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 - a small fish in a big pond. 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?

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. (Speaking as a not-Fair Use expert), DOTRR seeks to use Fair Use, in transforming media clips used for educational purposes, and in that Death of the Roman Republic will never make a profit (no advertisements, Patreon, etc.).
*2024 update - Google Podcasts is apparently shutting down, I am attempting to upload to podcast to Spotify. Fingers crossed this works, I nonetheless have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
