Podcasts about Gaius Julius Caesar

In dieser True Crime-History-Sprachwissenschafts-Crossover-Folge besprechen wir einen Mord. Den Mord an einem Diktator, der mit Kalkül und Charisma die Alleinherrschaft an sich gerissen hat: Gaius Julius Caesar. Er war Feldherr, Schrifsteller, Frauenheld und der Totengräber der römischen Republik. Um seine letzten Worte ranken sich nicht erst seit Shakespeares "Auch du, Brutus?" Mythen. Nach einem kurzen Profiling unseres Opfers und der Täter schildern wir den Tathergang. Danach geht es ums Wort: Was sagte Caesar als letztes? Zu wem sprach er? Und vor allem: in welcher Sprache? Um unsere Fragen zu beantworten, bitten wir drei Zeugen zur Befragung, die uns auch bereitwillig Informationen geben, sich jedoch leider widersprechen. Es beginnt ein zähes Ringen darum, was Wahrheit und was Fiktion einzelner ist. Werden unsere zwei unerschrockenen Detektive Anton und Jakob den Fall klären können oder werden Caesars letzt Worte für immer hinter dem Schleier des Vergessens verborgen bleiben? Ein Fall von Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

As we roar towards the Ides of March, it just makes sense to spend a little time with Rome's OG, Gaius Julius Caesar. But since it's also Women's History Month, we're taking stock of his life and times through his marriages, both the ones we're sure happened, the one we aren't sure happened - and of course, Cleopatra makes an appearance.

This week Beau discusses the early life of Gaius Julius Caesar, from his first close scrapes with Sulla, his time winning the people over as an overly generous Aedile, his election as Pontifex Maximus, his role in the Catiline Conspiracy, and much more.

“It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.” — Gaius Julius Caesar

Gaius Julius Caesar (/ˈsiːzər/, SEE-zər; Latin: [ˈɡaːiʊs ˈjuːliʊs ˈkae̯sar]; 12 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. A member of the First Triumvirate, Caesar led the Roman armies in the Gallic Wars before defeating his political rival Pompey in a civil war, and subsequently became dictator from 49 BC until his assassination in 44 BC. He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire.

One of the most complex fellows that we will cover, Gaius Julius Caesar, the first of three episodes devoted to the man, the mystery, the legend.  What is a figure that is universally know doing in a podcast on Lost Roman Heroes?  What can possibly be lost about Caesar?  And what is heroic about Caesar, the man who drove a stake through the heart of the Republic?  Join us here for Part 1, Caesar's early years.

March 15th 44BC is perhaps the most notorious date in all of ancient history. On that fateful day, the Ides of March, 55-year-old Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of disaffected senators.In this episode, Tristan (with a little help from Dr Emma Southon and Dr Steele Brand) untangles fact from fiction, truth from myth, to take you back to that very afternoon in the heart of Rome's doomed republic.Discover the past with exclusive history documentaries and ad-free podcasts presented by world-renowned historians from History Hit.

"aut vincere aut mori". In this episode we are joined by one the leading experts in domain of ancient Roman history, Adrian Goldsworthy. We discussed topics like truth and fiction about founding of the Roman Republic, scale and consequences of Punic Wars, significance of Gaius Julius Caesar and similar. Enjoy!

Brennende Bibliotheken sind wie brennende Kirchen ein Fanal: Ihre drohende Zerstörung konfrontiert uns mit der Möglichkeit, dass es mit unserer Kultur, wie wir sie kennen und schätzen, zu Ende gehen könnte. Eines der berühmtesten Fanale dieser Art ist der Brand der Großen Bibliothek von Alexandria, der auf das Konto von Gaius Julius Caesar gehen soll: Das Ende der Bibliothek ist oft als ein Zeichen verstanden worden, das das Ende der Epoche des Hellenismus markiert und den Beginn der römischen Kaiserzeit, in der Rom zum Nabel der Welt wird. Der Essay von Dr. Uwe Jochum geht nicht nur der Frage nach, was wir von der Großen Bibliothek überhaupt wissen – wann sie gegründet wurde und von wem und warum und wie groß sie war. Sondern er beschäftigt sich auch mit der Frage, wie und warum die Bibliothek aus der Geschichte verschwand und nichts mehr von ihrer Existenz kündet als die Geschichten, die wir in antiken Quellen über sie erzählt finden. War es wirklich Caesar, der Machtpolitiker, der den Untergang der Bibliothek bewirkt hatte? Oder waren es undurchsichtige Zeitläufte und einfache Vernachlässigung, die zum Verschwinden der Bibliothek geführt haben?

We have reached the threshold of history, the 20th century. The possible role of hemp in the last great communist peasant uprising of the American Midwest. How FDR divided US farmers and how the Brits shutdown the first general  strike in the Jute plantations of Bengal. We will read the revival of the marines as a new becoming of an American east and west India trading company as it tries to rewrite the colonial world of natural fibres. With Smedley Butler  we return to Manila, follow him to China onward to the Banana Wars of Wall Street. China, the Hemp and Jute production of which covers almost perfectly the area which will later become occupied by imperial Japan. A point buried deep in old map archives about international fascism which can not be brought home in a tweet. We dive into the heroic resistance of the Soviet hemp industry. How  USSR scientists pursued a forgotten mediaeval quest for the original crop wild weed. A history of Tesla-coil-feminization, zero-THC Siberian strains and the cultivation of four fifths of the world's Cannabis.  We read from the first Big-Ag documents, forgery and erroneous science misshaped by a tobacco, cotton and timber mania  of the Whitney family and their many friends.  The plot thickens in the eight corridors of the universe when DuPont funds Anti-Bolsheviks insurrection.   I will keep listing and bringing together seemingly separate international Rubicon moments, all of that faithful year of the 1937 Marijuana tax act. If Pompey Magnus is the consul of the world's natural fibres then Nylon is Gaius Julius Caesar. Behold the Fourth Black Eagle.

Julius Caesar, born Gaius Julius Caesar, was a prominent Roman statesman, military general, and dictator who played a pivotal role in transforming the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Born on July 12, 100 BC, in Rome, Caesar rose to power during a time of political turmoil and instability, leaving an indelible mark on Roman history. Caesar came from a noble family, and his early years were marked by military service and political maneuvering. He distinguished himself as a skilled military leader during his campaigns in Gaul (modern-day France) and Britain, expanding Rome's territorial control and securing his reputation as a brilliant strategist. These military victories helped consolidate his power and popularity back in Rome. In 49 BC, Caesar crossed the Rubicon River with his army, an act considered treasonous at the time, and marched on Rome, sparking a civil war against his political rival, Pompey. Caesar emerged victorious, becoming the sole ruler of Rome and effectively ending the Roman Republic. He implemented a series of reforms aimed at strengthening the central government, improving the lives of ordinary citizens, and reducing the influence of the aristocracy. Caesar's reforms included the Julian Calendar, which became the basis for the modern Gregorian Calendar. He also enacted land reforms, provided land for impoverished citizens, and implemented policies to alleviate debt and unemployment. These measures endeared him to the masses but garnered opposition from some members of the Senate, who feared his growing power and the erosion of their own influence. Caesar's rule was characterized by his autocratic style of governance, and in 44 BC, he was declared dictator perpetuo, or dictator for life. This declaration further exacerbated tensions within the Roman Senate, and a group of senators led by Marcus Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus conspired to assassinate him. On the Ides of March (March 15), 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated in the Senate chamber. His death plunged Rome into another period of political instability, ultimately leading to a power struggle between his adopted heir Octavian (later known as Augustus), and Caesar's assassins. This struggle culminated in the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus, Caesar's grandnephew, and the first Roman Emperor. Caesar's legacy looms large in history. He is renowned for his military accomplishments, political acumen, and role in the Roman Republic's downfall. His name has become synonymous with power, ambition, and the potential dangers of autocracy. Caesar's life and death have inspired countless works of literature, including William Shakespeare's famous play, "Julius Caesar," which dramatizes the events surrounding his assassination. Despite the controversy surrounding his rule, Caesar left an indelible mark on Roman society. His military campaigns expanded Rome's borders, his political reforms shaped the structure of the Roman Empire, and his name remains an enduring symbol of authority and leadership. Julius Caesar's contributions and impact on ancient Rome have ensured his place among history's most influential figures. Show notes at https://thedigressionpodcast.com/105 Sound Off!

