Welcome to our first episode!

Think of this as a general introduction to Julius Caesar. We discuss a lot of myths and misconceptions that people might have about the man.

  • Why is Caesar considered the greatest Roman?
  • Why is he still fascinating after all this time?
  • Was he gay, bi or just willing to do whatever it took for a goal?
  • Why was he a political maverick when he was born into the nobility?
  • Did he want to rule the world or Roman world?
  • Was the fall of the Republic his fault?
  • Why did Emperors after him take the name Caesar?
  • “Et tu, Brute?” – his real last words?
  • The origin of  “crossing the Rubicon”.
  • Was he an Emperor?
  • How much evidence do we have about his life?
