GHFOAT: Genghis Khan vs. Julius Caesar

[knapplc]

It was a tough call, but I went with Julius Caesar.

That's because you're a wise and discerning man. Good job!

rallying cry for Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn!!!

And Caesar widens his lead...

Ceaser and it looks like he's walking away with this one too...

70/30 ...I thought it would be closer than this.

I'm not really surprised. Caesar's body of work outshines Khan's.

I think Homeless said it best when Caesar wept at Alexander's statue because he would never be as great as him.

I think homey said it best when he said, I like my conquerers like I like my salad, Ceaser or something like that.

You gotta love Caesar! The man cuckolded his political rivals who accused him of homosexuality! That is awesome!!

You know how the saying went in Rome.

"Caesar was every ladies man, and every man's lady."

I'll take the Khan as the greatest military figure any day. Caesar did have his conquests, but he had an empire behind him to start with. The Khan carved out his entirely, and it was a much more impressive conquest.

Caesar in what looks like a rout.

Thats your opinion ... not neccesarily a fact.

If you consider where each man started and where they were at the end of their life, Khan was greater.
Caesar - born to an aristocratic family with an avenue in place for his career in politics.
Khan - born in a felt tent to illiterate, religiously shamanistic nomads.
At his death, in terms of square miles conquered, he was the greatest conquerer of all time.
Khan did more with less than Caesar, leading me to consider him greater.