This week we conclude the Caesar Chronicles and wrap up our coverage of the life of Gaius Julius Caesar with the conspiracy that ended his life as he tiptoed dangerously close to destroying the fragile Roman Republic. We also give our thoughts on Caesar's entire saga and of course use his time period as a foil against our own. Never fear, we will continue our Ancient Rome coverage next time, as we discuss Caesar Augustus Octavians's rise to power.

Today we dig into the life of Julius Caesar and the final days of the Roman Republic. How was Caesar and what was Rome when he lived there? How did he transform himself from a random minor noble in a Republic full of fandom nobles, into one of the most powerful man in Rome and one of the most known historical figures of all time? Today's tale if full of alliances, betrayals, a very confusing Roman political system, and more as I try my best not to ruin the tale of the man who set Rome on the path to becoming an empire.  Hail Nimrod! Help Ean find Uncle Buck!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/703874246429031/permalink/2624879937661776/?mibextid=Nif5ozWet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camps go on sale for everyone Friday, January 20th, at Noon PT. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation: We're giving $14,533 to The Museum of Tolerance - the only museum of its kind in the world, and an additional $1,614  to the scholarship fund this month.

This week we pick up the story of Gaius Julius Caesar where we left off like… ten months ago. In Episode 50: Julius Caesar Goes on Holiday, we discussed the rise of one of Rome's greatest generals and politicians, and the shoddy pretext for his invasion of the vast Western European region known to posterity as Gaul. This time, almost one year later, I'm returning to the story to discuss the Caesar's Book, Comentarii de Bello Gallico, A brief description of Gaul, and the commencement of the actual Wars themselves. A third installment will follow this one IMMEDIATELY, not a year later, and will conclude Caesar's conquest and return to Rome.

Ya tenemos aquí un nuevo episodio de Buenos, feos y malos, esta vez con una de las figuras más importantes de la historia de la humanidad. ¿Quién no ha oído hablar en alguna ocasión del gran Julio César?, ¿quién no lo ha estudiado en sus días de colegio?, ¿quién no ha visto una película de romanos o ha leído un cómic de Astérix y Obélix? Cuando se habla del imperio romano es casi imposible no hacer referencia a este personaje, porque no solo influyó notablemente en la historia de nuestra civilización con un enorme legado político, militar y cultural, sino que también ha sido modelo de estudio a lo largo de los siglos por sus logros. Gaius Julius Caesar fue un general romano, estadista, cónsul y un notable autor de prosa latina que desempeñó un papel fundamental en los acontecimientos que llevaron a la desaparición de la República Romana y al surgimiento del Imperio. Como persona era un ambicioso nato que no tenía reparos en pasar por encima de sus enemigos o rivales políticos para conseguir sus objetivos. Miraba por encima del hombro a sus rivales y se consideraba mejor que nadie. Y consiguió el poder absoluto a costa de asesinar y matar a romanos de tan puro linaje como él, sin que le temblara el pulso. Como militar era despiadado y cruel. Tuvo gestos y reacciones de genocida. De hecho, hoy le juzgaríamos en el tribunal de La Haya por crímenes contra la Humanidad, Pero ese hombre, además de todo eso, también nos dejó un legado monumental, literario, jurídico e histórico, digno de los más grandes. Hoy trataremos la primera parte de su vida, su ascenso político, una carrera llena de dificultades y enemigos dispuestos a acabar con César. Una historia plagada de pactos, alianzas, traiciones y jugadas maestras que le permitirán llegar a lo más alto de su cursus honorum. Quédate con nosotros un episodio más y viaja de la mano de JR a la Roma del siglo I a.C. Juntos reviviremos la caída de la república y el nacimiento del imperio de la mano de un hombre que marcó por siempre el destino de Roma y preparó el camino que la llevaría a su máximo esplendor. Como dijo Julio Cesar antes de cruzar el Rubicón, "¡La suerte está echada!", comienza un nuevo episodio de Buenos, feos y malos. Como siempre, esperamos que os guste el episodio y no dudéis en dejar vuestros comentarios en nuestras redes.

From 'The Gallic Wars'When he had proceeded three days' journey, word was brought to him that Ariovistus was hastening with all his forces to seize on Vesontio, which is the largest town of the Sequani, and had advanced three days' journey from its territories. Caesar thought that he ought to take the greatest precautions lest this should happen, for there was in that town a most ample supply of every thing which was serviceable for war; and so fortified was it by the nature of the ground, as to afford a great facility for protracting the war, inasmuch as the river Doubs almost surrounds the whole town, as though it were traced round it with a pair of compasses. A mountain of great height shuts in the remaining space, which is not more than 600 feet, where the river leaves a gap, in such a manner that the roots of that mountain extend to the river's bank on either side. A wall thrown around it makes a citadel of this [mountain], and connects it with the town. Hither Caesar hastens by forced marches by night and day, and, after having seized the town, stations a garrison there.http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.1.1.htmlAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I vårt mest ohipstriga avsnitt hittills så pratar vi om de härförare som var precis så bra som fördomar och någon form av common wisdom säger; extremt kompetenta snubbar, helt enkelt.Mattis inleder med att prata uppsluppet om Gaius Julius Caesar och använder i sammanhanget begreppen ”manipulativ” och ”hänsynslös” i positiv bemärkelse. Per kan å sin sida kan inte hålla sig ifrån att vara åtminstone LITE hipster varför han tar upp Khalid ibn al-Walid – en man som inte är jättekänd utanför arabvärlden, men det är också helt oförtjänt eftersom han var en in i helvete skicklig general. Mattis går sedan tillbaka till ohipster-fasonerna och snackar Heinz Guderian med stark fokus på framryckningshastighet medan Per avslutar med att härja om Norman Schwarzkopf med stark betoning på lärande kulturer.Dessutom: plain clothes-legionärer som tar städer, en man som tar sig an två imperier, trådburet samband som ett sätt att hemlighålla saker för den egna ledningen, utskåpningar av Saddam Hussein, generaler som dräper kungar i envig, arga fruar (inte våra), Fortunate Son och mycket mer!

