107 - Caesar 1: Man of Destiny

The much awaited series on Julius Caesar begins, with the inaugural episode: "Man of Destiny".

In this episode:

  • Caesar's formative years in the shadow of Sulla's dictatorship
  • His early political boldness and refusal to divorce Cornelia
  • The capture by pirates and his merciless revenge
  • Caesar's rise through the ranks of Roman politics as Quaestor and Aedile
  • The Catilinarian conspiracy and Caesar's narrow escape from execution
  • His famous ambition: "I would rather be first man here than second at Rome"

A tale of charm, audacity, and calculated risk as a young aristocrat from a modest branch of an ancient family navigates the treacherous waters of late Republican politics. Caesar—stylish, charismatic, deeply in debt, and dangerously ambitious—sets himself against the legacy of Sulla while methodically building a coalition that would eventually transform Rome forever.
