When Julius Ceasar ran for Consul in 60 BCE (for the year 59 BCE), he intended for his co-consul to be his "running mate", Lucius Lucceius; instead, he got paired with Marcus Calpurnius Biblius, an old colleague who hated his guts. What interests me here is that, not only was Lucceius something of a boring moderate who could work with Ceasar, he was familiar with Rome's most famous moderate conservative, Cicero, and (FWIH) might have acted as an olive branch to the famous orator.

So my question is what if he had won? How would Julius Ceasar's year as Consul be affected? And how would these changes ripple through Roman history?
