The March of History: Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar’s famed luck fails him as a storm heavily damages his fleet leaving him and his Roman army stranded between the English Channel and some angry British tribes. To make matters worse, the Roman army is low on food and Autumn is swiftly approaching.

Julius Caesar launches his reconnaissance in force of Britannia. The British tribes stand ready to defend their island home and have no intention of allowing the Romans to land without a fight.

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.

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. This was a slip of the tongue and I meant World War 1 soldiers.

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. We also take a quick look at Caesar’s key legates in Gaul and the civilians that act as his proxies in Rome while he is in Gaul waging war.

With the first Triumvirate publicly unraveling at the seams, Julius Caesar attempts to save the alliance. Calling Crassus and Pompey to his province of Cisalpine Gaul he lays out what the future could look like with Rome’s three most powerful men continuing to work together. We also take a detour through the strange family relations of Cato and the Optimates.

Julius Caesar may have defeated the fiercest of the Belgic tribes but there are still tribes that continue to resist. Using siege warfare the Belgae have not dreamed of, Caesar sets out to teach them that resistance to Rome is futile. Upon completion of the campaign Caesar declares the whole of Gaul as being pacified.

Back at home, Rome goes absolutely wild. In this episode we also delve into why the Gauls posed such an existential threat in the minds of ordinary Romans and what it meant to them to see Caesar defeating the Gauls/Belgae in battle.

In another move to deepen the growing bond between soldier and General, Julius Caesar gives his army time to recover before pursuing the Helvetii. For their part, the Helvetii still have one last surprise in store for the Romans. Eventually, Caesar must play judge and jury on the fate of the entire Helvetii. We also take a deep dive into the motives behind Caesar’s actions and how these have been viewed throughout history.

Julius Caesar’s army is famed for being a well-oiled machine that had a fanatical devotion to their commander unlike any seen in history. At this point in our story, they are not yet that army. Caesar plans a clever trap for the Helvetii but miscommunications and scouting blunders combine to ruin his well laid plans.

Julius Caesar’s army faces early setbacks against the Helvetii. Soon Caesar finds out the real enemy is within his own camp. Faced with the prospect of his army’s starvation, Caesar must wade into the complex world of inter-tribal politics to find out why his allies aren’t supplying his army with food as promised.

Julius Caesar recruits additional legions without permission from the Senate. With his new army he races to confront the Helvetii as they rampage through the territory of tribes allied with Rome. Caesar catches up with them at an opportune moment, and, never being one to miss an opportunity, he seizes it. We gain our first glimpse of Caesar’s ruthlessness in Gaul.

A massive migration of "barbarians" is headed directly for one of Julius Caesar’s provinces. This is Caesar’s first test as Proconsul. The tribes say they want to pass through Transalpine Gaul but promise not to misbehave. Caesar is having none of it. What’s more, he has spotted an opportunity for glory. 

Note: Further Gaul and Transalpine Gaul are two names for the same province. 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.

Julius Caesar sits silently outside of Rome pulling the strings of politics like a spider perched on a web. Clodius wins the Tribuneship and immediately goes after his enemies, namely Cicero. In the ever escalating feud between these two senators, the norms of the Republic are being eroded at an alarming pace. Violence and brute force now rule the day.

Vettius comes forward with another conspiracy that has all of Rome in confusion. Julius Caesar does his best to capitalize on it. Plot twists compound on plot twists to turn this into one of the most confusing conspiracies in ancient Rome.

At the first and most important of these votes chaos breaks out in the forum and fists (and much smellier substances) start to fly.

Julius Caesar wins the Consulship in a landslide. Despite this, he is put in a political corner by Cato and the Optimates’ maneuverings ahead of his year in office. Caesar will need to use all of his charm, charisma and political acumen to find a creative solution around that immovable object that is Cato. Necessity is the mother of invention and soon one of history’s most famous alliances is born. Caesar then starts off his consulship with a bang, unleashing a flurry of major legislation to the Optimates' displeasure.

Pompey Magnus has been away from Rome for 5 years waging war and reorganizing the Eastern half of the Roman empire. He returns to Rome as perhaps the richest and most accomplished Roman General of all time up to that point in history. Despite this, in Rome he finds nothing but jealous and obstructive aristocrats looking to knock him off his high horse. Seeing the opportunity of a lifetime, Julius Caesar races back to Rome to hold his triumph and run for Consul.

Julius Caesar sets out for Further Spain to take up his post as Pro-Praetorian Governor. There he is determined to find himself a war in which he can win glory and riches to pay back his debts. Showing early flashes of the brilliance that would make him famous in Gaul, Caesar establishes himself as a rising military commander in the Republic and silences critics.

