Caesar vs. Pompey: The Push towards Civil War
In this chapter, the podcast discusses Marcellus's inflammatory actions, the recruitment of troops by Pompey, and the lack of aggression from both sides. The war-mongering attitude in Rome continues to grow, with some men even hoping to profit from the war. As the year 49 BC begins, Caesar faces unfriendly consuls but manages to get two loyal men elected as tribunes, including the important Mark Antony.
