Julius Caesar makes the greatest gamble of his life and crosses the Rubicon to march on his political enemies. The civil war has begun. The unprepared Pompey and the Optimates are thunderstruck by Caesar's swift advance. Most Romans fear Caesar will behave like Sulla or Marius. Caesar has other plans. He soon unveils his clemency to the world in dramatic fashion.     Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one-time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory   Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History" Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com

With Caesar’s conquest of Gaul complete, focus now turns to his much anticipated return to Rome. Caesar envisions the triumphant return of a conquering hero. The Optimates envision a criminal being dragged before a court controlled and guarded by the armed soldiers of Pompey. With both sides claiming to want peace yet refusing to back down, an ancient arms race begins.     Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory   Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History" Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com

But with a massive Gallic relief army bearing down upon them, Caesar and his army find themselves surrounded.

Julius Caesar suffers a crushing series of blows upon his return from Britain as he receives word that multiple members of his direct family have died. Back in Rome the funeral is anything but normal. Crassus is becoming insufferable at the excitement of his Syrian command and Cato may or may not have engaged in wife-trafficking.   Note #1: While the translation of Plutarch I have says the Roman crowd seized Julia’s “corpse”, it’s possible she had already been cremated by that point in which case they would have been seizing her funeral urn.   Correction/Note #2: Cato did have children by another woman, Atilia. Atilia was Cato's wife before he married Marcia and the children he had by Atilia were adults by the time of the Civil War (his daughter by Atila, Porcia, was already married to Bibulus). Therefore, I still believe the daughters Cato needed looking after when he fled Rome were the daughters of Marcia since these daughters would have been younger and therefore would need a mother to look after them.   Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory  Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History"   Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com

Summary: Julius Caesar takes the fight to Germania. To do so he will need to demonstrate Rome's incredible engineering abilities. Crossing one frontier isn’t enough for Caesar though and he soon has designs on a second even more outlandish exploit that same year.    Correction #1: I got a little carried away talking about horses in this episode. I say that horses had been the primary method of quick transportation for thousands and tens of thousands of years. In reality the earliest known domestication of horses was roughly 6,000 years ago in the steppelands north of the Black Sea from Ukraine to Kazakhstan according to Brittanica. Meaning that yes, domesticated horses had been around for thousands of years, but not tens of thousands of years. Like I said, I got carried away. It’s another question altogether as to when domesticated horses reached the Rhine. I could not easily find the answer to that question and seeing as this podcast is on Julius Caesar and not horses I hope you’ll forgive me for leaving it unanswered.    Correction #2: In this episode I say that most of the Gallic traders sailed to western Britain. It would be more accurate to say most Gallic traders sailed to a part of Britain West of where Caesar wanted to land. According to historian Adrian Goldsworthy one of the Gallic traders’ most important ports was at Hengistbury Head.   Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory  Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History"   Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com

Julius Caesar has some spare time before the campaign season is over so he decides to try to mop up some pesky smaller tribes still holding out against the might of Rome. These concerns are soon forgotten when a large Germanic host crosses the Rhine and tries to make their new home in Gaul. Caesar tries to deal with them with a combination of diplomacy and threatening action but it ends in a debacle that will be hotly debated in the Roman Senate. Julius Caesar’s greatest Roman foe, Cato, will even suggest that Caesar should be handed over to the Germanic tribes for punishment.    Correction: I mention in this episode that there are accounts of World War 2 soldiers being bogged down in horrible mud not far from where Caesar was fighting the Menapii and Morini.

Crassus and Pompey take the consulship by violent storm, backed by Julius Caesar. Their triumvirate wishlist from Lucca will take even more violence to get approved but Crassus and Pompey seem happy to use naked force where bribery and covert coercion fail.

Julius Caesar may have defeated the fiercest of the Belgic tribes but there are still tribes that continue to resist.

In this episode I use the terms interchangeably.   Correction: I discuss the practice of forcing your enemies to “pass under the yoke” in this episode. I stated the yoke would be a triangle made of spears that defeated soldiers would be forced to march under. This was a mistake as the yoke would really be two spears stuck into the ground with a third spear running perpendicular and connecting them at the top. This would form a rectangle for the soldiers to walk under, not a triangle.   Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory  Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History"   Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com
