Did Julius Caesar have epilepsy?

He is reported by Suetonius as having suffered from morbus comitialis, an illness that is believed to be epilepsy. The matter is subject to significant debate among modern historians. Given the lack of medical understanding at the time, it is entirely possible that he suffered from a different illness which has similar symptoms to epilepsy, and was therefore given the same description. In short then he at the very least suffered the symptoms of epilepsy, though exactly why is less certain.
