The Story Of Leaders With Disabilities Started In The Ancient World

The story of leaders with disabilities started in the Bible and in ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and Rome. In the ancient world the wealthy sometimes elevated family members with disabilities to positions of power. For example, King David gave to a family member with a disability power.  Also, in antiquity military service was a method by which soldiers with acquired disabilities achieved power. Before the birth of the Roman Empire other societies produced leaders with a disability. 

Then in 80 BC a young man with a neurological disability with a great purpose would transform the world and who impacts humanity today - the man was Julius Caesar. He used conquests and politics to achieve wealth and power. Politics is the most effective strategy to achieve political power for past and current people with disabilities.
