Show Summary:
The March of History is a biographical history podcast on Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic. Not only does it cover Julius Caesar's life in depth, it also explores the intricate world of ancient Rome and all of the key players of the late Roman Republic including Cicero, Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Mark Antony, Brutus, a young Augustus (Octavian), Marius, Sulla and (though not Roman) Cleopatra.
With their position growing worse by the day, Afranius and Petreius decide to make a run for it and attempt to march to Celtiberia where they expect to find support. For Julius Caesar, everything depends on stopping them from reaching a set of mountains/hills at which point they will be out of his reach and the war will become protracted. And so the race begins, with both armies rushing to reach the mountain pass first. Along the way, Caesar's soldiers become fed up with his famous clemency and aren't shy in letting him know.

When monsoon rains hit Northeastern Spain, the Sicoris River floods, obliterating both of Julius Caesar's bridges. Now stranded in a narrow strip of land between two flooded rivers, Caesar soon runs out of food and his troops begin to starve. Finding himself in an increasingly desperate situation, Caesar must find a way to regain access to the Eastern bank of the river or else the war will be lost. Meanwhile, Decimus Brutus fights a naval battle at Massilia against Ahenobarbus and the Massiliotes. Stay tuned at the end for a special segment on Cicero and the cosmos.

Julius Caesar arrives in Spain, the picture of confidence. Even having to borrow money from his officers to pay his soldiers doesn't seem to dampen his self-belief, or the belief of his followers. Taking command of the Spanish campaign, he quickly begins trying to outmaneuver Afranius and Petreius. Caesar's luck abandons him though, when his veteran army panics and the Ninth Legion finds itself trapped in what amounts to a killing zone.Website

Julius Caesar’s rapid march toward Spain is stalled by the defiant city of Massilia (modern Marseille). Ahenobarbus unexpectedly resurfaces and re-enters the Roman Civil War. We set the stage for Julius Caesar’s campaign in Spain. Caesar’s legate Fabius, sent ahead to start the war while Caesar organizes the siege of Massilia, soon finds himself in peril - without Caesar around to save him.

Sitting in his country villa, Cicero struggles to choose a side; Julius Caesar or Pompey and the Optimates. From his vantage, neither option looks appealing. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar makes his much anticipated (and dreaded) return to Rome after a 10 year absence from his mother city. There, Caesar soon finds himself butting heads with a troublesome Tribune of the Plebs over the fate of the Roman treasury. In a flash of temper, Caesar runs roughshod over the ancient rights of the Tribunes and, possibly, even threatens to kill the Tribune. Rome does not take this hypocrisy kindly.

Julius Caesar makes the greatest gamble of his life and crosses the Rubicon to march on his political enemies. The civil war has begun. The unprepared Pompey and the Optimates are thunderstruck by Caesar's swift advance. Most Romans fear Caesar will behave like Sulla or Marius. Caesar has other plans. He soon unveils his clemency to the world in dramatic fashion.

With Caesar’s conquest of Gaul complete, focus now turns to his much anticipated return to Rome. Caesar envisions the triumphant return of a conquering hero. The Optimates envision a criminal being dragged before a court controlled and guarded by the armed soldiers of Pompey. With both sides claiming to want peace yet refusing to back down, an ancient arms race begins.

This is Julius Caesar’s greatest battle and one of the most famous battles in history. Caesar has now surrounded Alesia with two rings of ramparts, towers, traps and ditches. But with a massive Gallic relief army bearing down upon them, Caesar and his army find themselves surrounded. Fighting now on two fronts and heavily outnumbered, the Romans will be pushed to their breaking point.

The Treveri, the Nervii, the Menapii, the Aduatuci, the Senones, and the Carnutes, all these tribes and more are mobilizing for war. Even Germania gets in on the fray and soon Caesar is building a second bridge over the Rhine to teach the Germans yet another lesson.

Caesar suffers a crushing series of blows upon his return from Britain as he receives word that multiple members of his direct family have died. Back in Rome the funeral is anything but normal. Crassus is becoming insufferable at the excitement of his Syrian command and Cato may or may not have engaged in wife-trafficking.
Note: While the translation of Plutarch I have says the Roman crowd seized Julia’s “corpse”, it’s possible she had already been cremated by that point in which case they would have been seizing her funeral urn.

Caesar and his legions march to the River Thames where they are confronted by an army of Britons. The deeper they march into Britain the more they seem to suffer casualties in ambushes and hit and run raids. With Autumn quickly approaching, Caesar needs to find a way to bring this campaign to an end before the weather turns and he is stranded in Britain for the winter.
Always looking to generate interest in Rome, Caesar also provides us with an ethnography of the ancient Britons.

One expedition to Britain isn’t enough for Caesar and soon after returning he’s making plans for a second. This time though, he intends to do it bigger and better than before. More infantry, more cavalry, more ships! Only time will tell if Caesar has learned from the mistakes of his first voyage.

