Most of Caesar's lovers were aristocratic women from the Senate, which was not without reason. Given the nature of Roman political life, senators had to take on a series of positions, many of which required them to stay abroad for years, leaving their married women alone, creating opportunities for Caesar to approach them.
For these aristocratic women, Caesar was immensely charming, and few could resist his allure. His unique style of dress set the tone for Roman fashion, making many young people eager to imitate him; he paid great attention to his appearance and demeanor, always standing out in his actions, making him distinctive among Roman youth.
To be favored by Caesar was both astonishing and thrilling for these women, and his notorious reputation for being a philanderer perhaps added to their excitement.
It was during Crassus's campaign against Spartacus' rebellion army that Caesar came into contact with the lonely Tertulla.