المهدييوليوس قيصر مسرحية تراجيدية للكاتب الإنجليزي وليم شكسبير. تتكون من 5 فصول. استمد شكسبير موضوعها وحوادثها من حياة يوليوس قيصر وماركوس أنطونيوس. يعتقد النقاد أنها المسرحية الأولى من المسرحيات الرومانية الثلاث التي كتبها شكسبير. أما المسرحيتين الآخرين هما «أنطونيو وكليوباترا» و«كوريولانوس».ملخص المسرحيةيحتفل الرومانيون بمهرجان الخصب ويبتهجون لانتصارات «قيصر» العسكرية على أعدائه. لكن هذا لا يمنع من وجود أعداء له دبت فيهم الغيرة والحسد. فمنذ البداية نرى «فلافيوس» و«مارولوس» يأتيان إلى جمع كان قد تجمع ليطري ويمجد ويهتف لـ «قيصر». فينتزعا النصب التذكارية كما يأمران الجمع بأن يذهب إلى المنازل ويذكروا ويبكوا مصير «بومباي» على أيدي «قيصر». ثم نرى نبلاء آخرون يبحثون باهتمام بالغ تزايد سلطان «قيصر» وطموحه الذي لا حدود له. ثم نرى عرافا يتبع «قيصر» في موكبه ويحذره من منتصف آذار. ويبدو بعد ذلك «كاسيوس» ألد اعداء «قيصر» يتحدث إلى «بروتوس» عن عدم كفاءة قيصر لأن يحكم الدولة كما يحاول أن يشكك «بروتوس» بـ «قصير» إذ يتساءل «كاسيوس» لماذا أصبح اسم «قيصر» مقرونا باسم روما بينما هناك في المدينة العديد من الشخصيات من أصحاب الكفاءة، يستحقون الشكر والثناء والشهرة لأنهم قاموا بخدمة بلادهم. وأثناء حديثهما، يسمع الاثنان صيحة هائلة صادرة عن الحشد المجتمع في ساحة الاحتفال. فيعلمان فيما بعد من «كاسكا» الاستقراطي بأن «ماركوس انطونيوس» قدم التاج إلى «قيصر»، لكنه رفضه ثلاثة مرات. يقرر «كاسيوس» و«بروتوس» ان يجتمعا مرة أخرى كي يبحثا في شؤون روما وخطر «قيصر» في أن يصبح الحاكم المطلق على الامبرطورية. وفي ذلك الحين يدخل قيصر ويراهما معا فيدب فيه الشك حول «كاسيوس» الذي لم تكن هيئته تبعث على الاطمئنان في النفس، إذ كان هزيل الجسم، غيورا، يطمع بحياة الجاه والسلطان، لأن «قيصر» يفضل أن يكون حوله رجال بدينون ومرحون لا يفكرون في السياسة.كانت خطة «كاسيوس» أن يشرك «بروتوس» في مؤامرته بالإطاحة بـ «قيصر»، لأن «بروتوس» كان محترماً ومحبباً إلى قلب الشعب الروماني، وهكذا يسهل القضاء على قوة «قيصر» فيما إذا انضم «بروتوس» إلى حلقته التآمرية. لكن الصعوبة كيف يضمه اليه ضد «قيصر»، خاصة وأن «بروتوس» كان رجلا شريفا لا يعرف الخيانة سوى أنه يقف أيام المحن لمصلحة البلاد عامة.فيقرر «كاسيوس» أن يكتب له عدة رسائل بخطوط عديدة يحذره فيها أصحابها من «قيصر» وخطر سلطاته الواسعة على روما وشعبها. وهكذا يأمل أن يضع «بروتوس» مصلحة البلد فوق مصالحه الشخصية ويقوم بالاجراءات التي تنفع بلده. ويضع أحد أصحابه الرسائل سرا في الليل على باب منزل «بروتوس» ويرحل.أما فحوى هذه الرسائل فانه يطلب من «بروتوس» ان يطيح بـ «قيصر» وينقذ روما منه. لكن بروتوس يدب النزاع في نفسه، أيصغي إلى صوت الشعب ويحقق ارادته، أم لا؟.. ويؤثر هذا النزاع على تفكيره، إذ زوجته «بورشيا» تشتكي أن جفنه لم يغمض طيلة هذه الليلة، وأنه ظل يتجول في المنزل دون كلل وعلامات الكآبة بادية على وجهه. وأخيراً يقرر الانضمام إلى «كاسيوس» وبقية المتآمرين، بعد أن يتذكر أن أجداده وأسلافه أنقذوا روما ذات يوم من «تاركوين» الديكتاتور.و عندما يجتمع المتآمرون يوافق «بروتوس» على اغتيال «قيصر» في صباح اليوم التالي الواقع في الخامس عشر من آذار. و في ليلة الرابع عشر من آذار تضطرب الطبيعة، وتبدو أنوار غريبة في السماء، وتنشق القبور وتسير الأشباح، ويهيمن جو من الرعب على المدينة. كما أن زوجة «قيصر» تشاهد أثناء نومها تمثال زوجها مطعونا تنفر منه الدماء. و عندما يأتي الصباح تطلع زوجها على الحلم وتطلب منه عدم الذهاب إلى مجلس الشيوخ في هذا اليوم. و عندا ينصاع لطلبها بالبقاء في المنزل، يدخل أحد المتآمرين ويقنع الديكتاتور بأن «كالبورنيا» كانت عصبية المزاج، ويفسر الحلم بأنه بشير بشعبية «قيصر» الواسعة في روما، وأن الجراح الدامية هي رمز لسلطة «قيصر» وسلطانه على كافة الرومان. ثم يصل بقية المتآمرين ليرفعوا أيه شبهة عنهم وليطمئنوا إلى أن «قيصر» سيذهب إلى مجلس الشيوخ في هذا اليوم.و بينما يكون «قيصر» في طريقه إلى مركز الشيوخ، تظهر له بشائر الشر ملاة أخرى. اد يسلمه شخص ورقة يعلمه فيها بالمؤامرة، لكن قيصر لا يقرأ هذه الورقة. و عندما يناديه العراف ويحذره من الخامس عشر من آذار يصم اذنيه ولا يكترث للأمر. و في قاعة مجلس الشيوخ يتمكن المتآمرون من ابعاد «انطونيو» عن «قيصر» والهائه. ثم يحلق المتآمرون حول «قيصر» ويطلبون منه أن يعيد «بوبوليوس سمبر» من المنفى. و عندما يرفض الطلب يهاجمه المتآمرون ويطعنونه بخناجرهم، فيقع على الأرض قتيلا. و بدهاء ومكر يتعمد «أنطونيو» بأنه يؤيد المتآمرين. وبذلك يستعيد مكانته ومدحهم له. و يلبى له طلبه بأن يؤبن «قيصر» في جنازته بعد خطاب «بروتوس» بالرغم من معارضة «كاسيوس» له.و يخاطب «بروتوس» العامة بصراحة وصدق وآمانة، فيشرح دوره في المؤامرة ويصرح بأن حبه واخلاصه لروما وشعبها جعله يقف موقفا سلبيا من «قيصر»، وبالتالي أن يتخلص منه لمصلحة روما العامة. فتحييه الجماهيير وتوافق على رأيه بشأن «قيصر» بأنه كان طاغية مستبد يستحق الموت.و يأتي دور «أنطونيو» كي يخاطب الجماهيير، فيتحدث اليهم بذكاء وبراعة وقوة فيتمكن من السيطرة على عقولهم وبالتالي يقلبهم على المتآمرين بقوله: بالرغم من أن «قيصر» كان طاغية مستبدا، فانه بذل جهده من أجل مصلحة شعبه وبلاده. و تثور ثائرة الجماهير وتغضب بسبب اغتيال «قيصر» مما اضطر المتآمرين إلى الهرب من روما وانقاذ حياتهم.و تنقسم الجماهير إلى معسكرين. المعسكر الأول يؤيد «ماركوس انطوني» و«اكتافيوس قيصر» و«ايمبليوس ليبيدوس». أما المعسكر الآخر فيؤيد «بروتوس» و«كاسيوس».و في سارديس يقع جدال بين «بروتوس» و«كاسيوس» حول أمور بسيطة. وأثناء اجتماعهما يُعلم «بروتوس» «كاسيوس» أن «بروشيا» انتحرت بسبب غموض نتيجة الخرب الأهلية الكئيبة. و يصاب «كاسيوس» بصدمة بسبب وفاة أخته، فيوافق «بروتوس» بعد جل قصير على أن يغادرا معسكرهما ويقابلا أعدائهما على سهول الفيلبي.في بداية المعركة تسيطر قوات «بروتوس» على قوات «أكتافيوس». في حين تسيطر قوات «أنطوني» على قوات «كاسيوس» وتكبدهم الخسائر الفادحة. وفي صبيحة اليوم الثاني يرسل «كاسيوس» أحد أتباعه ليتأكد له من أن القوات التي تقترب منه هي قوات العدو أم هي قوات «بروتوس». و عندما يرى «كاسيوس» أن «تيتينيوس» قد نزل عن حصانه بين جنود غرباء، يظن أن هؤلاء جنود الأعداء، لكنهم في الحقيقة جنود حليفة «بروتوس». فيأمر خادمه «بيداروس» أن يفتله. وعندما يعود «تيتينيوس» والجنود إلى «كاسيوس» ويشاهده قتيلا، يستل خنجره ويقتل نفسه.أما «بروتوس» فتلقى قواته أخيرا الهزيمة على أيدي «أنطونيو» ورجاله. فينتحر بأن يأمر خادمه أن يمسك له السيف في حين يهوي هو على السيف.و هكذا تكون نهاية المأساة.شخصيات المسرحيةقيصر وجماعته:قيصر - حاكم روما الذي يأمل بمزيد من السلطان.كالبورنيا - زوجة قيصر.مارك أنطونيو -