Summary: Caesar takes the fight to Germania. To do so he will need to demonstrate Rome's incredible engineering abilities. Crossing one frontier isn’t enough for Caesar though and he soon has designs on a second even more outlandish exploit that same year.
Correction #1: I got a little carried away talking about horses in this episode. I say that horses had been the primary method of quick transportation for thousands and tens of thousands of years. In reality the earliest known domestication of horses was roughly 6,000 years ago in the steppelands north of the Black Sea from Ukraine to Kazakhstan according to Brittanica. Meaning that yes, domesticated horses had been around for thousands of years, but not tens of thousands of years. Like I said, I got carried away. It’s another question altogether as to when domesticated horses reached the Rhine. I could not easily find the answer to that question and seeing as this podcast is on Julius Caesar and not horses I hope you’ll forgive me for leaving it unanswered.
Correction #2: In this episode I say that most of the Gallic traders sailed to western Britain. It would be more accurate to say most Gallic traders sailed to a part of Britain West of where Caesar wanted to land. According to historian Adrian Goldsworthy one of the Gallic traders’ most important ports was at Hengistbury Head.

Caesar has some spare time before the campaign season is over so he decides to try to mop up some pesky smaller tribes still holding out against the might of Rome. These concerns are soon forgotten when a large Germanic host crosses the Rhine and tries to make their new home in Gaul. Caesar tries to deal with them with a combination of diplomacy and threatening action but it ends in a debacle that will be hotly debated in the Roman Senate. Caesar’s greatest Roman foe, Cato, will even suggest that Caesar should be handed over to the Germanic tribes for punishment.
Correction: I mention in this episode that there are accounts of World War 2 soldiers being bogged down in horrible mud not far from where Caesar was fighting the Menapii and Morini. This was a slip of the tongue and I meant World War 1 soldiers.

Crassus and Pompey take the consulship by violent storm, backed by Caesar. Their triumvirate wishlist from Lucca will take even more violence to get approved but Crassus and Pompey seem happy to use naked force where bribery and covert coercion fail. We also take a quick look at Caesar’s key legates in Gaul and the civilians that act as his proxies in Rome while he is in Gaul waging war.

Caesar may have defeated the fiercest of the Belgic tribes but there are still tribes that continue to resist. Using siege warfare the Belgae have not dreamed of, Caesar sets out to teach them that resistance to Rome is futile. Upon completion of the campaign Caesar declares the whole of Gaul as being pacified.
Back at home, Rome goes absolutely wild. In this episode we also delve into why the Gauls posed such an existential threat in the minds of ordinary Romans and what it meant to them to see Caesar defeating the Gauls/Belgae in battle.

A massive migration of "barbarians" is headed directly for one of Caesar’s provinces. This is Caesar’s first test as Proconsul. The tribes say they want to pass through Transalpine Gaul but promise not to misbehave. Caesar is having none of it. What’s more, he has spotted an opportunity for glory.
Note: Further Gaul and Transalpine Gaul are two names for the same province. In this episode I use the terms interchangeably.
Correction: I discuss the practice of forcing your enemies to “pass under the yoke” in this episode. I stated the yoke would be a triangle made of spears that defeated soldiers would be forced to march under. This was a mistake as the yoke would really be two spears stuck into the ground with a third spear running perpendicular and connecting them at the top. This would form a rectangle for the soldiers to walk under, not a triangle.

Julius Caesar’s Praetorship ends with a scandalous bang. Cross-dressing combines with sacrilege to create a scandal the likes of which Rome has never seen. We introduce you to a new individual whose appetite for personal vendettas is unparalleled in history. While Caesar attempts to extricate himself from the controversy without destroying his political career, his creditors grow impatient.
Enter the stage, Publius Claudius Pulcher.
Correction: While the Claudii go back to some of the earliest days of the Roman Republic (specifically, 6 years after the founding of the Republic), they were in fact originally a Sabine family. The Sabines were at war with the Romans and the Claudii defected and joined Rome. Therefore I believe it would be inaccurate to call them a “Founding Family of Rome” as I say in this episode. Additionally, The Julii (Julius Caesar’s family) are believed to date back to the time of the Roman Kings and therefore would have been an older family in Rome than the Claudii.

Caesar continues to climb the political ladder even as personal tragedy strikes at home. Nothing is ever apolitical in Rome though, not even funerals. Personal tragedy soon turns to political fuel.

Caesar makes a name for himself in Rome as a womanizer. A view into the women of the Roman Republic and the women in Caesar’s life. (Enter Marcus Porcius Cato and Servillia).
Note: I say in this episode that Lucullus cries over a dead fish. This is a mistake. While Lucullus and Hortensius were both labeled “Piscinarii” or “fish fanciers”, it was a different senator (and in fact, Censor) who cried when his fish died.

Caesar returns to Rome with a splash. Determined to make his name known he enters the law courts to prove his prowess as an orator. (Enter Marcus Tullius Cicero).
Corrections: I say in this episode that Caesar attributes much of his good luck to the goddess Fortuna. This is a mistake. Although Caesar often discusses Fortuna in his Commentaries, he attributed much of his good fortune to the goddess Venus, not Fortuna.

Part 2: Titans clash as two ruthless generals tear the Roman Republic apart in a personal rivalry. A young Julius Caesar faces his first test in life and proves he will not be bullied. Corrections: Sulla’s protector was not the goddess Fortuna as I stated in this episode, it was the goddess Venus. Also, the correct name of Caesar’s commentaries in Gaul is “Commentaries on the Gallic War”.
