Okay so… we screwed up. We thought Episode #46 was going to be our last episode but it looks like it might take another couple to finish this part of the story properly.
We tried to start the Augustus story but he doesn’t turn up for another week or so in the timeline. And it just didn’t feel right. So instead, you’re getting two BONUS episodes, dealing with the immediate aftermath of the assassination.
We hope you enjoy them! This is Part I. Part II will be out next week. And THEN we will start THE LIFE OF AUGUSTUS. We promise.
On this episode – Brutus, Cassius, Decimus, and the rest of the assassins take refuge on the Capitoline Hill while they wait to see what Caesar’s supporters, lead by Mark Antony and Lepidus, do. Cicero goes up to congratulate them. Dolabella betrays Caesar and joins them. Even Caesar’s former brother-in-law, Cinna, joins the assassins and denounces Caesar. We cover the events of March 15 – 17, 44 BCE.
A call-out from the cold North ( Denmark ).Fantastic show but you desperately need to be on Youtube. So many other podcasters do so succesfully and as I understand it there might be some dole in it too.
Personally I hope you stop the show at emperor Constantine XI – about 2 or 3 years into Camerons retirement.
