Details

McKyler 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.
