Question

Define: cross the Rubicon?

Answer 1

To do something and know there is no turning back. Caesar said it before he marched on Rome and became dictator for life. He knew that if he losed, he was dead. So it is a important decision that you must either take or not take.

Answer 2

A limit that when passed or exceeded permits of no return and typically results in irrevocable commitment.

Rubicon is a Small stream that separated Cisalpine Gaul from Italy in the era of the Roman republic. The movement of Julius Caesar's forces over the Rubicon into Italy in 49 BC violated the law that forbade a general to lead an army out of the province to which he was assigned. Caesar's act thus amounted to a declaration of war against the Roman Senate and resulted in the three-year civil war that left Caesar ruler of the Roman world. “Crossing the Rubicon” became a popular phrase describing a step that irrevocably commits a person to a given course of action.