Ända sedan Caligula har härskare strävat efter effektiva maktmedel och hot att använda för att göra sig av med sina fiender. Vincent Flink Amble-Naess ser en röd tråd som löper genom historien. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Han hade kunnat ge dem åt lejonen, eller låta dem sönderslitas på sträckbänken, eller spika dem på kors längs med landsvägen. Men han var en barmhärtig kejsare, och fann därför svärdet mera lämpligt.  Det hindrade honom inte från att känna njutning vid åsynen av sina fienders blod, som stänkte över sanden och förvandlades till ånga i sommarsolen. Själv satt han i skuggan och fläktades av sina slavinnor. Det var bara en sak som bekymrade honom: tanken på dem som framhärdade i sitt brottsliga beteende; de som kallade honom Caligula den lilla stöveln istället för det namn han delade med sin berömde anfader Gaius Julius Caesar. För hans inre öga framstod deras antal som oändligt. Om rättvisan skulle skipas, tänkte han, skulle bödeln aldrig få släppa sitt svärd. Det skulle inte finnas nog med timmar under en livstid för att ta dem alla av daga. Men plötsligt kom lösningen till honom. Han reste sig ur stolen och talade, högt så att alla kunde höra:  Om bara hela Rom hade en och samma hals. Repliken återges av historikern Suetonius i en biografi över det romerska imperiets tredje kejsare, Caligula. Sitt alias fick han som liten pojke av soldaterna i sin faders här. Själv lär han väl knappast ha uppskattat det. Kanske är smeknamnet rentav en delförklaring till den blodtörst som enligt Suetonius var utmärkande för honom. Kanske var grymheten en form av kompensation för det löjliga namnet. Den unge kejsaren har sedan antiken inspirerat otaliga författare och konstnärer. Faktum är att vår kultur tycks vara besatt av den ondskefulle härskaren som litterär trop. Inte sällan får man känslan av att syftet är att legitimera våra egna härskare, vars godhet ställs i skarp kontrast till Caligula eller till någon av hans epigoner.  Den tragiska sanningen är emellertid att det inte i första hand är härskarnas medmänsklighet som räddar världen från undergång, utan deras brist på makt och inte minst på fantasi. Eller som bilmagnaten Henry Ford lär ha formulerat saken i en tidningsintervju: Om jag hade frågat människor vad de ville ha, hade de bara bett mig om en snabbare häst. Konsumenterna kunde inte föreställa sig explosionsmotorn eller automobilen. Och allt Caligula kunde föreställa sig var åtminstone som det verkade en ny och förbättrad halshuggning. Men kanske var han ändå någonting på spåren. Kejsarens önskan skulle nämligen komma att infrias, men först millennier senare, och av en ättling till det romerska imperiets ärkefiender, germanerna.  Den tysk-amerikanske kärnfysikern Robert J Oppenheimer var 38 år gammal när han tog anställning vid laboratoriet i Los Alamos. Trots att han var lungsiktig och mager som en pinne var han en handlingens man. I samtal med militären, som finansierade laboratoriet, visade han prov på en beslutsamhet de aldrig tidigare hade skådat. Det tog inte lång tid förrän han utnämndes till vetenskaplig ledare för den forskarinsats som skulle komma att gå till historien som Manhattanprojektet. Målet för verksamheten var att skapa ett vapen. Ett kärnvapen kallade man det redan under arbetets gång, eftersom den relevanta processen var tänkt att äga rum inuti kärnan av en uranatom. Idén var enkel: Neutroner från en kluven atomkärna störtar in i två intilliggande kärnor, som i sin tur sönderfaller och utstrålar fler neutroner. En kedjereaktion utlöses, och sprängkraften som utvecklas blir mycket stor, inte minst med tanke på hur lite material som egentligen krävs. Det vapen som sedermera blev projektets slutprodukt atombomben Little boy innehöll inte mer än 60 kilo uran.  Bomben i sig vägde emellertid väl över 4 ton. Det berodde inte minst på de säkerhetsanordningar som krävdes för att säkerställa att explosionen inte utlöstes tidigare än väntat. Dessa anordningar var så omfattande att de amerikanska generalerna länge var osäkra på om vapnet verkligen skulle gå att använda. Kanske hade de förslösat hela sin budget på ett meningslöst metallstycke. Kanske var Oppenheimer bara en förvirrad vetenskapsman som saknade kontakt med krigets realiteter. Det var först vid testsprängningen som gick under kodnamnet Trinity som de fick bevis på motsatsen.  Sprängningen ägde rum den 16 juli 1945 i öknen Jornada del Muerto i New Mexico. Oppenheimer stod på behörigt avstånd och betraktade detonationen iklädd skyddsglasögon. I en tv-intervju långt senare skulle han berätta om hur han vid åsynen av svampmolnet drog sig till minnes några rader ur det indiska diktverket Bhagavadgita, närmare bestämt ur guden Vishnus varningstal till mänskligheten: Mitt namn är Döden, världarnas förstörare. Eller som det heter i Oppenheimers egen översättning: Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.  Det han bevittnade var samma urkraft som några månader senare skulle hemsöka Hiroshima och Nagasaki, och sätta stopp för 1900-talets allra blodigaste konflikt till priset av 200000 människoliv. Några dagar efter dådet skulle Oppenheimer storma in på president Trumans kontor, smälla igen dörren bakom sig och kräva att de resterande vapnen skulle plockas isär. Kanske insåg han att det inte skulle krävas många fler bomber än de som redan fanns, för att utplåna hela den mänskliga civilisationen. Men det var för sent. Oppenheimer hade redan spelat ut sin roll. Och Caligulas önskan var infriad: Nu hade hela Rom en och samma hals. Vissa indicier pekar mot att den unge kejsaren redan under sin livstid hade sina aningar om att han tids nog skulle få sin vilja igenom. År 41 e. kr. planerade han att lämna Rom för gott och resa till Alexandria, där han hoppades bli dyrkad som en gud. Men innan avresan gick han en blodig död till mötes, mördad i sitt hem av de politiska rivalerna. Trettio hugg gav de honom, samma antal som hans anfader Julius Ceasar hade tillfogats under marsfestligheterna 50 år tidigare. Liksom vid mordet på Ceasar var de sammansvurna överens om att dådets syfte var att återgälda makten från kejsaren till senaten. Men inte heller nu skulle de få som de ville. Man kan döda tyrannen, men imperiet lever vidare. Nya härskare träder fram ur kulisserna, berättelserna om deras illdåd flyter samman i historieböckerna och snart är de lika svåra att urskilja som kejsarnas ansikten i marmor. Efter Caligula kom Claudius, och efter honom kom Nero, som när Rom stod i lågor lär ha klättrat upp på palatsbyggnadens tak och reciterat poesi medan folket gick under. Emellanåt framstår hela raden av romerska kejsare liksom av storkungar, furirer och tsar-pretendenter som en enda lång serie upprepningar. Vare sig det hotas med de romerska legionerna, med den tyska blitzen eller med kärnvapenspetsarna i Ryssland, tycks det mig som att hotet kommer från en och samma man. Caligula var 28 år gammal när han avled i blodförlust utanför det kejserliga residenset. Men enligt Suetonius lär han dessförinnan ha upplåtit ett sista ord, ur djupet av sitt lidande. Vivo, jag lever, lär han ha skrikit, så att det ekade i stengolvet.  Tanken är ofrånkomlig: Kanske tillhörde rösten inte enbart Caligula, den förvuxne pojken som mot allt förnuft insisterade på sin egen odödlighet. Kanske var det i själva verket en annan som talade den evige tyrannen, som genom kejsarens strupe lät meddela oss:  Jag lever vidare. Vincent Flink Amble-Naess, kulturskribent

