Ceasar.

Caesar in a walk.

The man founded an empire upon the framework is based nearly every major Western country today.

Hard to beat that.

Imagine what he could have done had he not been assassinated...

Caesar defeated Pompey the Great, one of Rome's greatest generals ever, in the Roman Civil War in 48 BC.

Caesar defeated Alexander the Great in the GHFOAT tournament last week.
