No he wasnt, went straight to senior concel
In 63 BC, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius, who had been appointed to the post of Pontifex Maximus by Sulla, died. In a bold move, Caesar put his name up for election to the post. He ran against two of the most powerful members of the boni, the consulares Quintus Lutatius Catulus and Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus. There were accusations of bribery by all sides in the contest but Caesar emerged as the victor. The election to the post of Pontifex Maximus was very important to Caesar’s career. The post held vast political and religious authority and firmly placed Caesar in the public eye for the remainder of his career.
Caesar was elected to the post of praetor in 62 BC. After his praetorship, Caesar was allotted Hispania Ulterior (Outer Iberia) as his province. Caesar’s governorship was a military and civil success and he was able to expand Roman rule. As a result, he was hailed as imperator by his soldiers, and gained support in the Senate to grant him a triumph. However, upon his return to Rome, Marcus Porcius Cato blocked Caesar’s request to stand for the consulship of 60 (or 59) in absentia. Faced with the choice between a triumph and consulship, Caesar chose the consulship.
First Consulship and First Triumvirate
In 60 BC (or 59 BC), the Centuriate Assembly elected Caesar senior Consul of the Roman Republic

Hey Mr Needle!! I have the answer to the bonus of today. Caesar was a military genious because of his conquest of Gaul and the 1st Roman invasion of Britannia in 55 BCE. But his early career began in the Asian and Cicilian Army. That is why the Romans had no problem with him being their dictator.

BONUS!!!!
Caesar was respected and elecyed for his military genious. He played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul expanded Rome to the Atlantic Ocean and he was responsible for the 1st Roman invasion of Britannia in 55 BCE. How cool!
