Explanation:

“The question of Caesar’s immunity was the inciting incident to the civil war that led to him usurping power over the Roman Republic.

Caesar had a lot of enemies in the Senate who would be prosecuting him as soon as his term as governor ended and he was no longer immune.

However, if Caesar ran and won a consulship, he could maintain his immunity. But to do so, he would have to physically go into Rome, which means letting go of his legions, since marching armies into Rome was treason.

Caesar wanted to run in absentia. His enemies refused. They were at an impasse. Caesar could either give in and let himself be prosecuted. Or he could defy the Senate and become a traitor.

He didn’t have to cross the Rubicon and invade Italy, but refusing to give up his legions would be treason and make him an enemy of Rome either way. So if he was gonna be an enemy, he might as well march on the city itself and take power by force of arms.”
