Episode Details
Back to EpisodesThe Assassination of Julius Caesar
Description
He was trapped—pinned against the marble floor. Blood pooled beneath him. Shadows loomed. The faces were twisted, unrecognisable. The knives rose and fell, again and again. And then, through the blur of pain, he saw Brutus.
The most infamous assassination in history wasn’t just murder—it was theatre. Cold. Calculated. Ritualistic. The end of Julius Caesar came not on the battlefield, but in the heart of Rome, at the hands of men he once called allies.
But how did it come to this?
From the brutal conquest of Gaul and the invasion of Britain, to the defeat of Pompey, the fall of the Republic, and the passion of Cleopatra—Caesar carved his name into history with blood and brilliance. He was crowned Imperator, worshiped by the people, feared by the Senate.
And yet, at the height of his power, with the world in his grasp—he never saw the knives coming.
Join Keith as he delves into the rise and terrifying fall of Julius Caesar—warrior, statesman, lover, tyrant—and explores whether his death was justice… or simply envy in a toga.
