Julius Caesar: The Man Who Changed Rome Forever

Julius Caesar rose from the dangerous politics of the Roman Republic to become one of the most powerful men in the ancient world. His campaigns in Gaul transformed his reputation. His decision to cross the Rubicon plunged Rome into civil war. His victory over Pompey left him dominant in Roman politics. But as Caesar accumulated unprecedented power, a group of senators became convinced that the Republic itself was in danger. On March 15, 44 BC — the Ides of March — Caesar was assassinated. His death was supposed to save the Republic. Instead, Rome descended into another period of civil war, eventually leading to the rise of Augustus and the beginning of the Roman imperial era. In this Empire History documentary, we follow the complete story of Julius Caesar — from his early political career and the conquest of Gaul to the Rubicon, Cleopatra, the civil war, his dictatorship, assassination, and the transformation of Rome that followed.
