Excerpted from Wiki: According to Suetonius (Roman historian), Caesar uttered the famous phrase alea iacta est ("the die is cast").[2] The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has survived to refer to any individual or group committing itself irrevocably to a risky or revolutionary course of action, similar to the modern phrase "passing the point of no return." Caesar's decision for swift action forced Pompey, the consuls and a large part of the Roman Senate to flee Rome in fear. Caesar's subsequent victory in Caesar's civil war ensured that punishment for the infraction would never be rendered. This took place during the time of the Roman Republic.
Xrossing The Rubicon
The Rubicon is also a 4wd trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Renowned as challenging, Jeep (now owned by Stellantis N.V. and headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands) as a marketing ploy, named a version of its Wrangler Rubicon.
