From Consul to Corpse: Julius Caesar and the Ides of March
from Doing Learning · host Doing Learning
DetailsMcKyler walks Daniel through the wild rise and brutal fall of Julius Caesar, from debt-ridden rich kid to “dictator for life.” Along the way they unpack why regular Romans adored Caesar for his epic Gallic victories, debt relief, and free grain, while senators saw him as a crown‑hungry tyrant dismantling the Republic. The duo dives into Decimus vs. Marcus Brutus, the real story of “Et tu, Brute?”, the first forensic autopsy in history, and how the Ides of March accidentally launched the Roman Empire. Perfect for fans of ancient Rome, political intrigue, and anyone who’s ever wondered how one stabbing changed the world.LinksAssassination of Julius Caesar – WikipediaJulius Caesar – Britannica Biography10 Facts About Julius Caesar’s Rise to Power – History HitThe Ides of March: The Assassination of Julius Caesar Explained – History HitThe Ides of March: The Assassination of Julius Caesar Explored – History ToolsConstitutional Reforms of Julius Caesar – WikipediaHow Decimus Brutus Led Julius Caesar to His Doom – History HitCaesar: A Colossus and the Fall of the Roman RepublicThe Assassination of Julius Caesar: The Ides of March ExplainedWhy Did Julius Caesar Cross the Rubicon?Julius Caesar’s Rise, Rule, and AssassinationPatronsThank you to all our patrons for your support!Liz D.Seth T.Irvin H.DaDogMiles T.Kirk K.DiscordJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/FYg6T5q7xK---
