Podcasts about Gaius Julius Caesar

He was at various times in his life known as Gaius Octavius Thurinus; Gaius Julius Caesar; and Caesar Augustus. He called himself Princeps, the first man in Rome; the Roman Senate would eventually call him pater patriae, the father of his country. Heir to his great-uncle Julius Caesar, this 19 year old was dropped into the tumult of Roman political violence, and emerged from it the sole and undisputed victor after decades of civil war. He murdered hundreds, and then became the founder of a new Roman system that brought peace and prosperity to Rome's citizens and inhabitants. He was tyrannical and giving, cruel and clever, manipulative and noble. And he has claim to be one of the most successful politicians to ever lead a nation or a kingdom, who created a system which lasted for hundreds of years after his death.With me to discuss Caesar Augustus is Adrian Goldsworthy, author of Augustus: First Emperor of Rome, now being reissued in its second edition. The annoyingly prolific author of a shelf of books, both of ancient history and historical fiction, Adrian Goldsworthy has been described as the OG scholar of the Roman Army and the Mr Darcy of Ancient History. Since his next book comes out in May, this promises to be the first of at least two conversations with him in 2026–and this is his sixth appearance on the podcast.ChaptersIntroduction: Caesar Augustus (0:00)The Standard Received View: Syme's Roman Revolution (1:33)The Importance of Names: Octavian vs Caesar (13:27)Why Not Call Him Emperor?

Nachdem wir uns in der letzten Episode mit Sulla und dessen Diktatur beschäftigt haben, befassen wir uns nun mit einem Mann, der nahezu alle Römer an Bekanntheit und Popularität überstrahlt: Gaius Julius Caesar. Wie ging es nach Sullas Tod weiter, wie kam Caesar an die Macht und wie sah das Ende der Römischen Republik aus?

Antiikin tunnetuimman roomalaisen, Gaius Julius Caesarin, vaikutusta ei voi liioitella. Caesarin omasta kirjallisesta tuotannosta on jäänyt jäljelle sotakirjat "Gallian sota" ja "Sisällissota". Ne ovat itsessään vaikutusvaltaisia teoksia, mutta tiedetään, että Caesar kirjoitti myös esim. kielitieteestä ja hänen kädenjälkensä näkyy latinan kielen kehityksessä. Ehkei kannata myöskään unohtaa, että käytämme juliaanista kalenteria Yhdysvaltain itsenäisyysjulistuksesta Napoleoniin Caesar on hahmo, joka näkyy ja kuuluu, kun ratkotaan asioita valtiomuodosta ja demokratian tilasta. Väitöskirjatutkija Maria Jokela on tutkinut laajasti Caesarin aikaa ja tuo esiin myös roomalaisten keskeisiä juhlia ja trumfeja.

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.

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.

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.

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 -

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.

“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.

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.