Julius Caesar's early life was fraught with danger, as he found himself on the wrong side of violent civil strife in Rome. After spending years in a self-imposed exile to escape his enemies, he returns to Rome to launch a career in politics. But soon he strikes out again on the high seas, in search of the skills he needs to become the top man in Rome...but new dangers await in the Aegean Sea, and a fateful encounter with pirates will test the young Caesar's mettle. A story from ancient Rome, based on various ancient traditions (Plutarch, Life of Julius Caesar 1.8-2.7; Suetonius, Life of Julius Caesar 2.1-2; Velleius Paterculus, Roman History 41-42), featuring: Gaius Julius Caesar, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Cinna, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Apollonius Molo --- CREDITS: Music by Volodymyr Piddubnyk and Adrian Berenguer (www.storyblocks.com) Episode Thumbnail Image: "Julius Caesar captured by Cilician pirates, drawing" (20th century) WDS Logo Image: Kylix with Apollo playing the lyre and pouring a libation (c. 470 BC, Delphi Archeological Museum) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode, we're going to talk about a person virtually everyone has heard of: Gaius Julius Caesar. You've seen the ‘Veni, Vidi, Vici' chest tattoos. You've had the salad and the $5 pizzas, but this week we're going to discuss the series of conquests and conflicts that turned Caesar from an ambitious young upstart into one of the most powerful military leaders Rome had ever seen. And, you guessed it, it involves lots of killing. Like, lots.

"Veni, vidi, vici": Ich kam, sah und siegte. Dieser Satz soll auf den römischen Feldherrn Gaius Julius Caesar zurückgehen. Kia hat diesen Satz für den XCeed adaptiert in: „Der Kia XCeed kam, sah und siegte!“ Der im Herbst 2019 eingeführte neue Crossover gewann das „Goldene Lenkrad 2019“, wurde zum „Women's World Car of the Year 2019“ (Kategorie „Urban“) gewählt und erhielt darüber hinaus die renommierten Designpreise iF Award und Red Dot Award. Seit März 2020 bietet Kia den Wagen auch als Plug-in Hybrid an. Darum geht es diesmal!Machen wir uns nichts vor. Die Elektromobilität im Automobilsektor ist nicht aufzuhalten, allerdings dürfte es nicht so einfach werden, wie sich das mancher vorstellt. Die Anzahl der verfügbaren Ladesäulen im öffentlichen Raum ist noch nicht in dem Maß gestiegen, die man für ein flächendeckendes Laden von Automobilen benötigt. Demzufolge scheuen sich viele potentielle Autokäufer, ein reines Elektrofahrzeug zu kaufen. Ein gut gangbarer Zwischenschritt ist allerdings der Kauf eines Plug-in Hybriden, kurz, PHEV. So kann man sich an die Elektromobilität gewöhnen, ohne die Sorge vor dem Liegenbleiben zu haben. Power und Drive!    Zu dieser Fahrzeugkategorie gehört der Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid. Das Fahrzeug ist auch mit konventionellen Antrieben zu haben. Das moderne Parallelhybridsystem des XCeed Plug-in Hybrid kombiniert einen (77,2 kW) 105 PS starken 1,6-Liter-Benzindirekteinspritzer mit einem 60,5 PS starken (44,5-kW) Elektromotor, das ergibt eine Gesamtleistung von 141 PS (104 kW). Tempo 100 erreicht der Crossover nach 11,0 Sekunden, je nach Ausstattung wird eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von bis zu 193 Kilometern pro Stunde erzielt. Im reinen Elektrobetrieb ist der Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid 120 Kilometern pro Stunde schnell, seine Reichweite beträgt dann 58 Kilometer. Damit ist ein tägliches, emissionsfreies Pendeln mit niedrigen Betriebskosten möglich.  Mittels der HEV-Taste kann der Fahrer zwischen Elektro- und Hybridantrieb (EV/HEV) wählen. Im HEV-Modus werden je nach Fahrsituation sowohl der Benzin- als auch der Elektromotor für den Antrieb genutzt. Für reine Fahrten in der ist der Stadt EV-Modus ideal – das Fahrzeug wird dann vorwiegend elektrisch angetrieben. Im kombinierten Verbrauch kommt der Wagen mit 1,2 Litern Benzin und 10,7 Kilowattstunden Strom je 100 Kilometer weit, das sind CO2 Emissionen von 29 g/km. Die Kosten!Der Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid kostet in der Version Vision ab 35.990 €, unser Testkandidat liegt in der Ausstattungslinie Spirit bei 37.290 €. Maximal kann man für die Version PLATINUM 42.890 € ausgeben. Besonders interessant ist allerdings der Hinweis, dass die Innovationsprämie und die AVAS-Förderung die genannten Preise um insgesamt 7.210 € reduzieren. Das macht den Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid noch attraktiver.Alle Fotos: ©  Kia Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

1902 bekommt Theodor Mommsen für seine "Römische Geschichte" den Literaturnobelpreis und das Bild Caesars erhält einen festen Platz: Caesar, das politische Genie, der große Feldherr, der Kristallisationspunkt der römischen, ja der Weltgeschichte.

