After fighting for Rome in foreign lands, Julius Caesar was told to disband his army and return to Rome by the Roman government. Caesar knew that by losing his military command, he would lose his immunity to prosecution. Instead of disbanding his army, he brought it into Italy by crossing the Rubicon River, breaking the law against leading Roman armies on Italian soil. He then proceeded to win battles against his former political allies and take over as the sole leader of Rome.

For those that honestly do not know it is a boundary or line. A shallow river in northeastern Italy, just south of Ravenna.It was known as Fiumicino prior to 1933, when it was identified with the ancient river Rubicon, famously crossed by Julius Caesar in 49 BC.