Julius Caesar’s Praetorship ends with a scandalous bang. Cross-dressing combines with sacrilege to create a scandal the likes of which Rome has never seen. We introduce you to a new individual whose appetite for personal vendettas is unparalleled in history. While Julius Caesar attempts to extricate himself from the controversy without destroying his political career, his creditors grow impatient.

Enter the stage, Publius Claudius Pulcher.

Correction: While the Claudii go back to some of the earliest days of the Roman Republic (specifically, 6 years after the founding of the Republic), they were in fact originally a Sabine family. The Sabines were at war with the Romans and the Claudii defected and joined Rome. Therefore I believe it would be inaccurate to call them a “Founding Family of Rome” as I say in this episode. Additionally, The Julii (Julius Caesar’s family) are believed to date back to the time of the Roman Kings and therefore would have been an older family in Rome than the Claudii.

Cato causes a ruckus as Quaestor, reopening old wounds from the days of the Dictator Sulla. In a bizarre trial, Julius Caesar uses an archaic law dating back to the Kings of Rome to prove a political point.

Notes: The other religious college I mentioned is the Augurs.

Correction: At one point I say Julius Caesar’s speeches as the prosecution do not survive in the Gaius Rabirius case. While it is correct that his speeches did not survive, he was not the prosecution, he was the judge (albeit not a very neutral one).

Pompey aims to gain an unprecedented command to wage war on the Mediterranean’s pirates. Julius Caesar works to get in the General’s good graces.

Correction #1: In this episode I say Julius Caesar visits Transalpine Gaul after his Quaestorship. In fact, he visited Transpadane Gaul which is in the area of the Po Valley within the province of Cisalpine Gaul (Northern Italy). Transalpine Gaul did not have Latin Rights.

Correction #2: In this episode I say Lucullus raised catfish. While I can't find any source that specifically states the type of fish he raised, it is likely he was raising bearded or barbed mullets.

Note: Lucullus does eventually receive his triumph but it takes a few years and a lot of political wrangling from the leading men of the senate to make it happen.

Correction #3: Pompey has been referred to as adulescentulus carnifex. My apologies for botching this pronunciation. 

Correction: Mithridates was the father-in-law of Tigranes, not brother-in-law.

Julius Caesar makes a name for himself in Rome as a womanizer. A view into the women of the Roman Republic and the women in Caesar’s life. (Enter Marcus Porcius Cato and Servillia).

Note: Suetonius tells us Caesar drank very little wine and that even his enemies admitted that.

Correction: While Servillia’s affair with Julius Caesar was embarrassing for Cato, Servillia would have fallen under the authority of her husband when married, not Cato.

Note: It would probably be more accurate to translate cursus honorum as course of honors

Led by the legendary Spartacus, a massive slave revolt seizes Italy. Barbaric measures are taken to return the Republic to its status quo (Enter Pompey Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus).

Note: As best I can tell academics continue to debate the origins of gladiatorial games. This was the case even in ancient times with Nicolaus of Damascus stating that gladiatorial games were Etruscan in origin and Livy stating they were Campanian in origin.

Julius Caesar returns to Rome with a splash. Determined to make his name known he enters the law courts to prove his prowess as an orator. (Enter Marcus Tullius Cicero).

Correction: It was Livy that characterized Rome as conquering the world in self-defense.

Correction: Arpinum is Southeast of Rome

Correction: Cicero was aided by his grateful Sicilian clients when he was Aedile. Not having the money to throw elaborate games, he was instead able to provide food sent from Sicily to the people of Rome.

A young Julius Caesar journeys to the eastern half of the Roman Empire in the hopes of adventure and glory. Military life suits Caesar well and he is soon a rising star in the Republic. Even the fearsome pirates of the Mediterranean come to respect his name.

Marius and Sulla compete in a contest of ‘who can terrify Rome the most’. All concept of restraint, pity and mercy are forgotten. In this civil war between two Roman titans, it is the Roman people themselves who are made to bleed. Amidst all the chaos and bloodshed, a young Julius Caesar makes his entrance onto the stage of history in dramatic fashion.

Correction: At one point I mistakenly say Caesar’s uncle and cousin’s heads were mounted on the Rostra. This is only true of young Marius (cousin of Caesar), not the elder Marius (Caesar’s uncle).

A generation before Julius Caesar etched his name into the history books, Republican Rome was dominated by two larger than life personalities, Marius and Sulla. To understand the world Julius Caesar was born into, you need to understand the great feud between these two titans. A feud that tore the Republic apart and bathed the city in blood.