"Wie der Künstler alles malen kann, nur nicht die vollendete Schönheit, so kann auch der Geschichtsschreiber, wo ihm alle tausend Jahre das Vollkommene begegnet, nur darüber schweigen." So schrieb einst der berühmte Historiker Theodor Mommsen über Gaius Julius Caesar. Autor: Marko Rösseler

The Gary Null Show is here to inform you on the best news in health, healing, the environment.    Our Great Awokening and France's Great Terror samuel gregg As efforts intensify to purge anyone and anything from Western culture that offends the illiberal left's sensitivities, the fanaticism which drives the Great Awokening has become abundantly evident. To question the 1619 project's factual veracity, for example, is seen as evidence of implicit racism. Any confidence that the American Founding has something to teach the world is considered an instance of what Marxists call “false consciousness.” References to reason, evidence, rule of law, or the West's Jewish and Christian heritages are viewed as the language of someone hopelessly in thrall to “Eurocentric” outlooks. What impresses me, however, is less the historically-illiterate justifications offered for the decapitation of statutes of Christopher Columbus, than the righteous fury visible in the eyes of those shouting slogans like “Rhodes Must Fall!” Prudence, circumspection, and subtly are out. Raw emotion and ideological purity are in. You are either with us or against us. And if you don't endorse everything that we—the woke—think, say and do, be prepared to face the consequences. The problem is that once that particular tiger gets out of its cage, putting it back in is extremely difficult. There are always plenty on the left willing to be more radical than thou, and who will interpret any reticence to affirm wholeheartedly their positions as prima facie evidence of backsliding or outright treachery. That's a dynamic which we're seen before with people like Che Guevara and Lenin. But the standard-setter for such behavior was the French Revolution's most violent stage, commonly known as la Terreur. From Hope and Anticipation, to Fear and Trembling Few events have been more thoroughly parsed, praised, and castigated as the French Revolution. That owes something to the sense that the Revolution was one of those rare occasions that represented a decisive break with the past. Contemporary witnesses describe the millenarian-like hopes that permeated French society in the immediate aftermath of 1789. But fascination with the French Revolution also has much to do with another factor: the penchant for frenzied violence which raised its head right from the beginning. Every Revolution has its casualties. Loyalists were among those of the American Revolution. Many of them were subject to anti-Tory laws which ranged from being disenfranchised to large fines. Compared, however, to other revolutions, the Loyalists got off lightly. The Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 was followed by the targeting of anyone officially designated by the new regime as “former people.” Arbitrary imprisonment, confiscation of property, and terror were used ruthlessly against groups like the nobility, but gradually extended to categories who had hardly been friends of the Czarist regime: classical liberals, constitutionalists, businessmen, etc. It was, however, the French Revolution which established the modern benchmark for systematic violence against anyone insufficiently in sync with the political views of whoever is in charge at any given moment. Many of the Revolution's early leaders—people like the American Revolutionary hero, the Marquis de Lafayette—quickly became persona non grata as the revolutionary tumult escalated through successive thresholds of rage. Those revolutionaries who managed to transition through each stage were few in number. Many eventually found themselves strapped to a guillotine. Others eked out miserable existences in exile alongside the royalists who preceded them. Over the past two centuries, many explanations have been offered for the frantic character of the Revolution's violence. They include pent-up resentment against the old regime, fears of fifth columnists who might help invading foreign armies, concerns about counter-revolutionary plots, and the outbreak of full-scale popular uprisings in 1793 against the Paris government in provinces ranging from the Vendée to Brittany and cities like Marseille and Lyon. Virtually all historians of the Revolution underscore the widespread paranoia that occupied the minds of Revolutionary leaders but also many ordinary citizens, particularly those living in cities and for whom politics had become the be-all and end-all of life. There was, however, something else at work which became apparent after Louis XVI's execution on January 21, 1793, and the subsequent acceleration of tensions between the two groups which then dominated Revolutionary politics: the Girondins and the Jacobins. While the former were considered more moderate than the latter, both groups were firmly on the left of the revolutionary scale. That, however, didn't save the Girondins from being destroyed by the logic that came to direct French political life and which resulted in thousands being executed before the Terror ended with the guillotining of the man most associated with it on July 28, 1794. One Single Will Given his public reputation as the Terror's chief architect, many are surprised to learn that Maximilian Robespierre wasn't the most extreme Jacobin. As a group, those associated with the Jacobin Club were divided into factions constantly at odds with each other. Some like Jacques Hébert, leader of the Hébertistes and editor of the radical newspaper Le Père Duchesne, were far to Robespierre's left. Neither the Hébertistes' inclination to militant atheism nor their desire for direct state control of much of the economy were to Robespierre's taste. Others, such as Georges Danton, eventually gravitated to Robespierre's right. Danton had played a major role in the Monarchy's overthrow in August 1792 and did nothing to stop the September Massacres which followed. By late-1793, however, Danton had become convinced of the folly of persecuting the Church and was calling for an end to extreme revolutionary violence. In a way, however, the details of these policy differences were unimportant to Robespierre and close allies like Louis Antoine de Saint-Just. What really mattered to Robespierre was that there could be no differences. According to Robespierre, France needed what he famously called une volonté une (one single will). In this ideal, he believed, was to be found the Revolution's ultimate security and salvation from its enemies, foreign and domestic. As a scholarship boy at one of France's most prestigious schools, the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Robespierre had been influenced by two sets of writings which featured significantly during the late-French Enlightenment. The first were classical texts which extolled the virtues of the Roman Republic and its leaders. The second were the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, especially his 1762 book Du contrat social(The Social Contract), and his popularization of what was called la volonté générale. For Rousseau, the “general will” didn't necessarily mean what an actual majority of people in a given political society wanted. Rather, it was the basis for the legitimacy of any government that acted for the well-being of all the people rather than sectional interests. Robespierre took this concept of the general will, but conflated the government and the people at the expense of the latter. “The Government,” he once proclaimed, “has to defend itself against all the factions which attack it; the punishment of the people's enemies is death.” To criticize the government was thus to be against the people. Ergo, the government could claim that any strike which it launched against its opponents was a strike against “the people's enemies.” As Robespierre saw it, Revolutionary France was riddled with factions (including those which split the Jacobins) and threatened by those who wished to overthrow the government. Consequently, it was the responsibility of the virtuous to strike ruthlessly, in a manner akin to Marcus Junius Brutus' slaying of Gaius Julius Caesar, against those who stood in the way of the “one single will.” For Robespierre, such enemies of the Republic included those Girondins who had compromised their revolutionary credentials by working with Louis XVI before August 1792, promotors of faction like Danton and Hébert, and those simply incapable of attaining republican virtue (nobles, old regime officials, clergy loyal to Rome, etc.). Expelling these disparate groups from the body politic was how you ensured the general will prevailed and finally realized a united, indivisible and virtuous Republic—that is, one single will. Naturally, there was a raw power-play dimension to all this. Robespierre saw people like Hébert and Danton as threating his dominance of the government. But it is impossible to underestimate the effects of the depth of Robespierre's commitment to his ideology: one which led to the inexorable conclusion that being a virtuous citizen of the Republic (like Brutus) meant being willing to use extreme violence (like Brutus) against its foes. Robespierre spelt this out in a speech in February 1794 when the Terror was at its height: If virtue be the spring of a popular government in times of peace, the spring of that government during a revolution is virtue combined with terror: virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country. Such thinking is what resulted in about 17,000 people being officially “kissed by Madame Guillotine,” as the saying went, in the name of virtue. Beware the Coming of the Reign of Wokedom Two things eventually brought Robespierre undone. The first was the economic crisis which engulfed France in the form of food-shortages and rampant inflation throughout 1794. Given his preeminence in the revolutionary regime, Robespierre become increasingly unpopular among Paris's hyper-politicized population. More importantly, enough Revolutionary leaders recognized that the logical conclusion of Robespierre's outlook was the destruction of anyone who did not fully adopt his positions, and therefore a series of continuous purges with no apparent endpoint. On July 26, 1794, Robespierre effectively confirmed such trepidations when he gave a speech to the National Convention and then to the Jacobin Club arguing that the time had come to “Punish the traitors, purge the bureau of the Committee of General Security, purge the Committee itself, and subordinate it to the Committee of Public Safety, purge the Committee of Public Safety itself and create a unified government under the supreme authority of the Convention!” This call for the elimination of anyone not 100 percent behind Robespierre led enough Convention members to summon up the courage to purge the master-purger himself. After a short and violent political struggle, Robespierre and 21 of his supporters were guillotined on July 28 at the Place de la Révolution. The Terror was over. But it seared France's political culture for decades afterward. The parallels between the France of 1793-1794 and our present Great Awokening are not exact. The historical circumstances are very different. We are not living in the shadow of an old regime. The woke have not seized the levers of political power in the way that Robespierre and his followers did. The primary similarity between revolutionaries like Robespierre and twenty-first century wokedom is a yearning for ever-increasing ideological purity, something which lends itself to identifying more and more categories of people and ideas as unacceptable. That generates chronic instability as people can never quite know if they and their ideas remain among the elect. Indeed, cancel culture cannot help but actively seek out opponents whose existence is seen as obstructing the creation of a new world purified of error. For without new enemies, it loses its raison d'être. In this light, those contemporary Girondins who dominate larger municipal governments throughout America and who rule the universities throughout Western countries, would be foolish to imagine that the illiberal left can somehow be placated by letting them riot, loot small businesses, and destroy public monuments. Words like “compromise,” “tolerance,” and “moderation” do not form part of the lexicon of wokery. After all, once “one single will” has been established, such habits become superfluous. Perhaps at some point, the woke will turn on themselves as they try to outdo each other in showing whose consciousness has been raised the most. Unless or until that happens, however, anyone who sits on the vast spectrum from the liberal-minded left through to conservative traditionalists should have no illusions that the woke—like Robespierre—will be satisfied with anything less than complete submission. And that would represent the end of liberty in any meaningful sense as well as the civilization which gave rise to it. 

