominated the globe for hundreds of years under numerous emperors.
At the dinner table, I would like to ask Caesar what influenced him to have such a profound skill in military warfare and why he was so determined to pursue a political and military career to restoring Rome to its former glory. Yet not only would I ask him that, I would also inquire how I should I deal with my adversities I come across in my life because if there is a person who understands struggle and lamentation, it is Gaius Julius Caesar.
