Caesar: Death of a Dictator | A HistoryExtra podcast series
On the Ides of March 44 BC, the most famous Roman in history, was murdered. Julius Caesar's assassination transformed Rome forever, and the image of his bloody toga has haunted monarchs, dictators and tyrants ever since. In our new HistoryExtra podcast series, Caesar: Death of a Dictator, we'll return to the violent order of Republican Rome, revealing what drove Brutus and his allies to take that fateful step – and why those who came to bury Caesar ultimately buried themselves as well.