Pop the sparkling cider, we finally meet Gaius Julius Caesar! We’re going back in time a bit, to see how Caesar had been a background character in Roman politics.  Caesar was a small fish in a big pond, unlike big kahunas like Pompey Magnus and Crassus.  We see Caesar’s early career, and how he tries to make a name for himself, and some of his misadventures, in the wacky world of the Roman Republic.Our essential question to keep in mind throughout the episode is: What is Julius Caesar like?Check out the show’s website. Check out the show on YouTube, and relive and share short episode highlights!  Follow the show on Twitter @DOTRRPod for Roman history memes, show updates, and more!  Contact the show by emailing dotrrpod@gmail.com.  Intro/Outro Music: “Into Uncertainty’’ from Jay Man - OurMusicBox.  Thumbnail made with Bannersnack.  “Proscription” sound effect obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com.  “Smooth and Sexy R&B” Death of the Roman Republic (DOTRR) is an educational podcast, and any clips from other media is used to transform and elevate its educational content, using modern media to help people relate to a 2000 year old story.

Der römische Feldherr Gaius Julius Caesar geht ein großes Risiko ein – und verändert damit die Geschichte des Römischen Reiches für immer.

In this first episode of our ancient assassinations mini-series, we talk about the life and death of one of history's greatest conquerors, Gaius Julius Caesar. Was Caesar really a rising tyrant bringing about the end of the Roman Republic? Or was he a "people's dictator" who instituted some progressive reforms despite some unsavory methods of governance? We talk about Caesar's time as a military leader, numerous love affairs, some ironic execution methods, and Aamer's gift for tongue twisters.

We wish everyone a Great Morning on this unlucky Sunday! It is the Ides of March, and the Great Morning gang is here to share with our viewers our thoughts on: rude shoppers, the Fibonacci Sequence, telekinesis, and utter nonsense! Be safe out there, and if you choose to stay indoors - choose to listen to Great Morning to kill some time! In loving memory of Gaius Julius Caesar! 

Gaius Julius Caesar (100–44 BCE) is regarded as one of the most effective military generals in human history. His conquest of Gaul propelled him into the national spotlight, providing him the platform he needed to establish himself as a supreme leader. Despite what we learn about him and school (and how we learn about him), his biography should be a cautionary tale about power and betrayal. While the Gorgias and De Oratore address the necessity of speaking well and telling the truth, Caesar’s Commentaries are pure propaganda, an early version of the “campaign memoir,” in which he uses his story of conquest to implicitly make his case for becoming the ruler of Rome. This text provides an important counterpoint to the work of Cicero in particular. Caesar embodied precisely what Cicero was trying to warn his generation against.

Roman general and later dictator Gaius Julius Caesar is the first human ever to write about the Cologne Lowland. When Caesar attacks and conquers Gaul in 59 BCE, he also fights Germanic tribes on the Rhine. There, he encounters a Germanic tribe, the Ubii. The Ubii will be very important for Cologne‘s history.

In this episode, I will be re-introducing you to Julius Caesar, arguably one of the greatest Roman generals and politicians of all-time.

The history of the Romans as they advanced the frontiers of Classical civilization is often told as a story of warfare and conquest - the mighty legions encountering the "barbarians." But this only tells one side of the story. Who were the Celts, Goths, Huns, and Persians met by the Romans as they marched north and east? What were the political, military, and social institutions that made Rome so stable, allowing its power to be wielded against these different cultures for nearly three centuries? What role did those institutions themselves play in assimilating barbarian peoples? These 36 engaging lectures tell the story of the complex relationship between each of these native peoples and their Roman conquerors as they intermarried, exchanged ideas and mores, and, in the ensuing provincial Roman cultures, formed the basis of Western European civilization. You'll study the institutions that made Rome so extraordinary, as well as the extraordinary figures - both Roman and barbarian - whose names have been familiar to us for so long. You'll learn about Augustus, Constantine I, Diocletian, Gaius Julius Caesar, Nero, Attila the Hun, as well as a myriad of figures whose names are less familiar to us. But these lectures deliver far more than personal snapshots, as compelling as those may be. Professor Harl brings to life the institutions that shaped both Rome and her relationship with, and assimilation of, the barbarians at her constantly expanding frontiers. You'll come away with a new appreciation of how our Western world came to be and detailed knowledge about the individuals from royalty to "barbarian" who played key roles in that process.

It’s the season three premiere and boy is it a scattered one, including little known factoids about some infamously ferocious historical redheads and a queen whose hair turned white overnight. Delve into the many loves of Cleopatra and Gaius Julius Caesar (along with each other), cross-dressing Romans, decisive beheadings, felinophobes, the tale of the Gordian Knot and the unlikely American success story of Adolph Hitler’s nephew. With special appearances by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, celebrate the first episode of our third season by taking a closer look at some of yesteryear’s Distinguished Despots and Enigmatic Eminences.

