Gaius Julius Caesar (Latin: C·IVLIVS·C·F·C·N·CAESAR¹) (July 12 or July 13, 100 BC – March 15, 44 BC) was a Roman military and political leader whose conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, launching the first Roman invasion of Britannia (Britain), and introducing Roman influence into Gaul, which later became France when occupied by the Franks of the North. It was an accomplishment with consequences still visible to this day. Caesar, who represented the populares faction in the Roman Senate, fought a civil war against the Optimates, or conservative faction in the Roman Senate. When winning left him undisputed master of the Roman world, he began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. Among other titles, the Roman Senate named Caesar dictator for life, a move which caused much resentment among a few in the Roman senate who thought that Caesar sought to make himself King of Rome which may have led to his assassination in Rome by a few members of the Roman Senate. The first five Roman Emperors were indirectly related to Julius Caesar.

The Tughra (طغراء) of Mahmud II. A tughra (tuÄŸra in Turkish) is a Turkish paisley-like calligraphic seal or signature used at the beginning of sultans' decrees.

Parallel to the European signet, tughras often appeared on coins and stamps of the Ottoman Empire.
