108 - Caesar 2: Law & Nature
Episode Length:
130:03
Part 2 of 3 of the Life of Julius Caesar. In this episode:
- Caesar forms the First Triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus, uniting Rome's most powerful men
- His revolutionary consulship of 59 BCE bypasses Senate opposition through popular assemblies
- The brilliant staging of the Gallic conquest, using allies and tribal conflicts as pretexts for expansion
- His management of Rome through letters while commanding armies across Gaul
- The death of Julia and Crassus fractures the political alliance holding Rome together
- Vercingetorix's rebellion culminates in the decisive siege of Alesia, securing Gaul for Rome
Caesar transforms both Rome and Gaul forever through calculated strategy, personal magnetism, and relentless ambition—all while his enemies in Rome, led by Cato, plot his downfall and convince Pompey to turn against him, setting the stage for civil war.