Julius Caesar, written by Joshua J. Mark and narrated by Richard de Man: https://www.ancient.eu/Julius_Caesar/ If you like our audio articles, please support us by becoming a member or donating to our non-profit company: - www.ancient.eu/membership/ - www.ancient.eu/donate/ - www.patreon.com/ahe Gaius Julius Caesar was born 12 July 100 BCE (though some cite 102 as his birth year). His father, also Gaius Julius Caesar, was a Praetor who governed the province of Asia and his mother, Aurelia Cotta, was of noble birth. Both held to the Populare ideology of Rome which favored democratization of government and more rights for the lower class as opposed to the Optimate factions’ claim of the superiority of the nobility and traditional Roman values which favored the upper classes. It should be understood that the Optimate and the Populare were not political parties in conflict with each other but, rather, political ideologies which many people shifted toward and from, regardless of class in society. The concept of appealing to the people for support, rather than seeking approval from the Roman Senate or the other Patricians, would work well for Caesar later in life.

“Bits of weapons and horses' limbs lay about, and human heads fixed to tree-trunks. In groves nearby were barbaric altars, where the Germans had laid the tribunes and senior centurions and sacrificed them.” — Tacitus “It stands on record that armies already wavering and on the point of collapse have been rallied by the women, pleading heroically with their men, thrusting forward their bared breasts…” — Tacitus“They are not so easily convinced to plough the land and wait patiently for harvest as to challenge an enemy and run the risk to be wounded. They think it is weak and spiritless to earn by sweat what they might purchase with blood.” — Tacitus A little over 2,000 years ago, Rome was a well-oiled war machine crushing everything in its path. At that time, the Roman legions were the most deadly military force in the Western world, and possibly in the whole world. Every year, they conquered new peoples and pushed the boundaries of their empire. Rape and pillage was the name of the game, and they were masters at it. But in the year 9 CE, something happened in the forests of Germany that was going to have a profound impact on the destiny of the world. Some historians go so far as to suggest that both the German and English languages may not exist as we know them, had things gone differently. News arriving from Germany, along with a severed head delivered by courier, threw Emperor Augustus in a deep depression. In this first of two parts about the clash between Rome's power with Germanic tribesmen, we'll look at what we know about Germanic tribal cultures from those days, walk among the grisly remnants of a battlefield with Roman general Germanicus, and consider how Tacitus' work was fuel to the fire of Nazi ideology 2,000 years later. Also, in this episode: Europe's pre-Christian religions, naked tribesmen snowboarding on their shields, the dramatic encounter between Gaius Marius with Cimbri & Teutones, Gaius Julius Caesar making a larger-than-life entrance into Germany, Drusus' campaign beyond the Rhine, racing on horseback for 200 miles to see one's brother, slavery with golden chains, and much more as we set the stage for part 2, when the big showdown will take place.

“Bits of weapons and horses' limbs lay about, and human heads fixed to tree-trunks. In groves nearby were barbaric altars, where the Germans had laid the tribunes and senior centurions and sacrificed them.” Tacitus  “It stands on record that armies already wavering and on the point of collapse have been rallied by the women, pleading heroically with their men, thrusting forward their bared breasts…” Tacitus “They are not so easily convinced to plough the land and wait patiently for harvest as to challenge an enemy and run the risk to be wounded. They think it is weak and spiritless to earn by sweat what they might purchase with blood.” Tacitus  A little over 2,000 years ago, Rome was a well-oiled war machine crushing everything in its path. At that time, the Roman legions were the most deadly military force in the Western world, and possibly in the whole world. Every year, they conquered new peoples and pushed the boundaries of their empire. Rape and pillage was the name of the game, and they were masters at it. But in the year 9 CE, something happened in the forests of Germany that was going to have a profound impact on the destiny of the world. Some historians go so far as to suggest that both the German and English languages may not exist as we know them, had things gone differently. News arriving from Germany, along with a severed head delivered by courier, threw Emperor Augustus in a deep depression.  In this first of two parts about the clash between Rome’s power with Germanic tribesmen, we’ll look at what we know about Germanic tribal cultures from those days, walk among the grisly remnants of a battlefield with Roman general Germanicus, and consider how Tacitus’ work was fuel to the fire of Nazi ideology 2,000 years later. Also, in this episode: Europe’s pre-Christian religions, naked tribesmen snowboarding on their shields, the dramatic encounter between Gaius Marius with Cimbri & Teutones, Gaius Julius Caesar making a larger-than-life entrance into Germany, Drusus’ campaign beyond the Rhine, racing on horseback for 200 miles to see one’s brother, slavery with golden chains, and much more as we set the stage for part 2, when the big showdown will take place. 

Vem var Pompeius och varför kallas han för Den Store? I det här avsnittet går Peter och Johan igenom bildandet av det första triumviratet 60 f.kr. Triumviratet var en allians mellan de tre mäktigaste politikerna i Rom vid denna tid: Marcus Licinius Crassus, Gnaeus Pompeius och inte minst Gaius Julius Caesar. Crassus var omåttligt rik och Pompeius var länge den mäktigaste mannen i Rom, men den yngre Caesar kom så småningom att överskugga dem båda två.

That the Roman leader Gaius Julius Caesar is so well remembered today for his achievements as a general is largely due to his skills as a writer. In The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works (Pantheon, 2017), the distinguished classics scholar Kurt Raaflaub provides readers with a new translation of the collection of writings known as the Corpus Caesarianum, which he supplements with footnotes, maps, and images designed to make Caesar's writings accessible for the modern-day reader. Raaflaub situates the books within the context of Caesar's life, explaining how the first and most famous of them, the Gallic War, was a political tool designed to bolster Caesar's stature back in Rome. In the aftermath of the civil wars that followed his crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BCE, Caesar wrote his follow-up Civil War, which was largely complete when he was assassinated five years later. Though Caesar died before writing the later works attributed to his authorship, Raaflaub presents them as extensions of Caesar's labors, with the Alexandrian War written from his notes and early materials he drafted, and the African War and the Spanish War authored by men who served in both campaigns and who were firsthand witnesses to them.

In dieser Folge geht es weiter mit der Geschichte die hinter Gaius Julius Caesar steckt. Wir klären Fragen, wie zum Beispiel hat er seine Gegner besiegt? Hatte er eine Liebesaffäre mit Kleopatra? Und was hat es mit dem Ausruf: "Auch du mein Sohn Brutus!?" auf sich. Ausserdem beweist Elias, das Oli wohl in Latein nicht ganz so gut aufgepasst hat.

Gaius Julius Caesar, also known as Caligula, this Friday shorts episode I talk about the Roman Emperor who wanted to be a cult leader. He started off his reign doing some good, but as usual, things go sideways. He had a beloved horse, he loved his women, and his games. I also talk about a little visit I will be having soon with some Jehovah's Witnesses. Say What?! You know me, I won't turn down a good time. Enjoy Michael

The last hundred years of the Republic saw tensions between competing military and political leaders at Rome, out of which grew urban violence, politically-motivated murders and brutal civil war. Today we trace the historical background of the years 133-44 BCE, beginning with the Gracchi brothers' revolutionary attempts to deal with the urban poor, and concluding with the dictatorship and assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar.
