Julius Caesar #28 – The Die Is Cast… Bitches

Life Of Caesar ·

2014/12/30

We go into excruciating detail about the political machinations between Caesar and his enemies in Rome that lead up to the fateful day (10 or 11 January 49 BCE) when Caesar declares “The Die Is Cast” and crosses the Rubicon river that marks the boundary between Gaul and Italy, taking the 13th legion with him.

Julius Caesar #27 – Meanwhile Back In Rome…

Life Of Caesar ·

2014/12/18

We jump back to 54 BCE and talk about what’s been happening in Rome while Caesar has been stomping on Gaul. Massive political corruption. Pompey is made sole Consul. Laws are deliberately passed that make it impossible for Caesar to return to Rome without facing near-certain exile and ruin. After this episode, it’s hard to […] The post Julius Caesar #27 – Meanwhile Back In Rome… appeared first on Life Of The Caesars.

Julius Caesar #26 – Gaul Is Conquered

Life Of Caesar ·

2014/12/13

You’d think that after they got their ass smacked HARD (and not in the good way) at Alesia, the rest of Gaul would have just crumbled – but not so. A few tribes still thought they could bring Julius Caesar down and so he spent his winter of 52/51 BCE taking on the Bellovaci, the […] The post Julius Caesar #26 – Gaul Is Conquered appeared first on Life Of The Caesars.

Well…. This is where it all comes together. Arguably the greatest military victory in history. Julius Caesar lays siege to the walled city of Alesia, the stronghold of Vercingetorix, who sends for reinforcements. When they arrive, Caesar is massively outnumbered… He claims 5 to 1. Historian say it was probably more like 3 to 1. […] The post Julius Caesar #25 – The Siege of Alesia appeared first on Life Of The Caesars.
